IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 6: a little bit of everything
This batch of slashers from the decade following the success of Scream has it all: meta teen slasher fun, backwoods horror, and a touch of torture porn to round things out. CHERRY FALLS (2000) Despite some really juicy footage being … Continue reading
IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 4: wrong turns….
The resurgence of slashers following Scream needed to break the teen horror mold somehow, so it began turning to the old Texas Chainsaw backwoods formula, which was often a convenient way to also work in the growing trend of torture … Continue reading
Lumberjack Man – would you like some flesh flaps with those flapjacks?
I had no expectations going into Lumberjack Man, figuring it was going to be another awful slasher only worthy of the SyFy Channel. After catching it on cable, I’ve put it at the top of my “to buy” list. At … Continue reading

It’s a total coincidence that I watched this handful of movies—which have some common characteristics—one after the other. Conveniently, it makes it easy to toss them all into one blog about two psycho stalkers, two psycho families, and two movies … Continue reading

Stream Queen 7
What better way to start off the New Year than with a bunch of disappointing movies? Here’s a trio I watched, including found footage, a backwoods slasher, and a—well, I don’t know what. Let’s get right to it. GRADUATION DAY … Continue reading
Stream Queen 5: a mish mosh of subgenres
When you’ve streamed every other horror movie out there, are any of these four worth a watch? I take a look. CROWSNEST (2012) Another one to throw on the “everything that’s wrong with found footage horror” pile. Therefore, I shall … Continue reading
