The Night House (2020)

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…

Cry Wolf (2005)

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…

NFL Picks – Week 7

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…

Hellraiser (2022)

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…

The Vagrant (1992)

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…

NFL Power Rankings – Week 7

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!…

Studio 666 (2022)

All work and no play make Dave a dull boy. What could have been a fun and goofy rock band horror flick, ends up being this excessively long yawn fest. None of the band members can act. Nothing was ever that scary. A lot of the jokes fell flat. The bad editing kept shots lingering for too long. I just wanted it to be…

Days 11 & 12 – White Sands National Park

June 27th - it was my birthday! Although we spent the day travelling, we did go out to eat once we arrived in Alamogordo, NM and set up camp. On our way back from dinner it was raining and we saw a double rainbow going over the Sacramento Mountains. Our campsite at Oliver Lee Memorial campground was amazing. We just kept driving toward the…
