Phantasm (1979)

Man, this only has a 6.6 and you’re left wondering, were people watching the same movie that I was?  Or were they too dimwitted to either get it or be ashamed that they didn’t get it so they didn’t give it as high of a rating?  Once you accept that there isn’t a ton to […]

Halloween Ends (2022)

After Halloween Kills, I must admit that my expectations are quite tempered. I haven’t heard a lot of praise for this. But we live in a time where the loudest people are often the most negative. In some ways, I like coming into this with negative reviews because I have no expectations. Usually, I can […]

Halloween Kills (2021)

I liked the previous film. It was good enough to get the rest of the trilogy greenlit. I have nothing new to add other than I just hope that this is fun. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, just fun. I was going to do a play by play, and I am glad that […]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

In the new fad of pretending that sequels never existed so we can create confusing timelines, we get this TCM which is a sequel to the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh, and it says “from the team behind “Don’t Breathe” and “Evil Dead“. If that’s a selling point, let’s take a moment to mourn for […]

The Predator (2018)

Just look at this cast and tell me how it can be bad. Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Dreamcatcher, The Mist), Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones), Trevante Rhodes (Bird Box), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Olivia Munn (X-Men Apocalypse), Jake Busey (Starship Troopers, Enemy of the State, Twister, Identity), & Sterling K. Brown […]

Predators (2010)

I think I saw this once and felt underwhelmed. I don’t remember it at all. I think I rented it. Looking at the cast, it’s stacked. Robert Rodriguez is the producer, so that gives me hope. We have Adrien Brody (Royce), Topher Grace (Edwin), Alice Braga (Isabelle), Laurence Fishburne (Ronald Noland), Walton Goggins (Stans), Danny […]

Prey (2022)

I’m not going to do my traditional review. I just wanted to enjoy this. I’m gonna give you some thoughts and rate it. My first impression of this, say the first 30 minutes, was “yawn, another girl power movie”. We had the smart girl who none of the men would listen to. Sound familiar? And […]

Poltergeist (2015)

Here’s what I know or have heard about this. It is a reboot with entirely differently named characters. Sam Rockwell is in it and I love him in everything I have seen him in. I have heard that there are a lot of unnecessary jump scares, which I hate. And this has a 4.9 on […]

Poltergeist III (1988)

At this time, I think the studio is hoping to make a minor comeback and attempt to keep the franchise profitable. But Craig T Nelson didn’t want to return. He was interested in potentially returning for #4, but that was before Heather O’Rourke died before they finished filming. This is obviously her last film and […]

Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)

I don’t remember if I have ever seen it. I think I did once. I once had one of those DVD mailer things, I had 6 DVDs out at once. I blew through so many movies that calendar year. It was glorious. But my memory is trash. I don’t feel excited about this one. I […]
