/horror runs to the theater for ‘Dark Harvest’ (2023)
My favorite thing about Dark Harvest is how masterfully Slade uses chiaroscuro. It’s evident in 30 Days of Night as well as his “‘Hannibal” episodes, but the man is just really really good at it.
/horror is stranded with Blake Lively in “The Shallows” (2016)
Baddie: One large, bitter shark. Lesson: Surfing can be dangerous if you let it be? If you’ve followed Rooster Illusion and /horror [SciFridays] for a while, you’ll know I like shark movies. I’m tempted to say the last theatrical shark movie release was Shark Night? (Internet, help?) In 2011. Needless to say, I’ve been waiting,…
/horror gets “Cabin Fever” (2002 & 2016)
Baddie: Probably the flesh eating virus. Lesson: Never ignore the creepy locals. If you’ve been reading /horror [SciFridays], you may know how I feel about Eli Roth. Hint: The feeling is not warm fuzzies. However, when a director has the gall to remake his own campy horror movie not even fifteen years later as a…
/horror gets swampy with “Hatchet” (2006)
Baddie: Swamps! Never trust one. Lesson: That tour is probably as cheap as it looks. A few weeks ago I watched the disappointing Digging Up The Marrow directed by horror cult pseudo-legend Adam Green who is probably most famous for his Hatchet series, so I finally decided to check it out. It’s a no-holds barred sort of movie, launching in…
/horror gets ready for “Audition”/”Odishon” (1999)
Baddie: It’s always the quiet ones, amIright? Lesson: Have a long engagement. I spent a lot of time preparing myself for Audition because it has…a reputation. Regardless, I am ready. The film opens immediately with heartbreak as a boy brings his very very sick mother presents in the hospital. “Get well soon Mom” reads the card. He arrives as…
/horror lives with “Cronos” (1993)
Baddie: Alchemist Law Lesson: Everything has a price. Guys, I love Guillermo del Toro and I love Ron Perlman, so you can imagine my delight when I discovered there was a movie made in the 90’s, by del Toro, starring Ron Perlman. This film is also del Toro’s feature film debut! What a great day. (As you…
/horror is creeped out by “The Mist” (2007)
Pet Sematary | It | Children of the Corn | The Mist Baddie: Human hubris. Lesson: If at first you don’t succeed, have Frank Darabont write the movie adaptation. Sad though it is, Shame September must once again come to an end. I saved The Mist for last, because it has the most hype as being a…
