Round the Decay says it drew inspiration from horror movies like Pumpkinhead (1988) and Cube (1997). Interesting choices considering it also promises to deliver “a fresh take on the monster movie formula with roots extending into psychological and folk horror.” Will it? We’ll have to wait and see, and we’llContinue Reading
Vacation Friends was the first movie that came to mind when I watched the trailer for Speak No Evil. The pitfalls of what may happen when you befriend strangers on vacation inspired both. Except, where Vacation Friends used humor to highlight how that could go sideways, Speak No Evil honesContinue Reading
With the demise of Travel Channel, we sure don’t see the release of ghost-hunting shows like we used to, do we? (That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Some were getting pretty ridiculous.) However, in addition to Ghost Adventures, Discovery Channel is now the place to watch what once were otherContinue Reading
Historically, horror movies get a bad rap. Granted, some deserve it. (Just like any other substellar movie.) But horror movies usually have questionable plot lines that beg us to stretch our imaginations and abandon disbelief. Often that’s not done well. And just as often, the storyline isn’t the only thingContinue Reading
“Huh. So that’s what the real Wendy looks like,” I thought when I watched the trailer for Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer. At least, I was pretty sure Dr. Ann Burgess was who Wendy Carr was based on in the Netflix series Mindhunter. Wasn’t she? I thought I’d heard thatContinue Reading
The word “gripping” has been used to describe Lady in the Lake, the limited series that premieres on Apple TV+ on Friday, July 19. I’d say that description also applies to the trailer, along with “provocative,” “evocative,” “riveting,” “haunting,” and “shiver-inducing.” I experienced a “Wow. Just wow,” reaction after watchingContinue Reading
The Beast Within trailer has generated many comments, including my favorite from @TheAutumnWind_RN4L: “That’s all I wanted him to say in season 8 of GOT.” They were referring to a line near the 1:52 mark where Kit Harington roars, “Kneel before your king!” So many people (myself included) would’ve loved toContinue Reading
I’m late writing about this, so if you’re a diehard fan of the Prime Video series Fallout, you likely already know that you can “equip your vault” with awesome show merch from Amazon’s Fallout Store. We’re talking everything from collectibles and accessories to apparel and beverages. And of course games,Continue Reading
Do you remember the 1995 short documentary The Alien Autopsy? It purported to be found footage of an autopsy of one of the aliens from the Roswell incident. It created quite a stir at the time, largely influenced by the FOX Network, which aired Alien Autopsy: (Fact or Fiction?), aContinue Reading
“Kevin Bacon is even in it?” I thought when I watched the official trailer for MaXXXine, which dropped last week. Well, actually, my first thought was, “It’s finally coming out? Jeez. That was a painful wait.” Torturous, really, especially considering we were spoiled by X and Pearl, both of whichContinue Reading
If Longlegs is as creepy as its trailer, it may prove to be one of summer 2024’s creepiest movie offerings. According to Neon, “In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.” Emphasis onContinue Reading
When I started watching Bodkin, two questions nagged me. The first was, “Is Bodkin a real place?” The second was, “Is it really based on a true story involving a mysterious disappearance during Samhain?” Well, that’s not entirely accurate. The second question technically came first, but I was reminded ofContinue Reading
