Movie Review – Crawl
—
Due to a terrible mistake made by myself on opening night, I had to go back today and watch Crawl all over again. It didn’t get any better the second time around. I have lived in Florida for a number of years now and can empathize with the two characters in this movie. Yes, hurricanes…

First-View Movie Review – 47 Meters Down (2017)
47 Meters Down is a surprisingly decent shark movie. And it’s not even that scary – the horror level was low (and I’m a horror scaredy-cat, so trust me). What 47 Meters Down had going for it was a unique shark premise, and a gripping survival element. While the girls screamed a lot, both stepped…

Movie Review – Midsommar
—
Midsommer is a mind blower. It starts slow but it picks up steam — and not just a little steam, but a lot. It is probably one of the most explicit movies I’ve ever watched. I went in expecting not to like it, because it seems I’ve hated every A24 production I’ve ever seen. They…

The Conjuring Universe Explained
With 2 mainline movies and 5 spin-off movies filling out the Conjuring Universe, no one would blame you for getting lost in Annabelle’s eyes… I mean getting lost in slight confusion. Obviously there are spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t seen these movies, then read at your own risk. But either way, we are going…

Movie Review – Annabelle Comes Home
I enjoyed Annabelle enough to garner a solid B+. I was hoping for a perfect A, but wasn’t blown away. It’s a good movie. There were several times I had chill bumps over my entire body and the audience seemed to share my feelings. I heard a bunch of screams and I was lucky enough…

Movie Review – Child’s Play
Child’s Play was creepily funny. There was an even mix of horror and humor which kept the pacing at full force. I’m halfway in love with the movie. I liked how they stayed away from the original’s back story. Here it’s no psychotic killer transferred into the doll through voodoo magic. Instead, they use today’s…

Ranking the Chucky Movies – From a True Horror Fan
—
Have you ever watched all 7 Chucky movies, ranked them, and wrote an article with them ranked all within 24 hours? No? Good, because I already did that and I don’t know why you’d be here if you did. Either way, with the new Chucky movie coming out June 21st let me tell you which…

Movie Review – The Dead Don’t Die
Dead Don’t Die as super low budget movie is somewhat cute, but nothing really good. Don’t see it in the theaters: its a good one to wait for streaming. Save your theater money now for the better movies. There was one cool idea — zombies are attracted to what interested them most while alive.…

Newie Review – The Reef – Low Budget, Decent, Non Campy Shark Movie
This 2010 Aussie shark film should be fairly simple to review, as nothing much happened besides a lot of open ocean swimming. If you’re frightened easily and don’t like horror, don’t worry: you won’t have much trouble watching The Reef. It’s not that kind of movie. I’m not entirely clear what kind of movie this…

Movie Review – Ma – Octavia Spencer in a Creepy Horror Thriller
—
If Ma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy! Is that how the saying goes? If not, that’s how it played out in this horror-thriller. I just watched Ma, starring the beloved Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer. This isn’t a scary movie per se, but it is extremely creepy; Octavia, of course, nails the role perfectly. I didn’t…
