So, one of my favorite bits from V/H/S got a spin-off movie. It’s not quite a witch but it’s kind of close and in a similar vein to the general direction, so this week’s movie is Siren. I enjoyed the V/H/S trilogy, and feel like they could do more and visit some of the monsters …
We start the year off with kind-of a stinker. Which I suppose is what I get for deciding to do 13 semi-random streaming movies* for this block. Mary is currently streaming on Hulu. There’s nothing really wrong with this movie — it’s got a decent cast, the acting isn’t bad. The idea of a haunted …
Short review for New Year’s. Despite being officially off work wormed into my day and so I’m abbreviating this: Good enough movie. It does what it set out to do. Ironic that NYE ends up with a batting average of a thousand. Report card: Runtime: An hour thirty. Acting: Average. Effects: Not really. Violence: A …

Or is it Christams? Let’s hit the most positive part first: * IMDB says 2012, Tubi says 2016. This movie is bad. Sometimes, Syfy originals are fun to watch. This one was not. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on it, because I already wasted too much time watching it. The worst …
This may be the first majority-not-in-English movie I’ve ever reviewed here. But the translation of the captions is spot on, some of the funniest stuff from a horror film. Spoilers: So, basically, an old rich idiot is wanting to dig up this old burial site. That burial site? The original Santa Claus. Who is apparently …
This is an interesting horror movie to start our Christmas movies with. As always, but restated for this review especially, spoilers below. One of the things a lot of people may not realize (because of the success of Halloween and related movies centered around the holiday of Halloween) is that the original horror stories with …
Thankskilling is a rare film: it was made on a budget beneath even shoestring, maybe a floss budget. $3500. It’s meant to be bad, and funny, and it accomplishes both of those things. It’s short and to the point, without a lot of filler. Like a lot of horror films, the protagonists aren’t necessarily likeable. …
Lately, there has been an explosion of horror movies featuring a discrete theme: a group of masked assholes is killing random people (in this case, an unattractive, broke college student who is dating the X-Men’s Havok), usually to either film it or just to get their rocks off. This movie is one of those. The …
