CRIMSON PEAK (2015) REVIEW

 No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get into this one. Del Toro seems to be such a hit or miss director for me and this is one of his misses.

1.5 out of 5 STARS.

THE GLIMMER MAN (1996) REVIEW

 I enjoy dumb films but this film is a dumb movie that thinks it's smart. Steven Seagal plays one of the most unconvincing street smart tough guys that's too cool for school I've ever seen and Keenan Wayans plays the token black guy that's only there to crack unfunny jokes that make you groan more than chuckle. Feels like it wants to be this big blockbuster but falls flat on its face. Would have gotten a lower score but again I'm a sucker for bad films.

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD (2007) REVIEW

 Two brothers make a choice that destroy their lives and many others. The film builds up and up to a devastating conclusion. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke have fantastic chemistry. Definitely recommend it.

4 out of 5 STARS.

BLOOD CREEK (2009) REVIEW

 This film is a guilty pleasure of mine.

3 out of 5 STARS.

MANIAC (1980) REVIEW

 A special effects masterclass from the legendary Tom Savini. Joe Spinell is fantastic in the lead role

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

CRIME 101 (2026) REVIEW

 An intense slow burn thriller.

4 out of 5 STARS.

TAXIDERMIA (2006) REVIEW

 This film provokes you from the very beginning, its uncomfortable and at times downright grotesque, the goal of this film is to make you turn it off but the further i dove the more i couldn't look away. Under the filth there is a really unique story here, now this film is an experience and not a necessarily good one but its another film worth watching at least once. 

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

FAST FOOD NATION (2006) REVIEW

I knew nothing about this film before going into it and I found it to be an interesting drama. Worth watching at least once.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

RAMBO (2008) REVIEW

 A fun if somewhat forgettable action flick.

3 out of 5 STARS.

THANKSGIVING (2023) REVIEW

 A brain dead dumb fun slasher flick that no one in their right mind would take seriously and that's what makes it as entertaining as it is.

4 out of 5 STARS.

PRIMATE (2025) REVIEW

Essentially monkey Cujo, this was an over the top gorefest which was everything I wanted it to be and more.

4.5 out of 5 STARS.

 

SLICE (2018) REVIEW

 A low budget horror comedy that may be a new addition to my Halloween season rotation.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY (2007) REVIEW

A hilarious take on the biopic genre.

4 out of 5 STARS.

THE NIGHTSHIFTER (2018) REVIEW

 A unique film with an original premise, it just didn't pull me in as much as I was hoping. Would love to see this film get an english language remake.

3 out of 5 STARS.

THE COLLECTOR (2009) REVIEW

 As far as the torture porn horror subgenre goes, you could do a lot worse than this wannabe saw spinoff.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

ELEPHANT (2003) REVIEW

 Scattered stories intertwine in this gripping tale of gun violence. This film is uncomfortable but necessary.

4 out of 5 STARS.
