Do We Like Movies?

This 5th film in the Paranormal Activity franchise went in the most interesting direction an established horror franchise has ever gone to.

We ditch the suburbs for a Chicano neighborhood in Oxnard, CA where Jesse Arista and his best friend Hector Estrella use the GoPro camera Jesse got for his High School graduation to chronicle Jesse's possession by a familiar demonic presence.

This week we take a first dive into Italian horror with this 1985 classic directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by the great Dario Argento. This movie revolves around a group of people who have all been given free tickets to the screening of a mysterious horror movie. What they don't realize is that the movie they are watching, and subsequently the theater they are in are about to be overrun by a hoard of Demons. 

This week we reviewed the 1994 cult film about a teen cheerleader (Denise Richards) who's boyfriend (Paul Walker) is killed and then re-animated as an animatronic T-Rex. Yes that is the plot of this movie. From the director of Mac & Me. ENJOY! (Someone has to)

This week we cover Roman Polanski's 1968 occult horror film that revolves around a young New York woman who has been selected to carry the son of Satan by an insidious coven. 

Following the #OscarsSoWhite backlash that the Academy recieved after snubbing black actors and filmmakers in 2015, we demanded more diversity in film. In 2016, director Barry Jenkins responded by giving us a beautiful, and sobering look at the coming of age of Chiron, a young gay black man from Florida who has to deal with being the target of constant bullying in his hyper-masculine neighborhood, his father figure in the form of local drug dealer Juan, as well as his mother's battles with addiction. The film, based on the book "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue", chronicles his life in three segments where he is played by three different actors.
