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

Satan's Slaves (2017)

My quick rating - 6.9/10. This and its sequel have made "best of" horror lists for their respective years, so I am going to check them out finally. Reading subtitles is a hassle with my eyes as of late, so I procrastinate. Very atmospheric with the camerawork and lack of sound at the right time to really suck you in for the scares. The family is torn apart initially when the mother passes away mysteriously to start this one. But there seems to be far more going on than just a

The Kindred (1987)

My quick rating - 5.0/10. Not bad for a B-budget horror flick. There have been other movies of the same name, but I don't believe anyone saw the need to remake this one. The Kindred (1987) #horror #IMDB #Plex
