SciFridays: “Maniac” (1980)

Baddie: Mommy issues, as per usual. Lesson: He told you not to go out. As you’ll recall, I tackled the remake of this film, starring one Elijah Wood, a few weeks ago. I haven’t reviewed an honest to goodness slasher movie in a while, so I thought I’d also give the original a go. I’m also usually…

Scifridays: “Self/Less” (2015)

Baddie: Cancer! Lesson: People are friends, not science experiments. Remember that time I said I was going to review shark movies all month? Yeah, well, I lied, because the new Tarsem Singh movie came out and my loyalties split. Repeat readers know that my favorite movie of all time is The Fall, a Singh movie. His other endeavors…

Scifridays: “Shark Attack” (1999)

Baddie: Cancer! Lesson: Sharks are friends, not science experiments. It’s the most wonderful timeeeee of the year. AKA Shark Week, Discovery Channel’s increasingly-full-of-crap week about sharks. What started as a week of education and interesting info has become somewhat of a low-budget schlock fest with some shark facts thrown in. I’m hoping we don’t have to suffer…

SciFridays: “Maniac” (2012)

Baddie: Mommy issues. Lesson: Carry mace.  It’s always interesting to discover little tidbits about some of the actors in Hollywood. For example, Elijah Wood loves horror movies so much he made his own production company, SpectreVision (formally The Woodshed). We know them best at Rooster Illusion for A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, the kickoff post for…

SciFridays: “Digging Up The Marrow” (2014)

Baddie: Meddling non-mutants, I guess? Lesson: Turn off the light! I first saw a trailer for Digging Up The Marrow when I saw It Follows. I was immediately intrigued. Posed as a mockumentary of sorts, Digging follows director Adam Green into an adventure best described as ‘monsters are real oh god.’ The movie opens with a series of interviews featuring…

Scifridays: Pontypool (2008)

Baddie – Talking.  Lesson – Seriously, shut up.  After weeks of a time-related hiatus, Scifridays is back! Okay, technically I came back last week with my brand new column Thrillhers, where I’ll be taking a look at female-directed/written horror movies, something I’ve been wanting to explore further for a while now. But not this week, no,…

SciFridays: “Psycho Shark” (2009)

Baddie – Misleading titles. Lesson – Vacations are dangerous I guess? Well, in a vain attempt to be a little more legitimate, I haven’t reviewed a shark movie in a long time. There’s also been kind of a lack of shark movies in general, which is kind of a shame. Then Psycho Shark swam along into my…
