Baddie – Convoluted horror plots. Lesson – Pick one thing. ONE. The Lazarus Effect had a lot of promise. A contemporary Frankenstein, or all the Lovecraftian implications of Re-animator. It has a stellar cast with American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters, Community‘s Donald Glover, the ethereal Olivia Wilde, and The Mindy Project‘s Mark Duplass. The methodology was solid.…
Baddie – Blind ambition Lesson – Hitchhiking is dangerous, and business is cruel. Australiaaaaa. I love you. I love you and your fantastic horror scene. I get so weirdly excited when the opening credits start and an Australian production company scrolls across. I had no idea that 100 Bloody Acres was Australian by the description, so instead…
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.…

Of all of the movies I shamefully have not watched, The Exorcist is the one I’ve seen the most of, just not consecutively. It’s one of the most referenced movies of all time, and it’s basically the definition of exorcism horror. To be…
Baddie – Teenagers not sleeping enough, probably. Lesson – This is the perfect 80s Horror. This month is sort of unofficially nicknamed Shameful September (I like theme months), where I’ll be watching classic horror films I, sigh, have not seen. Nightmare On Elm Street is one of them, despite going to college about twenty minutes…
Baddie – Rogue shark. Lesson – Sometimes, nature operates outside your control. Jaws | Jaws 2 | Jaws 3 | Jaws 4 A monstrous shark terrorizes the fictional Amity Island resort town, prompting a full-fledged hunt before the deaths start accruing. Hey guys, Shark Week stars Sunday! Get pumped! To celebrate, I’m reviewing all of the Jaws films. Jaws…
