THE END OF OAK STREET MOVIE REVIEW Is it odd that director David Robert Mitchell, rightfully celebrated for his films The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010) and It Follows (2014) hasn’t made a film since his severely underrated 2018 film Under The Silver Lake? Yes. Is it even weirder that when you look at […]

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE MOVIE REVIEW It’s 28 years after the 28 weeks after the 28 days later and The Bone Temple picks up right where 2025’s 28 Years Later left off, making it the first direct sequel in this franchise of post-apocalyptic ‘infected’ horror films.

In 2019 director Alex Parkinson released a documentary about the incident. In 2022, he got Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, and Finn Cole to […]

WOLF MAN MOVIE REVIEW The early excitement over the new Wolf Man movie had less to do with there being a new reboot of the Universal classic monster, The Wolf Man, and more with the writer/director Leigh Whannell. As a writer he created the Saw and Insidious franchises with James Wan. As a director, he […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: THE KISS Get ready to lose your head over an escalator! Alan Galinsky joins us for a movie that can’t decide if it’s about voodoo, parasites, or vaguely European lesbian incest. Come for the rubber cat puppet and stay for the most shocking “Recycling” segment we’ve ever had. We watched 1988’s […]

Smile 2 Movie Review The saying “a smile is worth a thousand words” doesn’t even begin to describe the horror in Parker Finn’s sequel to his 2022 hit Smile. Smile 2 takes place 6 days after where the last film left us and we’re following the lone survivor of the Smile entity, Joel (Kyle Gallner). […]
