This is a tough one. While this movie does a lot of things right, I can't really get over how it feels a lot like a special/practical FX showcase as well as being extreme for the sake of being extreme. If this is all that the new wave of horror can offer, then I'm not convinced we even need a new wave. I liked…

The title makes you think it's a fun girly comedy type movie. Far from it, dude. This movie falls into the category of "Early 80s Slasher Wannabe" where it attempts to recreate the success of Halloween or Friday the 13th, but without actual entertainment value. The plot centers around someone dressed up as the college basketball bear mascot killing people during some all-night scavenger…

Sometimes you need a fresh perspective on an old story and this movie does that. Nicholas Hoult plays the iconic Dracula toady character Robert Montague Renfield. The supporting cast is Nicolas Cage as the evil Count Dracula and Awkwafina as a cop. The plot is simple enough: Renfield grows tired of doing Dracula's bidding and wants to break free to live his life for…

I saw that this was on Hulu and the premise was sort of intriguing. It's about a girl who lives alone and encounters an alien invasion taking over her small town. Aliens are cool. I like aliens. It is kind of an Invasion of the Body Snatchers with new twists. It turns out the girl is shunned by her community for her accidental killing…

This is more of a comedy than a horror. Or rather, it's a satirical look at horror films from an African American point of view. It pokes fun at various tropes and stereotypes when a group of friends rent a cabin in the woods to celebrate Juneteenth. Forced to play an oddly racist board game at first, the friends must answer questions about black…

It's a psychological horror film about a psychiatric doctor who witnesses a patient commit suicide and seemingly begins to lose her mind. She believes she's cursed and that a dark entity is stalking her with murderous intentions. It's fairly reminiscent of It Follows, but stays unique enough to keep the viewer invested. Amongst the tension building and jump scares, the main character of Rose…

This is what you might call a Halloween (1978) ripoff movie. It starts off similarly, it has shots that mimic the stalking/watching style, and the music is very synth driven. But this isn't a John Carpenter film, it's Ulli Lommel and what the film lacks in just about everything, it makes up for in just about nothing. You can tell the actors are trying…
