The third in the franchise about the murderous hillbilly cannibal family from Texas. This one returned to the grittier roots of the first movie, and abandoned the campy tone of the second one. Though, there is still a little bit of camp (and we welcome it). The story follows Michelle and Ryan (human fodder), a couple who are travelling through Texas on the way…
In 1999, there was a fun little movie called "House on Haunted Hill" that was a remake of the 1959 Vincent Price movie. This movie is the 2007 direct-to-video sequel to the 1999 movie. Let me start by asking the question: "Has there ever been a good direct-to-video movie?" The answer is that most times the movie is dog shit and releasing to video…
Based on the 1955 novel by Jack Finney, a planet-wide alien takeover begins on the down low by replacing people with emotionless clones grown in pods as the people sleep at night. Teenage girl, Marti, moves to a military base with her family, makes friends with a rebellious Army brat, and finds an unlikely love interest in the form of a hunky chopper pilot.…
This is the 10th year of attempting the 31 Days of Blood and Gore horror movie review marathon. After about the 7th year, I started to think I would run out of horror movies. Honestly, that's not possible, because I now have a spreadsheet filled with close to 400 horror movies I've never reviewed. Then there is always the possibility of revisiting some of…
About a week ago, it was announced that Thom Yorke would be dropping a new album called Anima on June 27th. Yes, I know that was Thursday, so shut up. It was also announced that an accompanying Netflix short film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson would be released the same day. The album is synth-heavy and loads of fun. The hypnotic track Not the…
Now that the Wild Beasts are done as a band (sadface), the lead falsetto of the group has emerged from the ashes with his new solo album called Diviner. The first song I heard was Love Crimes and I was instantly hooked. It sounded reminiscent of Wild Beasts, but stripped down with a deeper intimacy. After listening a few times, I like the flow…
I saw this Canadian artist open for Yeasayer a couple years ago. For an opening performance, it was exciting and refreshing. She did everything herself with a couple keyboards, a computer, and a sequencer. The songs were fun and equally enjoyable as Yeasayer. The best part was that she was using some sort of vocal effect that made it sound like little leprechauns were…
Well, it's a little past Friday, but this album called U.F.O.F. by Big Thief came out and it is worth a listen (or actually two). The best way I can describe it is folksy with a tad of emotion. But wait, there's more! The opener, Contact, starts with a plucky riff under airy vocals, and by the end, distorted guitars perfectly parallel cavernous screams.…
After their third album in 2016, Sunlit Youth, I was hooked on the refreshing melodies of Local Natives that felt like a distant cousin of Radiohead and Grizzly Bear's love child. Much to my surprise and happiness, I saw this new one called Violet Street was coming out today. I've already listened to the album three times and it is delightful. The sonic feels…
