Underwater is in theaters right now and I did not expect much, which left me pleasantly surprised when I didn’t have a bad time. As far as underwater spooks and adventure go, Underwater is unique enough to hold my attention, but it doesn’t pull off anything amazing. … [Read more...] about Underwater (Movie) Review

Best and Worst Horror Movies of 2019

So let's take a look at what we love and hated about the horror movies that we reviewed in 2019. … [Read more...] about Best and Worst Horror Movies of 2019
Backcountry (Movie) Review
We saw Backcountry on Netflix, and it is an effective enough one-trick pony. I laughed and cried, and sometimes it wasn’t ironic! … [Read more...] about Backcountry (Movie) Review
American Psycho Review
American Psycho is, without a doubt, one of my favorite movies of all time. This thriller is one of the most hilarious and disturbing tongue-in-cheek movies ever made. … [Read more...] about American Psycho Review

Joker is American Psycho with Reverse Antihero
It struck me as I was watching Joker, that this very unique movie is not as unique as it lets on. It’s almost a direct replica of American Psycho, the 2000 movie based on the 1991 Bret Easton Ellis novel of the same name by director Mary Harron. The big difference is that its antihero, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) starts from the bottom, with nothing, whereas Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) starts at the top with everything. Fair warning, if you haven’t seen Joker yet, there are some spoilers ahead, read at your discretion. If you haven’t seen American Psycho yet, it’s been 20 years, check it out on Amazon.

Their messages are even the same! Everyone is so obsessed with consumerism and whom they are fucking that they fail to grasp that they are part of society.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) Review
We saw Dawn of the Dead for free on Youtube because it’s available for free on youtube. This is a Patreon request, so if you want to have a say in what we review, join our Patreon and you will get to weigh in on what we review once a month. This movie is the classic sequel to Night of the Living Dead by George A. Romero that really upped the ante on the zombie concept, and shock factor of the time. … [Read more...] about Dawn of the Dead (1978) Review
Doctor Sleep Review
We saw an early screening of Doctor Sleep, and I was treated to what I believe to be the best horror blockbuster of the year. This is the movie that Brightburn told us it would be. A compelling superhero story with a horror twist. On top of all that high praise, I truly believe that this is a worthy spiritual successor to The Shining, which is one of my all-time favorite movies ever. Doctor Sleep is impressive, serious, and fun. … [Read more...] about Doctor Sleep Review
Zombieland: Double Tap Review
We went and saw Zombieland: Double Tap, and I was treated to a fabulous time! This franchise understands it’s audience and really ends up feeling like an excuse for famous actors to get together and have a blast making a movie - which, as it turns out, means a good time for everyone. … [Read more...] about Zombieland: Double Tap Review
Pumpkinhead Review
Pumpkinhead is one of the most straightforward and simple movies I think I have ever seen. You know that motif of, “made for TV movie” that movies like Tremors have? Pumpkinhead has that same feeling. While it does hold a place as a cult classic, that doesn't mean it's good. … [Read more...] about Pumpkinhead Review
