My quick rating - 2.3/10. This flick starts out with a videotaped introduction to an intervention that is narrated by Cortney Palm as Kayla, who seems to be sleepwalking through this role. Her boyfriend, Richard ( Hutch Dano ), gets his intro as the one who has a problem with drugs and alcohol and needs help from his friends. Pretty sure this is a personal statement type of movie that writer/director Dano is conveying a message under the guise of a horror film. There wouldn

My quick rating - 3.7/10. Solver is a movie that tries to merge a mystery thriller with an escape room adventure, but fails on many of the important points. Though it seems to be an interesting premise in which Luke's grandfather disappears, and thus the unraveling of clues and puzzles, the execution very much lacks the real pace. First, the biggest negative is subpar acting. The acting from the cast, especially John Ruby as Luke, was quite shallow and did not manage to get

My quick rating - 7.3/10. I have been looking forward to this one ever since I heard of its existence. Three siblings discover an old vinyl recording that spawns blood-starved demons that run wildly in an apartment building in Los Angeles, putting the siblings in a struggle for survival in a nightmare of a family that no one ever dared fantasize. It is only because I am a horror film buff that I appreciate how this film initiates you into its world from page one, as this film

My quick rating - 3.3/10. True events? Just popped on Radarr and caught my eye. Seems a woman fills in for a friend as a stripper and instead is held hostage in a found footage style flick. I was surprised when our main character, Marieh Delfino , got picked up by a limo driven by Tony Todd , so they did throw some money around on this. There is a group of woman who are there to audition for someone and do their routine to be judged, without music. Very odd watching the girls

My quick rating - 5.9/10. The quick synopsis caught my attention. The flick centers on the sisters as they initially use the machine to discover music from the future and place bets, before realizing it will best be used to help fight the Nazis. But when the sisters clash, the consequences are catastrophic. This has to be the first found footage film I have seen where the recordings are from the 1930s-1940s. The sisters played by Stefanie Martini and Emma Appleton invent th

Brotherhood Of Blades 2

My quick rating - 6.5/10. I have read good things about this before, and I thought a change of pace would be nice. Unfortunately, the English dubbing is way off, and this is the Blu-ray, so aside from software time shifting, there isn't an easy fix (in other words, I'll try at some point). The action in this is well-choreographed and edited to a tee. The camerawork to film the scenes makes each look great and fits in with the epic nature of the music chosen during the battles

My quick rating - 4.5/10. The narrator sounds like he really has to go to the bathroom throughout the whole documentary. Just wasn't a very well-made documentary. There didn't seem to be any information or interviews from anyone who was actually involved in the case. I didn't get any feel for the legal side of things going on, and when they did want to give those details, it was text only to read. Pretty disappointing stuff. Only a few streamers are carrying this one with ad

My quick rating - 7.2/10. This one sounds familiar, and if it is the one I am thinking of, I know it is good stuff. Yes, this definitely was the flick I was thinking of. The film does a great job of giving solid action that is choreographed very well, along with laying down a political commentary to back it up. The cast was solid top to bottom, with no single person standing out, so why not name the main players? The movie begins with an attack on a foreign compound in Riyadh

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Polite Society is a light-hearted and entertaining flick that follows the journey of Ria Khan ( Priya Kansara ), a martial artist in the making, as she embarks on a mission to bail out her elder sister Lena from an arranged wedding. Together with the help of her friends, Ria decides to plan a wedding heist, which stems from her own need for experiences in independence and sisterhood. Although the movie has its light-hearted and lovable instances and

My quick rating - 4.6/10. Let's see what Bec picks for us tonight. It doesn't take long before you have plenty of reasons to hope Jess, played by Dani Barker , is the first to be killed. I felt like all they did was rip off Black Mirror (not sure if they did it directly or not), but it definitely had the earlier seasons' vibe to it. Barker runs a video log cam site where she makes money by what appears to be faking things for her viewers, such as S&M shows or something alon

My quick rating - 3.9/10. I have always been a fan of Rutger Hauer , but I don't believe I have ever seen this one. I see that Albert Pyun directed this one, whom I have been a fan of ever since the criminally underrated Nemesis . Granted, he loves to churn out STV mediocre stuff often, but he still has a style that I cannot put my finger on. Unique in some way and always focused on the whole cyborg/robot thing. This time his apocalyptic world consists of only the androids r

My quick rating - 4.3/10. New horror, about all I know. A quick look at my database tells me it is Australian, and James Skinford ( Joshua Brennan ) plans to steal and flip a mystery truck to make some money and save his sick father, but his plans are thrown into chaos when he meets a woman with an immortal touch. It felt more like a movie just full of ideas and no real storyline. My fiancé was quick to point out that Charlotte Best , who is our damsel in NO distress since

My quick rating - 7.0/10. Not really going to write a review. I find this stuff fascinating, so I am always up for checking them out. There are some incredible discoveries made yet again by the Egyptian Indiana Jones, Zahi Hawass . The only thing keeping it down a bit for me is the amount of conceptualizing done about the new pyramid. Nothing bad, I just feel like these specials do this on purpose to bring you back for more, you know, a cliffhanger LOL. But if interested at a

My quick rating - 3.8/10. Getting to this one finally, since I shut it off a couple of years ago. It does start off with an exceptionally lazy setup, so put your reading glasses on. A terrifying infection is released, and one family will fight to save their children against a band of marauders, hellbent on revenge in the midst of a deadly apocalypse. A lot of really stupid decisions are made by the people who are supposed to be the survivors, which are only done to make a mov

My quick rating - 5.0/10. All I could think of as I was watching this movie was that I had already seen it, but only by the story, since the actors didn't at all look familiar. It was driving me crazy, but I realized this is a remake of Last Shift , and all I can conclude is the director, Anthony DiBlasi , did so just to get some cast diversity since Jessica Loren ( Jessica Sula ) is a black woman this time. Pretty dumb reason to redo a flick. Hopefully, you read the previou

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Another surprise low-budget horror film that shows the amount of money you put in doesn't have to define the end product. The movie itself starts out simple (yet obvious) enough with a rookie officer, Loren (Juliana Harkavy), pulling last shift duty on a closing precinct. I use that word since the premise is awfully similar to "Assault on Precinct 13". Anyway, that being said, the story similarities end there. I did catch a few camera shots and setup

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Great soundtrack so far. The Pope's Exorcist is a supernatural thriller that follows the journey of Gabriele Amorth , portrayed by Russell Crowe . He plays the role of the Vatican's top exorcist. This is such an intriguing way to take an already good movie and add it to the mix of the conspiracy that has been hidden by the Vatican for so long. Above-average acting in the movie, along with the amazing soundtrack that I pointed out immediately, the mo

My quick rating - 2.3/10. I have had this flick for quite some time, just taking up space. Well, Bec did a blind pick of this one, so we'll see how it is. I did notice that Kane Hodder is in this one, so I'll assume he takes the killer role. I don't believe I have ever seen a slasher flick that has gone so far out of its way to cover up the women's boobs so blatantly. At least 2 of the 3 main chicks here were very clear about not showing those nipples, that is for sure. And

My quick rating - 5.1/10. I’ve always been a fan of City of the Living Dead  (aka Gates of Hell), so it’s no surprise that Nightmare City  (aka City of the Walking Dead) ended up on my radar, especially given how often the two are compared. On the surface of things, of course, this appears to be simply another gloriously bonkers zombie flick from that great nation of Italy. An airplane is irradiated en route, lands for reasons that are unclear, and out come the bloodthirsty u
