Craving (2023)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. The action is absolutely cringe in this one. Acting is about on the same level as well. I really don't like it...

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts (2023)
My quick rating - 6.3/10. I am always game for some good, mindless action. And the latest in the franchise, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts , delivers a fresh take on the iconic universe that should please long-time fans and newcomers alike. Deciding to go with less established actors instead of more familiar ones was bold, and it still finds a way to lift itself up via an interesting storyline and outstanding special effects. It also takes a bold step by minimizing the role

Cobweb (2023)
My quick rating - 6.4/10. Hey, look, it is Homelander ( Antony Starr ) as the father in this flick. I definitely can relate to sibling rivalry, but this is to the extreme LOL. Cobweb is a chilling journey seen through the eyes of an eight-year-old kid named Peter ( Woody Norman ) , who has his life turned upside down by a harmless tapping noise. This psychological horror movie, directed by first-time feature film director Samuel Bodin , blends creepy atmosphere, a mysteriou

The Bigfoot Trap (2023)
My quick rating - 4.7/10. I was hoping to get a unique twist on the classic Bigfoot legend, offering a blend of crime and maybe a bit of horror. The Bigfoot Trap attempts to blend the fascinating world of tabloid journalism, urban legends, and the lengths people will go to create a compelling story. The plot centers around a tabloid journalist, played by Tyler Weisenauer , who embarks on a journey to rural America to investigate a man's ambitious quest to capture the elusive

The Flash (2023)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. Let’s just get this out of the way first, that CGI baby-in-the-microwave sequence looks rough. Like, “$220 million budget and still can’t beat the infamous dancing baby GIF” rough. It’s front and center, which isn't the confidence boost I wanted at the start of this long-awaited DC movie. Sadly, that moment ends up being a pretty accurate preview of The Flash as a whole. Occasionally fun, but wildly inconsistent. Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flas

Troma's War (1988)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. I haven't watched or owned this one in years, so time for a refresher. The setup is a plane crashing on some remote island, and in out-of-character fashion, instead of some cheesy prop to show the plane's descent to doom, it is all done dark screen and via audio. But in typical Troma style, the cast of characters is a variety of weirdos that can overact with the best of them. Well, the island seems to be inhabited by mercenaries from all over the gl

Dampyr (2022)
My quick rating - 5.3/10. I am always interested in seeing other countries' versions of classic horror themes, such as "vampires." This one looks at a modern Italian tale of a half-human and half-vampire called a Dampyr . Being set during the Balkan wars was an interesting touch to add to the war of humans vs. vampires. Unfortunately, this is a very inconsistent movie. Sequel setup? They might want to see how well this one is received. Harlan Draka, played by Wade Briggs ,

Influencer (2022)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Influencer starts off with a promising setting and a familiar yet engaging storyline. The plot lacks novelty, but the film engages us with decent acting and great landscapes. It sets the base and gives a good kick-off on what is to come. The story revolves around Madison ( Emily Tennant ), an influencer, who goes on an adventurous trip to Thailand as a solo backpacker. She faces various experiences during her trip, among them meeting CW ( Cassandra

The Third Saturday In October (2022)
My quick rating - 4.0/10. This came along with number 5 from the same year (part of the joke, I guess, it is horror/comedy), so I may as well check it out. This movie spends entirely too long on these 4 characters, who are the local pot-heads and their way over-acted interactions with one another and the local townsfolk. On one hand, this flick does a decent job of being a throwback to the 70s in its look. The film stock looks grainy, and the background artifacts like posters

Zom 100: Bucket List Of The Dead (2023)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. I started watching the anime of this show, and then a live-action dubbed version popped up, so I have to check it out. We get a completely different look at what to do in case of the zombie apocalypse in this flick. A far more humorous look, that is. Ok, the zombie shark is GREAT, very imaginative idea. After Akira ( Eiji Akaso ) takes on a new job where he works nearly non-stop, he finally gets a day off in the form of a zombie apocalypse. First off

Bird Box: Barcelona (2023)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Bird Box: Barcelona had a lot to live up to after watching the suspense of the previous, but regretfully, it doesn't quite manage to live up to the intrigue of its predecessor. The title of the movie appears to be a marketing gimmick to bank on the success of the previous installment. The actual sequel attempt falls flat comparatively, failing to generate the heart-pounding suspense I felt in the first. One of the best parts of the movie, without a d

The Last Resort (2009)
My quick rating - 3.1/10. I believe I tried watching this before, and the subtitles were cut off, and they are again. I am going to just watch it and see, since it doesn't appear to be anything worth keeping anyway. The beginning is meant to set up the evil that is at this resort, but it was shot to look like a home camera recording the footage, which threw me off. It is meant to be that way, just FYI. A group of women, none of whom can act their way out of a shoebox, head to

Andrew Schulz: Infamous (2022)
My quick rating - 6.2/10. I probably would've given this dude a 7 or so, but his laugh is really annoying when he catches himself laughing at his own material. Beyond that, this is just that guy you laughed at in high school who grew up to do stand-up yet never really matured at all. You would think it is airing somewhere but Justwatch has nothing.

Eyes Of Dread (2023)
My quick rating - 2.0/10. So far, this flick is a real test of patience. The stripper dancing half-naked for no apparent reason is literally the only thing happening. This movie really wants to be artsy with the filters and shadows. slightly missed writing a plot, though. After anything such as dialogue or finally, someone gets stabbed, they cut right back to the porn-inspired music and this chick dancing, so unless you have NO other means to see boobs, there is no selling po

The Video Dead (1987)
My quick rating - 4.7/10. An 80's horror flick, I don't believe I have ever heard of? I have to watch and find out. The acting is phenomenal, let me tell you. A supernatural TV is mistakenly delivered to a suburban family instead of a research lab. After the family mysteriously turns up dead, a new family moves in and finds the TV hidden in the basement. Soon, they discover the TV is actually a gateway for the undead. This one was mildly amusing but didn't really stand up

Aftermath (2014)
My quick rating - 4,6/10. Now, let me review the movie I just watched (read below for the confusion LOL). Searching for a happy ending to a tale of unimaginable disaster and horror, nine strangers find themselves holed up together in a farmhouse cellar in rural Texas. The United States has hastily become embroiled in World War 3. A young doctor named Hunter ( C.J. Thomason ) survives the nuclear attack and is thrown together by coincidence with a group of wounded and fright

Flight of the Living Dead (2007)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. This is one of those movies that is so dumb and so entertaining at the same time, you have to actually like it. For surely didn't win any awards for acting since it is downright awful. But who cares, you have zombies on a motherf&*king plane. I know, lame, but I had to do it. So what happens when a top-secret government formula for some type of disease that the military is highly interested in is being transported on an everyday airline flight? It is

Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break (2021)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. Sounds like a corporate daydream, so let's see what it is. Oh well, not corporate at all. I can definitely see that Tom Meeten has been checking out Michael Richards to get some inspiration for Paul Dood. This flick has some things to say about a few topics, including the individual's obsession with fame. Incorporate everyone watching Trendladder on their phones, and you know where the other dig is at. But just an everyday movie poking fun at the p
