I’m a simple man who likes simple things. Give me a good story with good characters and throw in some Ethan Hawke and I’m there. This is very close to modern horror perfection in that it’s an interesting story with realistic elements that in some ways echoes the spookier side of The Silence of the Lambs. With hints of the supernatural, it never gets…
We left our gorgeous mountain campground on June 28, 2022 and had a truly spectacular drive. We arrived at Whites City RV Park in the early afternoon - it was a huge disappointment. While we had full hook-up and were just down the road from the National Park, the "RV Park" wasn't even a parking lot - it was more like a side alley…
This is the kind of surreal, avant garde stuff I love. It’s a movie about a killer tire named Robert with psychokinetic powers. He comes to life in the desert and goes on homicidal adventures, mainly because he gets pissed off when things aren’t going his way. As if that isn’t quite enough, there is a movie-in-a-movie aspect where an audience with binoculars is…
This is the perfect slowburn of mystery, tension, and psychological terror. On the surface, it seems like a simple grieving widow-goes-nuts story. Beth just lost her husband to suicide and is haunted by something supernatural that may or may not be her dead husband. There were several good jump scares and plenty of scenes that made my skin crawl. My skin doesn’t just crawl…
The mid-2000s were overloaded with teen horror garbage from the aftermath of Scream's success in the late 90s. This movie is no exception, though it's kind of surreal at times. At least most of the cast can actually pass for teenagers. The plot centers around some prep school idiots who concoct a mass email to their whole school about a made-up serial killer for…
Last week, rather than picking individual games, I picked who I thought was going to win each division at the end of the season. Time will be the ultimate judge but my predictions held up pretty well as Sundays games were played. Now back to picking a couple of individual games. Lions @ CowboysIn my preseason Lions predictions I had the Detroit coming out…
It’s like a fine onion where you keep peeling back the layers and it gets more pungent and grotesque the deeper it goes. But it’s got actual characters and a coherent story, which is rather surprising for a late-stage Hellraiser movie. Riley is the main character and her brother, Matt, goes missing after getting cut by the puzzle box thingy. How deep into hell…

Bill Paxton is always amazing and this is no exception. I know this isn’t a great film, but I really liked this movie for its simple premise and psychological back and forth of Bill Paxton’s downward spiral. You just can’t tell whether the main character is going nuts or really being haunted by a scary homeless guy. This is one of those rare movies…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Welcome back to the 64tacos NFL power rankings. I'm feeling pretty good because the Lions neither invented a new way to lose by exploiting a heretofore undiscovered rule book loophole to their own detriment or shit the bed by just being badly outplayed for 60 minutes. That's right, they didn't play!…
