If there is one thing horror movies have taught me (and there are many, many things horror movies have taught me), it's to never be the last person inside anywhere. It's not necessarily about being the first person out, but definitely do enough cardio and be willing to trip folks so you're not the last. … Continue reading Last Shift (2014)
At the end of the last millennium, Dolph Lundgren acted in an action supernatural horror movie about the oncoming apocalypse. Surprisingly, this was done in 1998, the year before Arnold Schwarzenegger would release his own action supernatural horror movie End of Days. Of course, there are some similarities between the two, both involving fighting the forces … Continue reading The Minion (1998)
Who doesn't love a Halloween party? They're even better when hosted in an abandoned funeral home built on forsaken ground and haunted by a demon in the crematorium. Don't believe me? Then you gotta watch this movie! Night of the Demons is about just such a party. Ten teenagers show up to party down and … Continue reading Night of the Demons (1988)
While watching Ghoulies IV, I had a mental breakthrough: I believe I hate myself. Ghoulies IV is not a good movie. It's not even a good Ghoulies movie, and that's an incredibly low bar. The budget on this was so tiny, they couldn't even afford to bring back the Ghoulies puppets from previous films; the … Continue reading Ghoulies IV (1994)
Man, the '70s were weird. Exorcist II: The Heretic is not the most '70s film I've ever seen; that honor belongs to The Visitor. But this movie sure as hell is trying. I really am not sure what to make of it. It pretty much took the plot of The Exorcist and decided to give … Continue reading Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
Hey, two college horror movies back to back. Now how do you like that? It's weird how themes come up sometimes. They're also both terrible, which doesn't really make things any better. I can tell you right now, the title of this movie pretty much tells you what to expect, first in that the premise … Continue reading Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College (1991)
Does that poster look cool to you? Well too bad, the movie's nothing like that. I decided recently that I've been watching too many good movies, so I thought it would be best to watch something completely abhorrent, and man, did I succeed. Did I ever. Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders is ostensibly a children's … Continue reading Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders (1996)
The sequel to Ghoulies takes place in a carnival, though this time the actual ghoulies feel like way more of the focus instead of some undead Satanist magic crap. As a result, I ended up liking this movie a lot more than the original. The little demons run amok in a funhouse, they kill a … Continue reading Ghoulies II (1988)
A guy inherits a house from his Satanist parents, gets wrapped up in using their grimoires and magics to summon demons and make himself powerful, and then accidentally releases the spirit of his undead father who wants to kill him to make himself immortal or something. Oh, and there are parties, a bunch of friends, … Continue reading Ghoulies (1985)
Straight out of Ghana comes yet another action packed masterpiece: Ananse! Before we go any further, I should stress that there are roughly 80 languages spoken in Ghana, 11 of which are sponsored by the government. While English is one of these, this movie is not in English, and I don't speak any of the … Continue reading Ananse (2010)
