Eric’s Review: Corpse (2018)
★★ out of ★★★★★
A psychedelic art-school retelling of Robert W. Chamber’s King in Yellow, in desperate search of a coherent plot.
Eric’s Review: Hammer of the Gods (2018)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
Rock and Roll mixed with hallucinogens that reveal horrible truths. What could possibly go wrong?
Eric’s Review: Housewife (2017)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A wildly original, but often difficult to follow cosmic horror tale about dreams and destiny, from an emerging Turkish horror auteur director.
Mike’s Review: Terrifier (2017)
★out of ★★★★★ It’s rather rare that I, or for that matter, any reviewer starts a review with “…don’t watch this […]
Amy’s Review: Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel
★★★ of ★★★★★
A disappointing sequel to a randomly fun haunted house movie.
Eric’s Review: Dave Made a Maze (2017)
Dave made a Maze is surreal pop performance art that uses confetti for blood and silly string for guts. Completely unique and very odd.
Mike’s Review: Unsane (2018)
Pure brilliance. Elegant simplicity. Well if Regency pictures came to me and asked me for a pull-quote blurb, that’s what I’d say. Because it’s true.
Mike’s Review: The Nun (2018)
★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Lay. Off. The. Fog. Machine.
Eric’s Review: The Predator (2018)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
An entertaining and showy movie with a great cast and great dialogue, but an all too familiar been-there-done-that plot.
Robert’s Review: Spiral (2018)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
This ain’t your granddaddy’s bachelor party.
Amy’s Review: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
★★★★★ of ★★★★★
When slasher fans create their own movie.
Eric’s Review: Goodnight Mommy (2014)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Patience will pay off for the audience willing to persevere when watching this multi-troped thoughtful drama. The horror comes late, and with an emotional punch.
Robert’s Review: Dead Shack (2017)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
It’s teens vs. a family of zombies in this Kickstarter-funded Shudder exclusive.

Amy’s Review: Truth or Dare (2018)
★★ out of ★★★★★
Save yourself 90 minutes and just laugh at the trailer.
Eric’s Review: The Meg
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
It’s a big dumb shark movie. And, if you’re like me, and you like a good creature feature, it’s a fun film.
Robert’s Review: Residue (2017)
★★★ out of ★★★★★
A Lovecraftian flavored tale starring The Smoking Man and Max Headroom.
Mike’s Review: Satan’s Slaves (2017)
★★★★.5 out of ★★★★★ Directed by Joko Anwar Why is it that so many contemporary films are pining for the days of […]
Robert’s Review: One Cut Of The Dead (2017)
★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
The gilded halls of meta-horror brilliance just got a bit more crowded.
Eric’s Review: Prospect (2018)
★★★ out of ★★★★★
A curious little space-western-thriller, with a standout acting job by Pedro Pascal.
Eric’s Review: Tigers are Not Afraid (2018) [Mexico]
★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A dark fantasy of survival, remembrance, and revenge. A spellbinding and heartfelt Mexican offering, full of brilliant little details.
Mike’s Review: Piranha (1978)
★★★★out of ★★★★★ Ah. Near 1970s perfection. Gory, but not too gory. Pretty people, but not too pretty. Scary, but […]
Robert’s Review: Blood Glacier (2013)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
It’s a lot like An Inconvenient Truth (2006), but with more rampaging mutant ibex.

Eric’s Review: Spider Baby (1967)

★★★★★ out of ★★★★★
Celluloid brilliance meets astounding practical effects innovation.
Robert’s Review: The Thing (2011)
★★★ out of ★★★★★
Here’s what happens when a labor of love turns into “filmmaking by committee”.
Robert’s Review: The Thing From Another World (1951)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
The wise-crackin’, chain smokin’ granddaddy of one of the best horror movies of all time.
Eric’s Review: Open Water (2004)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
A survival tale that feels so honest and voyeuristic that it becomes hard to watch. A low-budget hall of fame film.
