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...

Candy Land (2022)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit more than I expected to. It is a disturbing, intense trip through the life of Remy, which is acted, believe it or not, very well by Olivia Luccardi . She is cast out from her religious cult, leaving her vulnerable and lost. But ultimately, she seeks shelter with a group of truck station sex workers, leading to a new level of harsh realities. The characters of this new world are interesting, as each one is fro

The Demon's Rook (2013)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. "If Evil Dead (or Ash vs. Evil Dead) had a weird Wiccan cousin" was all I needed to hear to spark my curiosity and dive into the fantastical world of . The Demon's Rook . This independent film is a fun, although not flawless, experience for those who enjoy some horror combined with elements of campy horror, dark fantasy, and overall supernatural fiction. The plot is centered on a young boy named Roscoe (played by James Sizemore , also the writer and

Lovers Lane (1999)
My quick rating - 4.0/10. A man with a hook for a hand escapes from a mental institution to go after the children of his previous victims. Some seriously lame kills for being a slasher flick. Really just a sub-par entry into the genre that isn't horrible nor cringeworthy. This flick just doesn't do anything to evoke any sort of response except, "Well, that is over." I wouldn't go find it, but if it pops up on the tube, you may as well check it out if you are a horror flick f

The Blackening (2022)
My quick rating - 6.4/10. I popped on The Blackening, knowing it would be something I had seen before, and it infuses that with elements of both missed opportunities and commendable humor. This horror-comedy film follows a group of black friends who gather for a Juneteenth weekend getaway, only to discover themselves trapped in a secluded cabin with a deranged killer. Did that word "cabin" grab your attention? There are shortcomings, but it does manage to toss in some qualit

The Black Demon (2023)
My quick rating - 3.5/10. Not a lot of "sharking" is going on in this killer shark movie. The Black Demon aspires to be part of the wave created by "killer shark" films, but unfortunately, this particular flick fails to deliver the necessary level of excitement and thrills I associate with quality shark flix. Although the concept has all the makings of a thrilling experience, with the idyllic family vacation setting quickly turning out to be an actual nightmare through the e

Mark Normand: Soup To Nuts (2023)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. I needed some background noise while working, and standup is always great since it entertains without distracting you. Pretty damn funny. Not going to elaborate further, just enjoy his one-liner jokes delivered quite a bit like Norm MacDonald , which is definitely not a bad thing. I think the big red N lets you know Netflix is where to check this one out. Mark Normand: Soup To Nuts (2023) #comedy #IMDB #Plex

Dark Mixtape (2021)
My quick rating - 1.7/10. Looks like we have another wannabe "snuff" flick here. You have seen me mention flix, which attempts to make you believe they are real torture or murder caught on video. This has the grainy, static look and all to begin with. Let me break down how amateur this is. There have been three supposed videos so far, and they all have identical static effects going on. All consistent, meaning it isn't anything but a filter they turned on, not any form of ran

Jagged Mind (2023)
My quick rating - 4.6/10. I was absolutely going to delete this one, except for one thing. After it ended, I was chatting with a friend about the whole thing, so it did its job - it got us to actually ponder the whole thing, including the outcome. It does end up being a cut above a high-end Lifetime original thriller, LOL. So if that is a selling point for you, then have at it. Jagged Mind boasts an engaging premise that immediately drew me in. The film centers around Billi

American Mary (2012)
My quick rating - 6.6/10. The twisted twins , Sylvia and Jen Soska , are back with their second full-length feature. Now that people are taking notice to their talent, this time they have a budget (although they did need to take out a second mortgage to get the project off the ground). Anyway, this movie is about Mary, a brilliant med student studying to be a surgeon. Equally brilliant is the performance by Katharine Isabelle portraying Mary. Of course, money issues arise,

Little Bone Lodge (2023)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. New horror flick, so I want to check it out right away since that is what I do. This one is right on that line between horror and thriller. This film tells the tale of two brothers, criminal siblings, one critically wounded, on the run seeking refuge in an isolated and eerie farmhouse during a vicious storm. What starts off as a search for shelter rapidly develops into a thrilling tale of dark secrets and high tension. The strength of this flick lies

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
My quick rating - 6.3/10. A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer who stalks late-night commuters, ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways. I had completely forgotten Bradley Cooper was in this one. Got my hands on an unrated version, so want to check it out. There may have been a little extra added at the train's end of the line, so to speak. Other than that, it appeared as I remembered it, with my ra

The Tough Ones (1976)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. Sometimes, a simple IMDB comment like this, " Excellent Italian Police Brutality ," is enough to sucker me into watching. Since a dubbed option was available, I figured, why not? A random hunchbacked character ( Tomas Milian )? Definitely an interesting flick if you want to check out what the Italian crime movie scene was like in the mid-1970s. Just some really bizarre scenes in this, such as Milian hijacking an ambulance and then killing everyone o

Cannibal Cabin (2022)
My quick rating - 2.6/10. I have to assume I am in for a winner!! At least the tagline is funny, "You are what they eat," and again, "loosely based on true events." This is a good example of a movie trailer not only summing up the entire movie but also overselling it. You can clearly see the budget restraints during that, but you really get smacked in the face with their lack of funding while watching it. Assuming they did something creative with it, money would make no diffe

The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster (2023)
My quick rating - 5.3/10. I really don't think a movie title has been so spot on as a description of a movie. The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster offers an interesting premise that manages to hook viewers from the very beginning. The title of this movie is quite fitting as it sums up what this movie is all about, which is no less than an interesting journey of how a very smart teenager named Vicaria, played exquisitely by actress Laya DeLeon Hayes, sets out on a journey to

The Devil Comes At Night (2023)
My quick rating - 4.3/10. The Devil Comes at Night is one of those films that sounds like it should work better than it does. On paper, the blend of thriller and horror elements looks promising. In practice, it mostly spins its wheels and never finds a strong identity of its own. Directed by Scott Leaver , the film follows Ben, a washed-up boxer returning to his deceased father’s farmhouse in search of an inheritance. After a fight leaves him waking up inside the house, it

The Entity (1982)
My quick rating - 7.0/10. I remember watching this one on the Showtime box we had growing up before cable was a thing. Barbara Hershey plays a woman (Carla) who is attacked and raped repeatedly by some supernatural force, from what I recall. Back then, I didn't worry about things like how well it was acted, etc., so I am paying more attention to those aspects this time around. As if being raped isn't terrifying enough, she continues to be abused by something or someone she c
