Good old Samuel L. Jackson makes this tongue-in-cheek horror comedy worth watching. Aside from Sam L., the best thing going for this movie is that it has a simple plot and moves fast enough to keep you from asking any questions about the humongous plot holes. Sean (Nathan Phillips) is an Xtreme sports guy who witnesses a ruthless mobster kill a lawyer in Hawaii…
Based on the novel by Bram Stoker, I have to say that this is a weird movie, but I kinda dug it. After an archaeologist (Peter Capaldi) finds a strange large snake skull, he starts to suspect there is more to the local legend of the white worm. In comes the Lady Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) and people start getting bitten by unseen snakes when…
What you have here is a enjoyable spiritual cousin to The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Thing. A meteor falls to Earth and out comes a worm creature that infects a guy (Michael Rooker) in a small town, who becomes the main vessel for the hive mind. He does their bidding and infects a woman who becomes the balloon host for…
Oof. Who dropped the stink bomb? This is one painfully bad movie. The beginning starts with Mr. Re-Animator himself, Jeffrey Combs, as a comic artist who unleashes a demonic beast creature by drawing it. Fast forward many years to an art student named Whitney (Deborah Farentino) summoning the demonic beast through drawings. It's almost like a vengeance demon that goes after the people Whitney…
I remember seeing the VHS box for this at the video store. The multi-color stitched together eyeball was an effective way to sell Frankenstein as a visual. I never actually watched it until now, but the odd thing is that it seems to be out-of-print or only available on DVD. No streaming services seem to have it and the best I could do was…
It's a horror comedy twist on the body swapping classic Freaky Friday. Vince Vaughn plays a serial killer called the Blissfield Butcher who goes on a killing spree and accidentally changes bodies with a high school girl named Millie (Kathryn Newton) after stabbing her with a mystical dagger. The killer resumes killing as the teen girl, making it easier to hide from detectives. Millie,…
On the way home from a party, Kate (Franka Potente) becomes trapped in an underground subway station and hunted by an unseen creature as she tries to find a way out. Along the way, she attempts to find help from a homeless couple and a night guard. They did a really good job of keeping the creature as an unseen menace for the first…
This is the 12th year of reviewing 31 horror movies for the month of October. One week from today, I will embark on a daily dose of murder and mayhem for YOU. Are you ready? Because I sure am. We got some slashers and creatures and psychological mind-benders. There better be blood and butts or I'm not doing this right. So strap in and…
From the twisted mind of Rob Zombie comes this homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A group of four road trippers happen upon a homicidal "family" that does all sorts of grotesque stuff to their victims. It's very violent and bloody disgusting, but the plot is pretty boring and recycled. There just isn't much that is memorable or engaging. Aside from a couple little jump…
Written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, this classic horror anthology has some truly memorable scares. Stephen King played the simple-minded farmer Jordy Verrill who found a meteor that made everything sprout alien plant life. Leslie Nielsen showed up as a vindictive husband who became homicidal after finding out his wife was having an affair. Best of all was the monster…
