Baddie – Hollywood adaptations. Lesson – Stick to the book. Hoooo boy. I have watched a lot of mediocre fantasy movies in my day. And sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised by them. Other times they end up being a snooze fest. Rarely, however, do I leave a movie theater filled with ire. Such is the case with The…
Baddie – Possession, I guess. Lesson – Alzheimer’s is pretty scary, but Alzheimer’s + Demon is scarier. I’ve been disappointed with possession movies for a long time. The Conjuring, for example, popular with many, failed to capture my attention after a promising first half. The Quiet Ones was super disappointing. The Taking of Deborah Logan has been making noise…
Baddie – Pesky nazi zombies. Lesson – Fight zombies with zombies. I’ll admit, Dead Snow 2 was supposed to be my Christmas movie, but instead of watching it I was busy having my appendix removed, so I lived my own private zombie movie in a sanitary controlled surgical environment instead of watching it in a timely fashion.…
Baddie – The thing in your closet tho. Lesson – Let it gooooo let it goooooo can’t hold it back any moreeee. The Babadook is lauded as one of the best (maybe the best) horror movie in the last few years. It’s received tons of hype and positive reception in the last few months as it plods…
Baddie – Spooky spectre-producing caves. Lesson – Can’t stab a ghost.. In my quest to watch every shark movie, I have to watch “Ghost Shark”. Yay me. The movie begins with a fisherman and his wife attempting to catch a fish for a contest. A shark eats the fish. The couple is distasteful and irritating, I…
Baddie – Ebola scare. Lesson – Horror origin stories are -hard-, you guys. The first Cabin Fever, while not a horrendously scary movie in my opinion, goes down as having one of the creepiest scenes in it as far as I’m concerned. Shaving one’s legs and having your skin come off is possibly the most terrifying thing ever,…
Baddie – Extreme living situations. Lesson – Just because you -can- live somewhere doesn’t mean you -should-. TODAY IS HALLOWEEN. I, for one, will be celebrating by attending an illustrious showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at a one Alamo Drafthouse – what will you be doing? Sadly, this is the last vampire themed movie…
