Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 19: It’s a Wonderful Knife (2023)

We’re nearing the end of the holiday theme week of horror movies for the year so it’s time to go to the old standby of Christmas horror. This one also […]
Movie Mastery – Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter CottonHell (2014)
Movie Mastery – Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter CottonHell (2014) This is a movie that almost certainly stemmed from finding a weird rabbit marionette and then “writing” a “script” to […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 16: Valentine (2001)
I hadn’t watched this movie before because everything I had seen or read about it made it seem like an entirely forgettable slasher. Turns out, after having finally watched it, […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 15: Uncle Sam (1996)
The holiday horror theme moves into the patriotic realm of the 4th of July with one of the rare holiday themed horror films that isn’t Halloween or Christmas based. I […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 14: Black Friday (2021)
Moving only slightly forward in the holiday theme week, we’re going from Thanksgiving to Black Friday. I had been wanting to see this for a while. You’ve got a pretty […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 13: Thanksgiving (2023)
It’s a new week and we’re going to kick it off with the first themed week of this year’s Horrortoberfest season. I’m doing a full week of non-Halloween holiday themed […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 12: Suitable Flesh (2023)
I had never heard of this movie before and, honestly, when I saw that it was on my list for the month, I had no idea why I had put […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 11: Renfield (2023)
Today I’m looking at another Dracula related movie that centers on something other than the main story. Also, like The Last Voyage of the Demeter, this movie ends up featuring […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 10: The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
When I first heard about The Last Voyage of the Demeter, I was fairly positive on the whole thing. Taking the doomed voyage from Dracula and adapting it into a […]
Horrortoberfest ’24: Day 9 – Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022)
There wasn’t a whole lot that I knew about this movie aside from it had gotten positive reviews and was mostly about a pregnant lady being terrorized by something. I […]
Horrortoberfest ’24: Day 8 – In A Violent Nature (2024)
This is a movie I really wanted to see because it’s always nice when someone does something interesting with the slasher genre. Whether that’s moving into a meta-commentary on horror […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 7: Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Piggybacking off of yesterday’s review of a movie about possession and evil destroying a family, today I decided to look at the not-quite-sequel, not-quite-reboot in the Evil Dead franchise. Not […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 6: When Evil Lurks (2023)
This is probably the movie on my list for the month that I have been most looking forward to seeing. Everything I’ve seen or heard about this film has been […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 5: The Blackening (2022)
Yesterday’s horror selection was a horror comedy that left a lot to be desired in both the horror and the comedy sections. I figured I would take today to look […]
Movie Mastery – Slotherhouse (2023)
Movie Mastery – Slotherhouse (2023) A horror comedy that forgets it’s supposed to be comedic until about the last 10 minutes of the movie. At least the sloth puppet is […]
Horrortoberfest ’24 – Day 3: No One Will Save You (2023)
I chose this movie as a direct response to yesterday’s absolute flop. Skinamarink tried to eschew standard pacing and dialogue with an atmospheric creepy vibe that absolutely did not work […]
