The reason bad comedies are painful is because they are not funny or frightening. THE WEEDHACKER MASSACRE is a comedy about a bad horror movie remake, based on an actual (within the […]Read On »

Movie Review: A HARD PLACE

A HARD PLACE | ©2025 50 Caliber Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Felissa Rose, Lynn Lowry, Rachel Amanda Bryant, Kevin Caliber, Jennifer Stone, Ashley Undercuffler, Scott Alan Ward, Miranda Bourke, Steven Morris, Natalia Santacoloma, Holly Rockwell, Sadie Katz Writers: Michael J. Preston & J. Horton Director: J. Horton Distributor: 50 Caliber Productions Release Date: May 27, 2025 (VOD) Once upon a time, there were movie theatres that resembled blind grab bags. We knew very broadly going in whether something was horror or action or sexploitation, but mostly, we’d never heard of the specific films playing before we saw the posters in the marquees. The movies were usually made […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Kate Noel, Sebastian Betancur, Skyy Perdomo, Sarah Silverson, Jayden Stith, Michael Sullivan, Lamarr Mattison, Nathan Cuevas, Spencer Frankenberger, Liz Cuevas, Adam Arabshahi, Tanya Champoux, Breck Cuddy Writer: Terence Bernie Hines Director: Terence Bernie Hines Distributor: One Tree Entertainment Release Date: May 20, 2025 (digital, VOD) It’s hard to know quite what to make of MAULER. The low-budget horror comedy is self-referential enough to name-check most of its cinematic influences, but it seldom gets either really funny or scary. On the plus side, writer/director Terence Bernie Hines keeps things genuinely unpredictable, with a couple of actual surprises. […]Read On »

Movie Review: GET AWAY

GET AWAY movie poster | ©2025 IFC

Rating: R Stars: Nick Frost, Aisling Bea, Sebastian Croft, Maisie Ayres, Ville Vertanen, Eero Milonoff, Anitta Suikkari, Jouko Ahola, Verneri Lilja, Ilkka Koivula Writer: Nick Frost Director: Steffen Haars Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: December 6, 2024 (theatrical); January 10, 2024 (Shudder) It’s easy to see how GET AWAY is supposed to work. It starts out as a parody of THE WICKER MAN/MIDSOMMAR type of folk horror, with a big twist at the two-thirds mark. It looks great, has the pedigree of SHAUN OF THE DEAD costar/PAUL cowriter/costar Nick Frost as star and writer, and plenty of mileage in its […]Read On »

DEADSTREAM movie poster | ©2022 Shudder/Blue Finch Releasing

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Joseph Winter, Melanie Stone Writers: Joseph Winter & Vanessa Winter Directors: Joseph Winter & Vanessa Winter Distributor: Shudder/Blue Finch Releasing Release Date: October 6, 2022 Shawn Ruddy (Joseph Winter, who also wrote and directed DEADSTREAM with Vanessa Winter) has low self-esteem and is a self-professed wuss. He’s facing all of his biggest fears (being picked up by a garbage truck in a trash can, being chased by cops) and streaming the incidents online on his “Wrath of Shawn” show. When one stunt backfires, though, Shawn loses his sponsors and platforms. After a six-month digital exile, he […]Read On »

Movie Review: LET THE WRONG ONE IN

LET THE WRONG ONE IN poster | ©2022 Dark Sky Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Karl Rice, Eoin Duffy, Hilda Fay, David Pearse, Mary Murray, Anthony Head, Lisa Haskins Writer: Conor McMahon Director: Conor McMahon Distributor: Dark Sky Films Release Date: April 1, 2022 LET THE WRONG ONE IN is a vampire movie, though not, as its title might suggest, a direct parody of the 2008 Swedish film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, and/or its 2010 American remake, LET ME IN. In fact, LET THE WRONG ONE IN begins Hammer Horror-style, with lightning crackling around a castle, menacing orchestral music, and the title in dripping red letters. But no, this isn’t […]Read On »

BOYS FROM COUNTY HELL movie poster | ©2021 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jack Rowan, Nigel O’Neill, Louisa Harland, Michael Hough, Fra Fee, Robert Nairne, Andrea Irvine, Morgan C. Jones, David Pearse, John Lynch Writer: Chris Baugh, story by Chris Baugh & Brendan Mullin Director: Chris Baugh Distributor: Shudder Release Date: April 22, 2021 BOYS FROM COUNTY HELL is a Northern Irish horror/comedy. It seeks to emulate AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (there’s even a dialogue reference, along with a whole sequence that’s fairly similar) or SHAUN OF THE DEAD. We’re in the picturesque small town of Six Mile Hill. It’s nighttime. An older couple is watching television, when […]Read On »

Movie Review: READY OR NOT

READY OR NOT movie poster | ©2019 Fox Searchlight

Rating: R Stars: Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, Michael O’Brien, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell, Melanie Scrofano, Kristian Bruun, Nicky Guadagni, Elyse Levesque, John Ralston Writers: Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy Directors: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett Distributor: Fox Searchlight Release Date: August 21, 2019 READY OR NOT is at heart a riff on THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME. Unlike the abruptly pulled-from-release THE HUNT, though, it’s unlikely anybody is going to worry about READY OR NOT making some kind of political statement. Well, okay, the statement that kids generally accept whatever their families do as normal is arguably political, but most people […]Read On »
