Eric’s Review: Ready or Not (2019)

Empowered, woke, and witty, the new vampire film Bit explores how a small band of lesbian vampires survives and thrives in Los Angeles.
Joseph’s Popcorn Frights Review: Queen of Spades: The Looking Glass
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Though it doesn’t bring much new to the “teens in peril because they played a ghost-summoning game” subgenre, Queen of Spades: The Looking Glass offers enough visual flair and cultural differences to make it worth seeking out.
Robert’s Popcorn Frights Review: The Sonata (2018)

A beautifully shot Lovecraftian tale of classical music and madness.

Mike’s Review: The Boar (2017)
🐷🐷.5 out of 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
The planet is running out of animals. Literally and figuratively. Hollyweird has given us sharks (Jaws 1-4), rabbits (Night of the Lepus), bears (Grizzy), fish (Piranha), and man’s best friend (Cujo). There’s even been birds, wolves, snakes, rats, and gators, and whatever the hell a sharktopus is supposed to be. One of the things that Hollyweird hasn’t gotten its money-grubbing paws on is the pig, javelina, or boar – until now.
Robert’s Popcorn Frights Review: Infeccion (2019)
★★★ out of ★★★★★
The first zombie movie filmed in Venezuela hits the screen with some biting social commentary.
Mike’s Review: Green Inferno (2013)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★ Are you looking for that something extra to jolt you out of life’s day-to-day doldrums? That little something to shock your system in to a complete state of hysteria? Something so odious and vile that your mind won’t know how to process the capital “G” grisly-gore? Your pals at the Scariest Things Podcast have found just the thing. Enter…Green Inferno.
Eric’s Popcorn Frights Review: Villains (2019)
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★

Robert’s Popcorn Frights Review: Itsy Bitsy (2019)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★

★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ With splendid performances from its two stars and crackerjack direction, Homewrecker combines some of the darkest […]
Trailer Alert: The Lighthouse
Robert Eggers is back at it again, with another grim-looking period piece in glorious black and white. The trailer oozes with foreboding and brooding melancholy and stars Willem Dafoe and Robert (Batman) Pattinson.
Eric’s Review: Trench 11 (2017)
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
Trench warfare in World War I was an ugly scene. It just got uglier in the worm-infested zombie-ish horror flick Trench 11.
