★★★★★ out of ★★★★★
A stunning horror film debut from Ari Aster, who has delivered a terrifying tale of the disintegration of a family’s collective psyche, and the treachery of a matriarch that lasts long after she has died. Oscar. Worthy.

Eric’s Review: Blood Fest (2018)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
FUN! This movie is pure dumb fun. And, I mean dumb in a loving way. This is Egerton’s tribute to the zanies that are horror movie fans. We’re a little obsessive.
Eric’s Review: St. Agatha (2018)
★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A 1950’s tale of a desperate young pregnant woman who makes a costly decision to join a convent as a refuge of last resort. It might be the best scary nun movie you’ll see! (And yes, I know what that means.)
Eric’s Review: The Farm (2018)
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A hillbilly cannibal horror tale… and that should give you some clues about how this goes down. This is a hard watch.
The Scariest Things at the Overlook Film Festival: Day 2 Feature Films: The Farm, St. Agatha, and Blood Fest
Some gruesome hillbilly horror, a nunsploitation final girl film, and a goofy genre self-referential body count movie made up my Friday experience.

Eric’s Review: Rubber (2010)
Grindhouse meets the French New Wave in this oddball dark horror comedy about a sociopathic automobile tire that kills people with psychokinetic powers. Didn’t see that coming, did you?
Mike’s Review: Dr. Butcher, M.D./Zombie Holocaust/Island of the Last Zombies/Zombi 3/Queen of the Cannibals (1982)
★★ out of ★★★★★
Ok, I gotta get something off my chest. I saw the trailer for this beauty back in 1985 and was so horrified by its content I could have sworn that I’d seen the whole film — front to back. This was some seriously dense scar tissue built up over the years. But alas, I’d never seen this flic. That was, until a couple weeks ago.
Robert’s Review: It Came From The Desert (2017)
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Add another 1/2 if you’re a big fan of Finnish rock music or the Amiga.
Eric’s Review: A Quiet Place (2018)
★★★★★ Out of ★★★★★
A white-knuckle instant classic. Believe the hype!
Eric’s Review: Splinter (2008)
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Too bad the director and editors didn’t have more faith in their own monster effects.
Eric’s Review: Final Destination (2000)
★1/2 out of ★★★★★
This is what passed for mid-budget horror in 2000. A fine premise is completely undone by cliches and a bevy of poorly rendered characters making terrible decisions.
Robert’s Review: Never Hike Alone (2017)
★★★★★ out of ★★★★★
Because hockey masks never go out of style.
Eric’s Review: Creep (2014)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
It also could have been called Weirdo. (Paging Thom Yorke!)
