According to some people, there is only allowed to be one good horror movie a year. Something that is clearly leagues above the rest in terms of story, production value, acting, and whatever. Last year it was It Follows, the year before that The Babadook. In 2013 we had The Conjuring, and if I can …

Dark Places
When I was a very young kid, I was in a dark place. But then it was my birthday and since then my life has been nothing but light! I might take this joke out before I publish this review. A few things intrigued me about Dark Places. One, the pretty heavy cast. A lot …

True Story
True Story is a True Story! And given the cast, it is going to be a hilarious romp about a real life situation that is probably grossly exaggerated! Or or or or! No, maybe this is a pseudo-sequel to This Is The End? Our main characters playing themselves, maybe pre-Apocalypse! Wait. What? This is a …

White Bird In A Blizzard
If I was a White Bird, I would stay far away from blizzards. Correction, if I was any color bird, I would stay away from all forms of snow. Fuck that. Birds and snow don’t go together. I am also under the impression that penguins are secretly fish. I don’t think my bird body could …

Enemy
Enemies are quite annoying. Everyone probably has a few. I know I have several, including: The Morlocks, Jafar, Tropical Flavored skittles. The list just goes on and on and on. But what if your enemy was yourself? I have heard that if your enemy is yourself, it is often your worst enemy. That has got …

Odd Thomas
Odd Thomas was definitely not on my original watch list. Not until I saw that it recently came out and had an young actor on the front who I tended to enjoy. Yep, then I dropped my plans, and decided I needed to see this movie instead. Apparently it is based on a book series, …

Trance
Trance came out in theaters in late March, but apparently never came close to my area, so I had to wait until the DVD Release. You’d think a college town would be able to justify more indie and lesser known releases. But then again, you’d think a college town would also have trivia nights at …

The Tall Man
The Tall Man movie looks like your standard horror creepy film. We got a clear bad guy, the movie is named after him, and he is intimidating looking. Right? After all, here is the IMDB description. When her child goes missing, a mother looks to unravel the legend of the Tall Man, an entity who …

All Good Things
My quest to watch all the Ryan Gosling movies has lead me down interesting paths. It turns out he has been in multiple thriller / almost horror films, but none of them are any sort of standard slasher film. Stay ended up just being strange the entire time, with Gosling as a minor character. But …

Case 39
Case 39 is a movie I easily walked by hundreds of times before giving it a chance. Why did I give it a chance now? Boredom, mostly. The cover is boring. The stars aren’t my favorite. I just never cared about ever seeing it. That is until I found out that Bradley Cooper was in …
