Horror comedy starring Gary Busey and a cookie that looks like Gary Busey? I am IN! It’s a 70-minute movie, so even if it stinks the pain will be short-lived. How could this thing suck, though? There’s a Gary Busey cookie! (slaps table for emphasis) A GODDAMNED GARY BUSEY COOKIE!! It’s a shame that they…
An awkward and nervous FBI lady has ESP and uses it to find a killer, a whole big deal is made about it for maybe 15 or 20 minutes and then the filmmaker forgot to incorporate her magical superpowers into the rest of the movie. She is now on the hunt for a weird Nick…
Sorgoi Prakov is a Russianish (I say “ish” because he’s actually from Sdorvia, a country between Russia and Belarus. Go ahead, find that on a map) journalist who travels to France (a real country, you can find that one on a map pretty easily) with a camera and microphone strapped to his head, because that’s…
It’s an 88-minute mocumentary done in the style of a TV documentary, about the grieving family of a dead teenager come back to haunt them. The Positive: It’s well-made, the characters and acting is all convincing and authentic, and you’re able to suspend disbelief and feel as though you are watching a documentary of a…
…not to be confused with “Grotesque” the 2009 Japanese torture-porn movie. This is a different terrible movie. This is “Grotesque the 2022 Canadian indie horror about a likeable girl with a gigantic nose who has friends that love her and while she’s capable of fixing her freaky nose and getting a different job with fewer…
Going into this blind, which can go so wrong in horror, because there is so much bad horror out there. This is a found-footage style too, which is even more risky because anybody can make one of these. You just need a couple of friends and a cell phone to make one of these. The…
New York yuppie breaks up with his fiance, so he becomes gym-rat Jenkins and dates his boss after some marathon mirror-flexing. Hot stuff! He bumps into an old friend from out if town and is wicked psyched about it. They would have a great bro-mance thing going if the outa-town friend wasn’t an intergalactic warrior…
A community of forest rednecks worship a hole in the ground, filled with magic dirt that they use to make magic whiskey jugs that look like villagers that the ditch god wants to eat. In the bottom of this hole is some muddy water that tells them what else they gotta do. It’s folk horror…
I had the opportunity to see Damien Leone, writer and director of the Terrifier franchise at a recent horror con here in Richmond… “cons,” for those unenlightened, are temporary pop-up specialty shopping malls where you go shopping in costume. Festivals are places where you dress up and go shopping but there is a modicum of…
A Rob Zombie horror movie, you know what that means… dirty people in cowboy hats, lots of blood, grainy desaturated color, his wife in every scene, and way too much dialog that doesn’t say a goddamned thing. All his movies pretty much look the same. “Rock n Roll Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” “Tattoo Parlor Chic.” “The…
