HULU HORRORS: ghosts, bloodsuckers, and a home invasion
It’s a buffet of subgenres I picked from my Hulu watchlist, so let’s get right into them. GHOST TEAM (2016) This supposedly satirical comedy about ghost hunting shows succeeds in doing one thing—reminding us of how charismatic Justin Long is … Continue reading

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

SHUDDER AND SHRIEK: demons and other scary creatures
For a change, a triple feature of Shudder films didn’t turn out to be a trauma porn trio. What a relief. Even better, I liked most of them. THE LAIR (2022) The Lair comes from Neil Marshall, director of The … 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

BOUGHT ON BLU: three from the 90s
One feels like an end of the 80s slasher, the other two are silly sexploitation horror comedies. Are they as fun as they should be? DEAD GIRLS (1990) Dead Girls is so totally 80s it gets five stars for nostalgia … Continue reading

The holidays at the Amityville House?
Not exactly. I check out two short indies that cash-in on both the Amityville name and the holiday horror trend. Between these two and Amityville Cop, which takes place on New Year’s Eve, Amityville titles are popping up all over … Continue reading
