STREAM QUEEN: I’m getting afterimages of blood clots
When I see a theme for a blog forming in my streaming watchlist, I never anticipate being satisfied by all the selections, so I’m happy to say that horror anthologies Afterimages and Blood Clots were quite fun. Here’s a tastes … Continue reading
I had a case of the 28 day infection again
Before I reflect on revisiting the “28” saga, here’s my original take from years ago. I went to the theater to see 28 Days Later and hated it. In fact, just as with The Blair Witch Project, despite the massive … Continue reading
Beware the killers within the devil’s mile
Eureka! A double dose of streaming selections that revolve around kidnappings and deliver plenty of popcorn horror along the way. KILLERS WITHIN (2018) Unless you haven’t been paying attention to modern horror releases—or not reading my blogs about current movies—you’ll … Continue reading
30 years of Stepford wives, children, and husbands

STREAM QUEEN: I’m obsessed with the possessed and down with the demons
It’s a foursome of films about groups of people trapped in various buildings ripe with possession, demons, and the supernatural. So which of these four did I like the most? 5IVE MUST DIE (2017) In the tradition of a whole … Continue reading
Do you dare answer the crisis hotline?
The poster art for the gay film Crisis Hotline is a bit deceiving. Don’t expect to see any blood. Although I’m adding it to the homo horror movies page, this is more psychological thriller than horror movie, and any “bad … Continue reading
3 anthologies with terror in the title…
But is there TERROR in the tales? I take a look at Terror 5, Terror Tales, and Terror Telly. TERROR 5 (2016) Running only 76 minutes long, Terror 5 is sort of an anthology tied to an overarching story of … Continue reading
Exploring some familiar territory with 3 backwoods horror slashers
I was due for a good dose of satisfying slashers, and Scathing, Bride of Scarecrow, and Spiker definitely satisfied in a comfort food kind of way. SCATHING (2016) Since this one comes from the director of Halloween at Aunt … Continue reading
