  • Tales of Halloween

    Tales of Halloween 2015

    ★★★ Watched 22 Jan 2025 3

    Tales of Halloween is a horror anthology that mostly sits on the shitty side of the scale, but it has it's bright spots. Its certainly not as awful as Deadtime Stories or Watch if you Dare, but certainly not great like Creepshow either. This one is more on par with mid level anthologies like Body Bags and that is a shame when considering the solid cast featuring names like Adrienne Barbeau, Lin Shaye, Adam Green, and Barbara Crampton as well…

  • The 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen

    The 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen 2014

    ★★½ Rewatched 17 Jan 2025 3

    "You are watching 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen" - P.J. Soles

    That line of dialogue will be stuck in your head for fifty days after watching this show. That's because she says it before and after every film summary and segment. Sometimes multiple times in a row! This is like one of those early 2000's VH1 shows that would count down things with little factoids and brief summaries from minor celebrities and crew members. Sort of like Pop…

  • Phoenix Forgotten

    Phoenix Forgotten 2017

    ★★ Watched 15 Jan 2025

    Oh look. Another found footage film that's way too drawn out with little to no payoff at the end. This time with "aliens." Too bad we didn't get to see one. While its certainly not the worst found footage flick I've ever seen, there really is nothing special here worth recommending. Nothing. The acting is ok but the characters are forgettable. I wish I had more positive things to say but I can't help but feel I should have dedicated…

    Saturday Night Shorts: Film 278

    A woman pops in an old VHS tape and discovers a terrifying secret.

    Peek a Boo is the third of Neil Stevens film that I've seen, with the first two being The Clapper and The Monster. Though I wasn't really much of a fan of The Clapper, there was enough to like about The Monster that it kept me interested in watching another one of his creations. Much like The Clapper, this is a very…

    Saturday Night Shorts: Film 276

    The tale of Anthony's first day at school.

    It's been almost a month since my last film review. For the first time in four years I fell short of my annual goal. Sixteen reviews short to be exact. I even had twelve days off from work and still couldn't bring myself to watch a film. I guess I was burned out. Today I am going to try to get back into the swing of things…
