The Empty Man (2020)

It's like Slender Man meets Candyman without the hook and the bees. The supernatural elements are there, but the story is kind of a mess. The movie starts with 4 hikers in some remote foreign country. One of them falls into a crevice that opens to a cave with a strange statuesque alien-looking skeleton. The hiker starts acting strange like he's possessed by some…

Suspiria (1977)

Dario Argento's Suspiria is a classic horror movie and a must-see for anyone who likes Italian horror. I surprised myself by not having reviewed the movie yet. It should not have taken 12+ years and over 300 movies to get to this one. The story is simple: Suzy is an American dance student who travels to Germany to study at a prestigious German ballet…

A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

Watching as many horror movies as I have, it is pretty rare for me to yell at the characters or kick at the TV screen. A Quiet Place Part II had me doing both a lot more than I care to admit.

Snakes on a Plane (2006)

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…
