I See You (2019)

This is another one where I had no idea what to expect. For the first half of the movie, I'm thinking it's some supernatural entity messing with a family. Boy, was I wrong. Helen Hunt plays Jackie Harper who recently cheated on her husband, Greg, a police detective. This has caused quite a bit of tension and animosity, especially with their teenage son, Connor.…

Final Destination 5 (2011)

Here we go again. Apparently, this one was going to be called 5nal Destination, which makes no fricking sense. What the hell is a Five-nal? Just call it Anal Destination and let's get this party started! Sam (played by punchable face Nicholas D'Agosto) and his work colleagues are on a bus to a company retreat when he has a premonition that the suspension bridge…

The Wailing (2016)

From South Korea comes this macabre story about an inept policeman in a small village who must solve a series of strange murders to save his young daughter. It starts out innocently enough as the main character Jong-goo is a small town cop who is comically bad at his job and severely unprepared for what is about to unfold. After some unexplained murders, Jong-goo's…

The Final Destination (2009)

The original concept of Final Destination in 2000 was something new in the teen horror sub genre that started with Scream in 1996. The premise was simple enough: a high school kid on a plane has a premonition about the plane's fiery fate and all the people who exit the plane are then marked for death. Something something, you can't cheat death. Almost a…

A Classic Horror Story (2021)

I knew absolutely nothing about this movie going into it other than it was on Netflix. Sometimes it is good to go into a story with a blank slate, because then you can be a little more forgiving if things go off the rails. It's mostly in Italian about a group of people car pooling in an RV who get into an accident and…

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

Ah, yes, teen horror from the late 90s. What started with Scream in 1996 eventually devolved into a formulaic wasteland of 30-something actors pretending to be teenagers. This one is the sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. Even worse than the predictable plot was the reuse of the “Come and get me! I’m right here!” line as…

Razorback (1984)

When animals attack! This is a fun sub-genre of horror, where they take a type of animal and make it bigger, scarier, and more dangerous than than animal would be in real life. Jaws, Cujo, Anaconda, and Piranha are a few examples. It's often very effective as there tends to be natural fears of these animals already. Razorback is an Australian movie about a…

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…
