THE TOXIC AVENGER MOVIE REVIEW The janitor becomes the hero, the mop becomes the weapon, and the toxic sludge becomes… well, a makeover. The Toxic Avenger returns in a reimagined reboot of the cult classic, telling the story of Winston (Peter Dinklage), an everyman who finds himself transformed into a grotesque but oddly noble vigilante […]

THE MONKEY MOVIE REVIEW Director/writer Osgood Perkins is on a roll. Not long after making the horror movie everyone was talking about (good or bad) Longlegs, Perkins is back already with an adaptation of the Stephen King story The Monkey, but this time he’s playing with splatstick comedy-horror. Theo James plays twin brothers Hal and […]

Y2K MOVIE REVIEW Some of us are old enough to remember New Year’s Eve as we went from 1999-2000. There was a big scare dubbed Y2K that was about fears that all computerized devices were going to shut down (or something) because their internalized clocks were not set up to deal with that calendar change.

GET AWAY MOVIE REVIEW Boring families go on vacations to well known attractions surrounded by fellow tourists and the safety of park security. An adventurous family, like Richard (Nick Frost), Susan (Aisling Bea), Sam (Sebastian Croft), and Jessie (Maisie Ayres), prefer something a little more off the beaten path. They take a vacation to a […]

TRIZOMBIE MOVIE REVIEW In another ‘probably only at Fantastic Fest’ movie, one of the few zombie entries this year was the Belgian film Trizombie. In most ways this is a traditional zombie story with a group of survivors who must make a trek across zombie infested areas in order to reach their goal. The difference […]

DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY MOVIE REVIEW It’s odd to describe a film with as much gore and supernatural scary stuff in it as Dead Talents Society as ‘delightful’ and even ‘heartwarming’, but here we are. It’s the sort of thing that can happen at Fantastic Fest. This Taiwanese film takes place on Earth, but from the […]

ABIGAIL MOVIE REVIEW Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have directed several films together, often referring to themselves and their team of collaborators as Radio Silence. Having hit the ground running with arguably the best segment in the original V/H/S “10/31/98”, they went out to become a big hit with 2019’s Ready or Not and then […]

LISA FRANKENSTEIN MOVIE REVIEW Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton) has a problem. It’s not that she’s had trouble fitting in with others at school. She prefers the company of the dead, at least as far as hanging out in an old abandoned cemetery in the woods and talking to one grave in particular as her confidant. […]

DESTROY ALL NEIGHBORS MOVIE REVIEW Welcome to January, or as the industry likes to call it “dump month.” Basically this time of year, studios release their lower budget fair that may not do well during Summer or Holidays, but hey… studio needs to make some money back, or leave it to die so it can […]

THANKSGIVING MOVIE REVIEW It’s been 16 years since the fake trailer for this film appeared in the movie Grindhouse, but Eli Roth finally got around to making it. Your reviewers, Chris, Drew, Mike, and Nathan, are glad he did. The story takes place in Plymouth Massachusetts where it’s been a year since a Black Friday […]
