Bad Moon (1996)

I do like a good werewolf movie. Unfortunately despite the pedigree of Eric Red, writer of such greats as The Hitcher and Near Dark, this isn't a good werewolf movie. In this film, a journalist named Ted runs afoul of a giant wolf man while hanging out in Nepal, which murders his girlfriend and claws … Continue reading Bad Moon (1996) →

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)

Here we go, another contender for the title of Worst Film Ever Made. Unlike the movie Mac & Me, which is a shameless means to advertise to kids by ripping off a good movie but still features some redeemable performances, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie actually earns its place on the shortlist. Who knew basing … Continue reading The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) →

La chute de la maison Usher (1928)

La chute de la maison Usher is a French silent film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Fall of the House of Usher. It's been years since I read the story, and of the film adaptations, the one I'm most familiar with is the Roger Corman production House of Usher, starring Vincent Price. … Continue reading La chute de la maison Usher (1928) →

Mac and Me (1988)

Oh boy, here we go. We are looking unto the mountain. Behold, a contender for WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! Or not. Yeah, Mac and Me happens to be one of those titles tossed around as perhaps the greatest travesty in the history of film. It gets mentioned in the same sentence as Plan 9 from … Continue reading Mac and Me (1988) →

The first day is setup, with the coming of the Carter family to the desert, the … Continue reading The Hills Have Eyes (1977) →

Spider Baby (1967)

This movie is creepy and weird. There's really not much of the whole Lolita thing going, despite what the film poster says. Instead, this movie is about a family suffering from a disease that causes mental degeneration to the point they become animalistic. A chauffeur, played by Lon Chaney, takes care of three kids (and … Continue reading Spider Baby (1967) →

You’re Next (2011)

I think I'm in love with Erin, the female lead. It was in the basement where I realized it, as she reduced what was once a human head to a pile of pulp using only a log and her critical thinking skills that I paused the film and actually told a friend "I'm in love … Continue reading You’re Next (2011) →
