This is one of those period pieces that takes a bit to get going, and then you start wondering: "Is this thing even moving?" At the beginning, a family is banished from the town due to a disagreement. Living out in the wild means the family must do more prepping for when winter comes. It also means the baby of the family gets abducted…

His name is Chucky and he wants to plaaaaaay. A serial killer transfers his soul to a kid's doll and an unlucky boy gets the evil doll as a birthday present. What's the worst that could happen? As the story progresses, the boy becomes aware of the danger from the Chucky doll, but there is no way any adult would believe his story. They…

This is another one of those "How is this a sequel?" movies. It's like the American Horror Story series on FX, it doesn't have much connection from season to season other than it's about supernatural/scary stuff. The plot in a nutshell is about this guy named Jesse and his girlfriend who move into this old mansion that has been owned by Jesse's family for…

Better tagline: "Boys will be boys." A janitor at a government research facility unwittingly jump-starts a zombie takeover, and it's up to three slacker boy scouts and a stripper to save the world, or just stay alive.

The plot is typical with characters being terrorized by zombies. Some of it takes place on an island and…

But he's got a Jeep and a hot girlfriend that only cares about going to the biggest party of the year. And he has daymares. But his family is kind of incestuous and he walks in on his sister…

Horror anthologies were popular in the 80s. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe people liked smaller stories that packed a concise punch. Movies like Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, and Twilight Zone: The Movie were just a few that managed to pull it off (more or less). Nightmares is not a very good anthology. The four stories are supposed to be based…

This will be the 7th annual event. I've already begun the selection process and I'm excited about the options available this year. I'm going to work very hard to do all 31 reviews. I must do it for the sake of completeness. As always, I'm open to suggestions if anyone would like me to review something special. Below you'll find my tentative list: Nightmares…
