Mike’s Review: The Green Slime (1968)

★★★★ out of ★★★★★ Yes. It’s true. Some films are so awesomely bad that they’ve come full circle and are just plain awesomely awesome. And that’s the truth. One such film is the truly underrated and much ridiculed, 1968’s, the Green Slime. I mean the name kind of says it all.

Mike’s Review: You Might be the Killer (2018)

★★★ out of ★★★★★ If something is around long enough it’s going to be parodied. There will be barbs, jabs, satire and plenty of loving imitation. Even the tropes and trends that surround a specific genre will get reworked, turned inside out, and devotedly re-re-re-imagined.

Mike’s Review: The Witch in the Window (2018)

★★★★ out of ★★★★★ Many have characterized this film as “Hallmark Horror.” Which is, of course, lazy short hand for the fact that the film has an emotional component and it manages to draw the audience in to a deep and meaningful concern for the main protagonists. Mind you this is not “This is Us” or some other network pablum, but a legitimate exploration of a father/son relationship in the throws of pre-teen puberty -- set against HORROR, glorious horror.

Mike’s Review: Slenderman (2018)

There are those films that need no exposition, and there are those that need a-plenty. The 2018 pre-teen fright fest, Slenderman, is a film that requires ample elucidation. Unfortunately, it contains little to none (read: none). While Slenderman does have some partially admirable elements, it also contains a bag-o’-problems.

Black Mountain Side (2014) Review

★★1/2 out of ★★★★★

Intensity: 🩸🩸 for light body horror and paranoia

There are elements of a great survival horror tale here, but the end product is inconsistent in this half-thawed stew of madness and isolation.

Eric’s Review: The Transfiguration (2016)

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★

A sad and bleak little independent coming-of-age story of a would-be little urban vampire, whose pushes back against his miserable life in the New York ghetto in a very strange and sociopathic way.
