Mike’s Review: Schizoid (1980)

★★★ out of ★★★★★ Sleazy, greasy, grimy, grindhouse fare. It’s all here. Right down to a chilling and rather off-putting performance by one of the more odd actors to ever grace a horror film, Klaus Kinski. Hot on the heels of one of the all-time great horror performances in 1979’s Nosferatu the Vampyre, Kinski sleazes his way throughout SCHIZOID!

Joseph’s Review: Wolf Manor 

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Lycanthrope lovers take note: This humorous British romp is chock full of loving references to favorite fright fare of the past, as well as grue-filled action boasting plenty of solid-looking practical effects.

Joseph’s Top 10 Horror Films of 2022

This year had no shortage of incredible fright-fare films, and whittling down my “best of 2022” list to 10 from 20 strong candidates was a difficult task — one so daunting that I had to have two ties, as leaving any of the following features off of my list would have been a travesty. Here is what I ultimately came up with.

Robert’s Review: Yule Log (2022)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ancient curses! Decapitation! Time travel! Hillbillies! Rental property! Aliens! If you're a fan of absurdist horror/comedy, this one's right up your alley.

Mike’s Review: Regicide (Another Hole in the Head Film Festival 2022)

★★.5 out of ★★★★★ Regicide is one of those awesome $5 dollar SAT words. You’d swear you know what it means, but always end up having to look it up online. We’ll save you they trouble. Regicide is the killing of a monarch or king. In the case of 2022’s uber-indy flick Regicide, this kind of makes sense, but it takes the film an awfully long time to find the metaphor.

Mike’s Review: The Requin (2022)

★ out of ★★★★★ Laughably bad CGI. Overcooked and undercooked use of green screen. A shrill, bothersome, and awkward performance by Alicia Silverstone. And the sharks don’t even appear until the 50+ minute mark. These are just a few of problems with The Requin that could honestly fill an ocean.

Movie Posters We Love: Top Ten Movie Posters from 2022

Another year and another dollar! Once again Hollyweird cranked up the hype machine and had us parking our collective butts back in the theaters. What got your butt back in the theater? What got you to risk exposure to another Covid variant? What got you to shell out $14 bones for a mountain of greasy popcorn? The POSTER! That’s what did it.

Eric’s Review: Agatha (2022 Another Hole in the Head Film Festival)

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Agatha resides at the intersection of an experimental art piece and a horror movie. Knowing that, you know how to proceed with this film. Agatha is visually stunning but ultimately difficult to process at times. It is mesmerizing and dreamy and entirely devoid of dialogue, so your attention span will be tested. Ultimately if you like visually poetic and painterly films, this will be your bag.

Night of the Bastard (2022) Review

★★★ out of ★★★★★

Intensity: 🩸🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

Night of the Bastard is fun. Stupid fun. Be ready for a low-budget B-Movie brawler of a picture. A desert trailer-trash and Satanic Cult mashup awaits.

Mike’s Review: Cryptid (Another Hole in the Head Film Festival 2022)

★★★ out of ★★★★★ While no one on the Scariest Things Podcast is a licensed cryptozoologist, it’s fair to say that we all have an interest in this murky science. There’s even a few of us — gasp — that might actual believe in the cryptids! When this most recent offering popped up at the Another Hole in the Head Film fest we knew we had to search it out.

Brightwood (2022) Review

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ A crumbling relationship leads a couple to take their frustrations out on a jog around a nearby pond, but they get trapped in a mysterious Mobius loop that becomes a private hell for the two of them. A smart,, if repetitive (of course) time paradox tale that explores the truly destructive nature of a breakup in some very clever ways.

Mike’s Review: Pig Killer (2022 Another Hole in the Head Film Festival)

★★.5 out of ★★★★★ An evocative film name for an equally evocative true story. Pig Killer should not be taken lightly and nor should the horrible tale of Willy Pickton who killed and killed until he made his way in to Canadian history books as the most prolific serial killer in the country’s history.
