Jeepers Creepers Reborn (2022)

Well, they went and made another one and hoo-wee is it a stinker. It’s 87 minutes of awful plot, bad acting, and cheap special effects. This is the kind of movie that makes you want to punch a wall. The thing I found to be most offensive was how it starts off with Dee Wallace and Gary Graham as this couple driving through Texas…

Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017)

The first Jeepers Creepers is somewhat of a classic. The second one is not as good, but still managed to have some fun moments. This third installment feels a bit like a made-for-SyFy movie. Some parts were enjoyable, but it never managed to establish cohesiveness. At times, it flirted with the possibility of revealing more of the Creeper mythos, but then left the audience…

Unfriended (2014)

It's a clever idea with a unique technology twist where the whole film is told through the perspective of a computer screen using mostly Skype, Facebook, and YouTube. It's like Blair Witch meets Scream with a ghost in the machine. While I was sort of entertained in a car accident-watching kind of way, I found so many things to dislike. The characters are awful…

Howling V: The Rebirth (1989)

There's a werewolf in a castle in Budapest and a group of douchebags, each with a special triangular arm marking must stop it before it kills them. But who is the werewolf? This is the most boring piece of crap "horror movie" that is a direct-to-video sequel capitalizing on the Howling series name.  So much time is wasted just walking around stair passages and…

The Blob (1958)

I have a soft spot for the 1988 remake starring Kevin Dillon, but this original film is better in most ways. Sure, it is rather old and suffers from the limitations of the time. The special effects are better than I thought they would be, and had me wondering how they pulled certain things off. Steve McQueen is great as always and it’s fun…

House of Wax (2005)

Let me start by saying this is NOT a good horror movie. But there is something so wonderfully mid-2000s about it, I can’t hate it. In fact, I delight in all the ridiculousness. From Paris Hilton to the rocking nu-metal soundtrack to the incredible amount of effort put into the sets and wax effects. Plotwise, it’s kind of Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Wrong Turn.…

Critters 4 (1992)

Those lovable furballs are back and this time it’s on a spaceship. I always love how these movie series have to have an “in space” installment. It takes FOREVER for anything to start happening in this movie. The critters don’t show up until about halfway through the movie. Surprisingly, it has Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif. Did they read the script? Or maybe they…

X (2022)

I am not understanding the audience's love for this one. It’s a basic plot about filming a porno in backwoods Texas that turns deadly at the hands of an elderly couple? It would have to be Texas, wouldn’t it? It just took forever to go anywhere and it’s only 106 minutes long. When the blood eventually does start to flow in the second act,…

The Forever Purge (2021)

I was expecting just another boring Purge movie and it is really not that. It starts with the return of the Purge, but after the one night of mayhem is over, something is different. Various factions decide they don’t want to be done Purging and things get out of control very quickly. The main cast is then faced with a difficult task of survival…

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)

This is probably the 4th or 5th time I've seen this movie and I still don't know what the hell is going on. It's just such a writing mess and really seems like they were just going for upping the gross out factor. They succeeded, but that's not enough for a good horror movie. You need to also have a coherent story with stakes…
