#115 – Devil’s Backbone, Texas

This is such a disappointment of a horror film and even using that term seems dubious.  A documentary style shot film that deals with true events and rumors and legends to set a tone that’s supposed to be eerie but really sets no tone at all.  We’re supposed to be left in the dark about…

#31 – The Town That Dreaded Sundown

A solid horror movie that plays with the original film in such a unique and creative way.  Part slasher film, part homage, part investigation, this movie really kept me interested though the ending left a little to be desired.  Probably a more enjoyable experience if you’re able to watch the original 1976 version first and…

#68 – The ABC’s Of Death

Anthology movies are a little hard to review but this one was pretty easy.  26 short horror films and most aren’t worth your time. A few standouts but most were either too short to really make an impact or strange for the sake of being strange.  There’s an ABC’s Of Death 2 but after this…

#106 – Preservation

A well done horror film that is a good entry into the genre.  I really loved the leads and how things are slowly revealed about their relationships and problems.  As things start to go wrong and we see how they are starting to play out, we’re introduced slowly to the menacing, masked hunters and there’s…

#107 – The Quiet Ones

A movie that straddles that line between horror and drama and doesn’t really do it all that well.  I’m always excited to see Jared Harris in a film and Sam Claflin impressed me in The Hunger Games sequels, they’re both good here as well as the other supporting actors but the story is just flat…

#41 – Dead Snow: Red vs Dead

The sequel to the awesomely fun Dead Snow that proved that Nazi zombies can be outrageous comedic horror.  This movie is just bonkers with all of the set pieces and story elements taken to a whole new level.  You have to know going in that this movie doesn’t care about narrative, this is over the…

#70 – Killer Mermaid

A pretty decent B horror movie that actually looks fantastic.  The acting is exactly what you’d expect but I was really impressed by how well it was filmed and the locations.  There’s this weird romantic dynamic to begin but the film really picks up in the second act with some fun action.  The finale however…

#87 – V/H/S Viral

I actually liked the first two installments in the V/H/S series but this one was just plain bad and boring.  Badly conceived, badly shot and badly edited and worst of all, it’s just plain boring, which is the last thing a horror movie should be.  If you’re looking for scares just go back and watch…

#45 – Borgman

Exquisite and demented, fun and terrifying, this is a movie that you never really comfortable with and it’s done so well.  Borgman starts unsettling and continues that feeling all throughout.  A movie that lulls and invites you inside until you realize the nightmare you’ve entered and it’s too late. Recommend? It would depend on who,…

#80 – Tusk

Strange is an understatement.  Overall I liked it, but man this movie is bonkers.  Kevin Smith continues his horror phase with a movie that ultimately tries to do too many things.  Had it focused on the tone taken through the first part of the film it really could’ve been a better movie but wow, it’s…
