Two wild features from Popcorn Frights are both worth putting on your cinema radar.
Joseph’s Review: The Loneliest Boy in the World (Popcorn Frights Film Festival 2022)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
A troubled teen boy tries to put together a friend and a family consisting of dead people in this poignant, breezy, fanciful fairy tale.
Eric’s Review: Distress Signals (Popcorn Frights Film Festival 2022)
★★★ out of ★★★★★
Distress Signals is a micro-budget survival thriller, done simply, and executed well. This is a lost in the woods scenario, a story that we can all identify with. In its simplicity though, I found myself wishing there was more dramatic tension and more visceral threat. As thrillers go, this is more solitary drama than thrills.
Robert’s Review: Living With Chucky (2022 Popcorn Frights Film Festival)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Covering every entry in the long running Child’s Play franchise, this finely crafted documentary is sure to be a hit with fans of the wise-cracking killer doll, Chucky, and horror lovers in general.
Eric’s Review: Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters (2022 Popcorn Frights)
★★★★ out of ★★★★★
The unique and stylistically powerful art of Mike Mignola is put into the shadowy spotlight of the documentary of the Hellboy artist. A documentary is only as interesting as the subject material, and Mr. Mignola proved to be a fascinating study of a complex individual and a late blooming artistic genius.
Mike’s Review: Third Saturday in October Part IV (2022 Popcorn Frights Film Festival)
★★ out of ★★★★★
We all know the rule. Sequels are (mostly) awful. Always (most of the the time). The further you get into a franchise the sequels will GROW proportionally more awful. Two might be passable, but by the time you get to Part IV you’ve just purchased a non-refundable one-way ticket to Stink Town. Population: suck.
Mike’s Review: Malibu Horror Story (2022 Popocorn Frights Film Festival)
★★ out of ★★★★★
The CW made a found footage horror movie! Well, not really, but it sure feels like it. Too perfect kids. Too beautiful actors. Too perfectly clean footage and technology. Replete with a rag tag group of Scooby Doo-esque paranormal researchers!
