HubrisWeen!

When bad things happen, sometimes they just never stop happening. Such is the case in the J-Horror classic Ju-On: The Grudge (2002).

Things take a dark turn in small-town America, when a lot of patients start reporting that their loved ones aren’t who they used to be. Either there’s a rash of Capgras syndrome or it’s the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

Free of her time loop from the previous movie, Tree falls into another loop for the same day but in a different universe. Everything is familiar but not reliably the same in Happy Death Day 2U (2019).

An evil capitalist convinces an expert to undertake one more mission for him to rescue one of her loved ones who’d been looking for a fabled city. It’s like Congo, but instead of apes the Guardians of the Tomb (2018) are funnel-web spiders.

Eric Binford loves movies, especially old black and white films. When life doesn’t go his way, he tends to see red followed by a Fade to Black (1980).

The Starlight Hotel may not have the best accommodations, but it does have some caged animals to stare at. Just stay out of the water, or you might be Eaten Alive (1976).

John Barrymore pitches for the upper balcony crowd in one of 1920s surviving versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920).

Insects... women... it’s all the same to The Collector (1965), and he cares just as much about them.

Members of an in-patient therapy group are picked off one by one in a nightmarish fashion. It’s not the work of Freddy–just Bad Dreams (1988).

We start off this HubrisWeen with a handsome devil offering a win for the good guys, in return for future favors. It’s a charmingly sinister role for Ray Milland, Alias Nick Beal (1949).
