What you have here is a enjoyable spiritual cousin to The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Thing. A meteor falls to Earth and out comes a worm creature that infects a guy (Michael Rooker) in a small town, who becomes the main vessel for the hive mind. He does their bidding and infects a woman who becomes the balloon host for…
Oof. Who dropped the stink bomb? This is one painfully bad movie. The beginning starts with Mr. Re-Animator himself, Jeffrey Combs, as a comic artist who unleashes a demonic beast creature by drawing it. Fast forward many years to an art student named Whitney (Deborah Farentino) summoning the demonic beast through drawings. It's almost like a vengeance demon that goes after the people Whitney…
I remember seeing the VHS box for this at the video store. The multi-color stitched together eyeball was an effective way to sell Frankenstein as a visual. I never actually watched it until now, but the odd thing is that it seems to be out-of-print or only available on DVD. No streaming services seem to have it and the best I could do was…
It's a horror comedy twist on the body swapping classic Freaky Friday. Vince Vaughn plays a serial killer called the Blissfield Butcher who goes on a killing spree and accidentally changes bodies with a high school girl named Millie (Kathryn Newton) after stabbing her with a mystical dagger. The killer resumes killing as the teen girl, making it easier to hide from detectives. Millie,…

From the twisted mind of Rob Zombie comes this homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A group of four road trippers happen upon a homicidal "family" that does all sorts of grotesque stuff to their victims. It's very violent and bloody disgusting, but the plot is pretty boring and recycled. There just isn't much that is memorable or engaging. Aside from a couple little jump…
Written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, this classic horror anthology has some truly memorable scares. Stephen King played the simple-minded farmer Jordy Verrill who found a meteor that made everything sprout alien plant life. Leslie Nielsen showed up as a vindictive husband who became homicidal after finding out his wife was having an affair. Best of all was the monster…
In the middle of a hurricane in Florida, a girl goes searching for her father and gets a one way ticket to gator town. It's a race against time to escape both the coming storm and the hungry animals. It was a constant heart-pounding intense rollercoaster. I kept thinking it could have been really great if there weren't so many ridiculous parts. 90% of…
It's like invasion of the pod people with yogurt. The whole world has gone crazy for "The Stuff," a yogurt/ice cream food product that takes them over and makes them start acting strange. Mo is a former FBI guy who is investigating where The Stuff comes from and why it is becoming so popular all of a sudden. Jason is a kid who discovers…
