★★ out of ★★★★★
Save yourself 90 minutes and just laugh at the trailer.
Eric’s Review: The Meg

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.

★★★★1/2 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)

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”.

★★★★ 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.

★★★.5 out of ★★★★★ SOMETHING. DOES. NOT. FEEL. RIGHT. We’ve all been there, right? A friend invites you to this super […]

★★★★ out of ★★★★★
Don Quixote meets Jack and the Beanstalk meets Calvin and Hobbes in this poignant gateway dark fantasy film.

Beware the “mockbuster”: landmine of the cinematic landscape.

It’s everything I hate about dead pretty teenager movies… and yet… there’s still a kernel of something watchable about this annoying but twisty film.

★★★ out of ★★★★★
Sure, it’s dumb, but it’s a fun dumb.

A foam latex tiki tree monstrosity does its best Gumby impression in this awesomely bad classic from the Matinee Era of Horror.
Robert’s Review: Incident In A Ghost Land (2018)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Artful, well shot, nerve-wracking, and truly horrific.
Eric’s Review: The Ranger (2018)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A sly 80’s slasher homage, where tropes collide: Punks on the Run + The Cabin in the Woods.
