Ensemble offerings don’t get much goofier than with the blood-curdling highs and lows echoing out from deep within the thick woods of Black Holler! Summer camp is canceled! But not the camp used in this fun-filled throwback to just about everything we love about slashers from the ...

Misery (1990) - 4k UHD Blu-ray Review

1990’s Misery is one of the finest book to screen King adaptations of all time, in my humble opinion. While this new dearth of King adaptions continues unabated with varying degrees of success or abject failure (*cough: The Stand), no one has (as yet) touched it, or even broached remaking it ...

“The mob doesn’t think. It has a mind of its own.” In 1933, some loud-mouthed man with a tiny mustache and a weird haircut rose to power in the country of Germany. His name, I believe, was Adolf Hitler. You may have heard of him, no? Well, he established a dictatorship to replace ...

Songs My Brothers Taught Me (2015) - Blu-ray Review

It’s quite hard to believe that the writer/director of such a modest, coming-of-age tale like Songs My Brothers Taught Me is the same person who just delivered us Marvel’s latest installment, Eternals. Though undoubtedly Chloé Zhao’s style is ingrained in the blockbuster, it is just a difficult task ...

Ever heard of World War II’s Battle of the Schelde? No? How about the battle of the Walcheren Causeway? Probably not, right? Though both of these battles were preemptive components of the much larger Operation Market Garden to come later, the fact that virtually no one – save for the ...

Ah, yes, there WILL BE blood. There are no gothic vibes in this psychological ghost story. There are no haunted houses. No cemeteries either. Just the very human desire for revenge as one ghost, choosing to avenge those responsible for her death, takes life after life in the street-level poetry that ...

This is a conversation! No, this is a break-up . . . via pillow suffocation! Opening with a couple of dramatic break-ups and following those up with a movie where nothing is what it seems in the dating game, A Stalker in the House delivers much more than a home invasion horror flick as it follows the ...
