Cryptid (2022)
My quick rating - 3.8/10. So far, we have a monster flick that has some above-average production quality attached to it. There is a reason why movies like Anaconda or Lake Placid are entertaining even though they may not be considered "Good," and that is because they have fun with their campiness. This movie is the exact opposite of that. As I was watching, I really wanted to like this flick. Unknown creature in the woods, very good quality camerawork, but then the dialogue s

Night Of The Bastard (2022)
My quick rating - 4.7/10. It isn't that this is a good movie, but it grew on me. It has a sort of grindhouse feel like the 70s-80s horror flicks, when they focused on the satanic cults being the main source of evil. Nostalgia aside, the plot is pretty much paper-thin. A group of people is attacked in the middle of nowhere by a cult, and one of them escapes to a secluded house. Our heroine ( Mya Hudson ) meets a typical character, London May , who is forced into being the her

Severance: Season 1 (2022)
My quick rating - 8.4/10. Unfortunately, the only place to check this one out is on that cesspool, AppleTV (wink wink). You had to figure sooner or later they would put out something worth it. Severance: Season 1 (2022) #thriller #IMDB #Plex

Night Of The Axe (2022)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. Needed a short flick, so this fits at 61 minutes. Also, it didn't take long to see that this is a quick B-budget slasher flick. A group of horrible actors, I mean, old friends, decide to get together for a reunion of sorts since they basically all live in the same town. But when some coworker is invited along for the ride, an escaped asylum inmate happens upon the group, and the fun immediately begins. I use the term fun quite loosely since the budge

Skinamarink (2022)
My quick rating - 2.8/10. I saw a trailer a while back and thought this one looked creepy. It is one of my least favorites, a found footage type flick, sorta. It is more just constant camera cuts showing different angles of footage. Sometimes these angles appear to be from the children's perspectives. Very "experimental" type of film style, for lack of a better way to put it. So far seems to be a massive test of the viewer's patience. I don't mind a slow burn, especially sinc

The Raid: Redemption (2011)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. (That was from when I watched this in Indonesian with subtitles. I now have a dubbed & uncut version that is eye-friendly, so I'll see if it changes). The story is quite simple. A corrupt police force is sent in to bust a paranoid crime lord's 30-story drug haven. I would love to say I noticed the differences in this uncut version, but I did watch it the first time about a decade ago, so there wasn't anything that jumped out at me. However, that didn

Pussycake (2021)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. Finally got my hands on this one. Hopefully, that trailer I was showing wasn't the only decent part of this flick. This time AppleTV and Amazon are the expensive ones so I won't fault you for checking with Google , Youtube , Vudu or Microsoft for 2 bucks cheaper (but click the poster below just for my numbers) Pussycake (2021) #horror #IMDB #Plex

Exit Humanity (2011)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. Fans of Zombie movies should read this. It will not be what you are expecting. Yes, there are zombies, and yes, they get shot....but this movie is so much more than that. This flick is completely character-driven, and the plot is so much more than a zombie flick. Set just after the Civil War, an unlikely couple ends up trying to save one dude's sister. This movie looks incredible, and the scenes really caught me off guard. The acting is excellent for

Detective Knight: Independence (2023)
My quick rating - 3.7/10. Final flick in the Knight trilogy ( Rogue and Redemption ), and since I have seen the other two, which had some entertainment value, I may as well wrap it up. Hey, look at that, it is Dizzy ( Dina Meyer ) from the cult flick, Starship Troopers . This flick is proving that you cannot take just anyone and make him the villain. Yeah, everyone not named Bruce Willis or Lochlyn Munro in this movie is absolutely worthless, but the kid they picked as the

The Price We Pay (2022)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Even though he seems like a douche, I have always been a fan of Stephen Dorff , especially after the criminally underrated Botched . Speaking of, this movie has a similar wrong guy at the entirely wrong place vibe, such as that flick had. This time, Dorff is hired to rob a pawn shop, in the middle of some small town, that has 250K in cash (i think that was the amount) on hand. Never mind how there is no WAY in hell they would have that much cash, it

Snow Falls (2023)
My quick rating - 2.3/10. Saw a trailer about a month ago and thought this one was worthy of a look (like I wouldn't have watched it anyway.) You know what would be more exciting than this movie? Staring out the window and watching the SNOW FALL. A group of mostly annoying adults head to a cabin during the winter, but after the power goes out, they start acting like irrational morons. You are supposed to think they are losing their minds, or the snow is inherently evil, but i

Strangeland (1998)
My quick rating - 4.9/10. I don't believe I have seen this since I left the theater. Time to check it out again for my collection. I know if nothing else, the music in this was good stuff. It really was a wasted flick since they could've developed it a lot better than it did. I blame the writing for that since the idea was there. Strangeland (1998) #horror #IMDB #Plex

The Rig (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. Set on a remote Scottish oil rig, The Rig kicks off with an eerie, supernatural premise as a dense fog rolls in, isolating the crew and unleashing forces beyond their comprehension. The show thrives on its claustrophobic setting, creating a palpable sense of dread, with stunning visuals and impressive special effects amplifying the unease. Iain Glen does a good job through both seasons as Magnus, the head honcho of the rig, bringing a steady, command

Pain & Gain (2013)
My quick rating - 6.6/10. Did the Rock appear in every movie throughout the summer of 2013? Anyway, this movie is based on a true story, which makes it that much better when you see it. Reason for this? These "criminals" have to be the dumbest people in the world. The story revolves around 3 fitness trainers or muscleheads who decide they want better things in life. Well, of course, the best way to get them is to steal them. The mastermind of this is Danny Lugo (played by Mar

The Old Way (2023)
My quick rating - 4.8/10. I figured I'd give something a bit different a try. Westerns aren't my typical go-to. But this keeps popping up on the Firecubes Amazon banner, so why not? It was pretty easy to pick out the star of the show, and it was NOT Nicolas Cage . He did have a bit of a bounce back recently with a couple of decent flicks, so I was hoping it was just a spell of poor choices, but this one is mediocre at absolute best. I swear, it seems that he can act so well
