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 …
Well… this is a movie. I’m not going to sugar-coat this review: We have a new Champeen, a new Worst Movie. Seriously this one is hall of fame bad, mostly because it is so boring. Seriously, this movie was hard to watch. I give older movies a bit of a pass on their pacing, too. …
This movie is a breath of fresh air. It starts with a very familiar, very typical slasher movie set-up: A bunch of youths are headed to a single, yet isolated location (in this case, the house one of their friends has inherited, on an island). Suddenly, there is a killer in their midst. Seriously, I’m …
Rather than just do the sequel, which I’m holding off on for another day, I went for the fourth installment this time. Our fourth Halloween (the holiday) movie is the fourth Halloween (the series) movie. Those unfamiliar with the series might not know that the third movie was a complete separation from the series — …
Our second to last Halloween movie, Trick or Treats, is from 1982 and it feels like it. The pacing, mostly. Here we go: This isn’t a great movie but I’ve seen a lot worse since I started doing this. It doesn’t do much as a movie: there’s a lot of build up to nothing and …
This movie is supposed to be a horror/black comedy. It has some darkly funny parts, but… I don’t know that it has enough to qualify for the slash. It takes place all on Halloween, so it’s our second Halloween (the holiday, not series) movie. I didn’t like this one. It seemed promising and kind of …
The first of our holiday-themed horror movies, and the first in the Halloween set of movies. This one starts out with a very Halloween-appropriate opening credits scene. It also starts out letting us know that most of our cast are absolutely obnoxious dickbags. Seriously, they introduce four of the future dead teens with scenes that …
