What I'm Watching: The Editor
From the bleak to the bizarre, my next review is of Astron-6's Giallo homage and parody, the Editor. They've had successful homages of styles before with the grindhouseian Father's Day, so how does their attempt to go Italian work out with The Editor?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Maggie
Arnold Schwarzenegger plus zombies probably gives you a particular image in your head for what to expect from a movie. "Maggie" completely undermines that vision. But is it any *good*, and did I like it?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: The Martian
Do I need to sum up The Martian? Who hasn't read or seen this by now? Okay, fine. During a mission to Mars, things go horribly wrong, and astronaut Mark Watney gets left for dead on the Martian surface, with only limited supplies, and a long time until help comes. How good can a movie be focused on a single guy talking to himself for two hours? Fortunately, better than that sentence...
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Gravy
We're halfway through the month, so to take a break from straight up horror, I decided to review a black comedy written and directed by Psych's James Roday. Every Halloween, a trio of cannibals take over a restaurant and have a feast made from the staff that unfortunately stayed behind to close up. Is it a feast or a famine of humour? Click in and read on!
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Arkham Sanitarium: Soul Eater
Found footage movies set in abandoned asylums sure aren't anything new, but what happens when a group of paranormal investigators go to visit the most famous asylum in all of horror, Arkham Sanitarium? Well, let's just say Cthulhu isn't happy about it...
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Sledge
What? Another movie about kids in the woods getting killed by a mythical campfire story killer? What makes Sledge stand out? Click in to read more!
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: V/H/S/2
I finally watched the original V/H/S last Sunday, so here I am a week later with the NEXT in the series, V/H/S/2. Do the capture the same magic on videotape a second time?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Final Girl
One of the common tropes of horror movies is putting women in danger. Now, it's far from revolutionary to turn that around, but that's more or less what Final Girl does. So what do I think of it?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Swamphead
Another review from the Trisk pile, and we're diving back into the 80s, without actually going back to the 80s. Yep, it's another classic horror style homage, and this time it's about an evil decapitated head rising from a swamp called, appropriately enough, Swamphead.
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Harbinger Down
Genre legend Lance Henriksen heads off into the Bering Sea and encounters mutant tardigrades? Oh yeah, I have to review this, don't I?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Haunter
What do you get if you take a pinch of Beetlejuice, mix it with Groundhog Day, and stir it around until you have a murder mystery, and then tell the story from the ghosts' point of view? Well, you get Haunter...
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: It Follows
I am SO far behind reviewing this movie, but since I'm on a roll with reviews, here's my thoughts on what may be one of the best horror movies this year, It Follows. Oop, I guess that spoiled it a little.
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: V/H/S
I'm doing a good job of getting a bunch of reviews done finally, and I have finally sat down and watched the found footage anthology flick, V/H/S!

Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Last Girl
What happens when an urban legend becomes all too real? What happens when a movie breaks all boundaries? What do I think about a movie where a girl gets kidnapped and has to try and fight her way free? Click along to read all about it!
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Lost After Dark
I do a quick review of an 80s homage where some kids head off to a cabin in the woods...and things go so, so horribly wrong, they don't even make it to that familiar trope!
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: The Horror of HP Lovecraft
While over on the main reviews I'm doing an anthology, it's time to review an anthology over here! In a movie with less than 85 minutes of runtime, and nine - NINE! - short stories inspired by HP Lovecraft, can even one of them be any good? Let's find out!
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Tormented
Back with another review, and after yesterday's review of Torment, I thought I'd follow up with TORMENTED! I mean, with that title, another home invasion story where someone is stalked by a family of Murder Hillbillies in stuffed animals masks, they MUST be related...right??
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Torment
Torment is yet another home invasion horror movie, and it brings a few interesting things to the table. But the biggest plusses here are the cast. But does a pair of solid leads in Robin Dunne and Katharine Isabelle make a good experience out of yet another movie with Murder Hillbillies?
Read MoreWhat I'm Watching: Love in the Time of Monsters
I'm a bit later than I planned in reviewing this, but here you go, my thoughts on Love in the Time of Monsters! A little flick where some Bigfoot costumed guys at a themed vacation location play with some chemical waste, and things go horribly wrong!
