Let’s do another zombie movie, shall we? I really should have done this after Night of the Living Dead, seeing as how it’s an indirect sequel. Oh well. I didn’t love this movie immediately. Coming from Romero’s films, it’s a different kind of zombie movie. It has fun with the idea of zombies. They run. […]

Let’s cut to the chase: I was not looking forward to this season. While last season had some pretty good moments (“The Grove” was one of the best episodes of the series), it remains a frustratingly inconsistent show. So no, I wasn’t looking forward to the return of The Walking Dead. I had it in […]
That’s two depressing movies in a row. Let’s lighten things up a bit while still keeping it within the zombie family, yeah? To do while, we’ll go with Edgar Wright’s zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead. This movie is perfect. It’s not a parody of the genre, but a loving homage to it. The difference […]
I was talking about Lake Mungo with a friend of mine on Facebook, and she mentioned how sad that movie is. Like, soul-crushingly sad. We’re basically watching a documentary about a close-knit family who tragically lost a family member, and we see them deal with the loss in their own way. It’s a heartbreaking character […]
I saw this movie for the first time last night. My experience with the Afterdark Horrorfest series (AKA 8 Films to Die For) has been a mixed one. I’ve only seen a handful of them, but most of them could simply be described as mediocre. Some were slightly better or slightly worse, but they all […]
Description from Netflix: While cataloging old footage, a film archivist finds a reel showing his family’s home – once the scene of some gory slayings. As he digs into the details of the killings, his wife is murdered, making him suspect an evil force inhabits his house. My thoughts: I was lucky enough to get […]

31 Days of Horror Day 9: Psycho
You know what’s scarier than monsters? The murderer next door. With Psycho‘s arrival in 1960 (Night of the Living Dead‘s in 1968), it was clear that the threats weren’t all coming from overseas: they were in our backyard all along. Sure, the stranger from Transylvania seemed menacing, but the nervous, down-on-his luck momma’s boy behind […]
Yesterday got a little dark, didn’t it? With me all talking about the stresses of work and the hacking of limbs and whatnot? Apologies. Apologies all around. To counter the darkness of yesterday, today we’re watching the 80s classic The Monster Squad. I still run into people in my everyday life who have never seen […]
Listen guys. It has been a rough couple of weeks at work. Things are changing around, and it’s just been really stressful. I’m sure it’ll clear up at some point, but who knows when. Some days all I can think of is this quote from Groundhog Day: “It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, […]
We find ourselves at the end of the season. It took 13 episodes, but I’m now finally coming around to the sight of Corey Stoll with hair. This season showed us a show with promise, but was ultimately unfulfilling. It had some flashes of greatness, but mostly it was maddeningly inconsistent. It went to the […]
