BOUGHT ON BLU: a psycho killer, aliens, and a silly sequel
I bought one because it’s a sequel to an 80s flick, one because it was the only flick I still needed starring Bruce Campbell, and one because it stars Traci Lords, Ricki Lake, and Ted Raimi. So were they worth … Continue reading

With a special appearance by Danny Trejo…
Inevitably, horror king Danny Trejo will occasionally pop up in movies in my watchlist. He might have top billing, he might be featured front and center in the poster art. And yet…he will barely be in the movie. So, why … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: sharks, demons, and werewolves
I jumped around streaming services for my latest triple feature, which was comprised of films that brought me into familiar territory. MANEATER (2022) With SyFy now a lost cause that simply shows the same movies over and over again, finding … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN: all kinds of hungry creatures and killers
It’s sharks, werewolves, killer comedians, and crazy rednecks in this foursome of flicks I checked out over the weekend. WEREWOLF CABAL (2022) This 110-minute indie horror comedy doesn’t offer enough comedy or plot to warrant the runtime. While the werewolf … Continue reading
