My quick rating - 2.0/10. Another one was selected only due to the length (63 minutes). Jason Impey is a name I have seen pop up on some of the Grindsploitation and other shock videos before, so I expect some twisted gore out of him. The knife looks like a plastic prop. Anyone can perform this level of blood effects, seriously. I have literally done better myself, live. There is not an ounce of plot going on here. So you don't get to find out why this couple is roped up and

My quick rating - 3.6/10. Looks crappy, but a quick skim on IMDB mentions "campy" and "cult b-budget goodness" so I felt like I had to give it a shot. Pretty ambitious-looking homemade project with an interesting mix of effects. Geez, the one robot who constantly just gives the Hulk "HUURRAAARRGGGHHHH" the whole movie is really damn annoying. If you saw a 5-minute YouTube video such as this, I would think you would be quite impressed by the creativity and visual prowess that

My quick rating - 3.5/10. One of those choices by length (70 minutes), I wasn't aware this was an anthology flick, but the idea of the scenes playing from the film festival they are viewing beginning to play out in real life in the theater does work. The first Banshee story was a bit bland, but it did work for a thrill when it interjected itself into the theater-going and did its job, introducing the method the stories will come to life for the audience. Second, Werewolf. The

My quick rating - 6.4/10. For what they had to work with and being in lockdown during making this, I am very impressed. By far exceeds any of the nonsense the Paranormal Activity flicks did for scares. The actors were perfectly annoying as all hell, as I know they were supposed to be. This may bug you, but realize it was a necessary component of it. I would score it even higher had one thing constantly bugged me during this. No one on the planet if they were going through w

My quick rating - 3.4/10. When the creator of the flick takes the time to put this in his own film synopsis on IMDB , I have to go check and see if the 3.8/10 rating is warranted or not. "*NOTE: This movie's star rating was review-bombed by a right-wing snowflake.* As you can see, not only is the 3.8/10 warranted, I think it is overshooting this one. The only review bombing I saw on IMDB was all the 10s, which this flick is a far cry from. First off, the 8 characters we meet

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Some extremely creative camerawork in this one. Opening kill scene, rotating camera around both sides of a door, fight scene. The flashbacks were rough sometimes since the daughter and the young version of Boksoon looked alike. The start makes it clear that Netflix is where you'll catch this one. Then again.... Kill Boksoon (2023) #action #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.4/10. Well-made and acted out film that includes your scares, some misdirection, and nice flashback material into the plot fairly seamlessly. It's nice to sit back and watch a movie that intends to scare and make you think without trying to give a gorefest. As you all know, I love me some brutal violence, but it isn't always necessary. This movie's focus is on a mirror that basically encompasses and possesses those who gaze into it. When a family is en

My quick rating - 6.7/10. I enjoyed the other two, so why not? Oh, that was supposed to be some surprise? Please, I saw that a mile away. No spoilers, but c'mon now. Aside from that hiccup of thinking, this is a decent entry into the series. I did see this one as a minor step down from the first two, though. The buildup, having Creed ( Michael B. Jordan ) retire from boxing on top and moving into training, is a logical move. At this point, he is visited by an old neighborhood

My quick rating - 3.5/10. This is a short film that popped up in an article I read. Sounded interesting enough. Definitely an homage to the 80s horror flix, camera work, filter, and all. Even added the purposely corny acting by our leading ladies. Amazon has this one for a 99 cent rental if interested. Trepidity (2022) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 5.7/10. One from the After Dark film festival, which was THE premiere horror movie showcase for a few years back then. According to my database, I watched this, but it was a shitty quality version back then, so an upgrade came along, and to be honest, I don't really remember it anyways. It did come back to me, especially the refresher of a horror flick with Dominic Purcell . This small group of friends gets all drunk after a funeral and decides to head to t

My quick rating - 6.1/10. Sometimes posters set you up for one kind of movie, only for the film to head in a completely different direction. Furies looks like it might be a Vietnamese spin on Charlie’s Angels , but once the opening unfolds with a brutal assault and the murder of a mother, it’s clear this is not a playful spy romp. This is a revenge-driven action flick with trauma and blood at its core. And as it turns out, it’s also a prequel to Furie from 2019, though, con

My quick rating - 6,2/10. After watching the Mark Twain award presentation for Adam Sandler , they reminded me quite a few times that the sequel for this one was coming soon, so I figured I'd better dig into that new release folder and check this out. I am always up for a good old-fashioned mystery flick, and this is really all this sets out to be. Teaming with Jennifer Aniston , the couple has perfect comedy chemistry on screen, and the script offers them ample time to be

My quick rating - 5.5/10. The latest in the not-so-popular Puppet Master series is in the same silly vein as the others. If you haven't seen them before, the plot is quite simple. Killer dolls. The thing that sets these movies apart is that the makers don't even attempt to use special effects to make the dolls appear lifelike. Meaning, unlike Chucky, no CGI or effects are used for the killer dolls. They are just moved around to look cheesy as all hell for the viewer's amuseme

My quick rating - 4.5/10. The writer/producer of this flick, Sonny Mahal , was kind enough to send me a couple of screeners, this one included, so I thought I would check one of them out. It starts out with a ridiculous shootout after a robbery where a stand-off between the posse led by Richard Grieco faces off with the local sheriff and a dozen armed men. They are about 15 feet from each other and are able to MISS constantly, making the A-Team look like marksmen. Aside f

My quick rating - 3.9/10. Submission, err, Red Canvas or Art of Submission, released in 2009, or 2012, or, oh, forget it, all the same movie. This is an MMA action/drama movie centering around the plight of a young adult who wants to train to be a mixed martial arts star. Of course, he is in troubled times, and the movie attempts to juggle the action with the drama, but falls short on it. The tempo switching in this movie is often too random to hold the audience's attention,

My quick rating - 6.6/10. In between the excellent Satan's Slaves pictures, Joko Anwar was able to slip in another horror flick, which I am pressing play on right now. Work interrupted, back tomorrow. ( Obviously, I never returned to give a proper review) The beginning says Shudder original so check it out there among others . Impetigore (2019) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 5.4/10. This horror-thriller movie centers around a young girl named Thale ( Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne ) who becomes a witness to a brutal murder that takes place at a party. As the story unfolds, Thale finds herself caught up in a mysterious and dangerous world, where she must navigate through the darkness and horror to uncover the truth behind the killer's identity. This is where my first gripe pops up: interviewing the witnesses from the party, which w

My quick rating - 5.5/10. Very pedestrian stand-up set. He is mildly amusing, but the subject he focuses on is drinking booze. Keep that in mind since some of the jokes just won't make sense if you aren't into drinking. From his set, I gather he has some YouTube show, maybe? Or along those lines, where he goes around the world learning about the drinking culture of that area. In other words, he found a way to make money drinking abroad. If I could get away with that, I would
