Welcome to Day 1 of OkGoreberfest’s month of horror! As you may or may not know, the focal mission of this website happens during the month of “October” (you may know it as “Spooky Season”… or at least that’s what the local news outlets keep calling it). This month we’re going to change up the…
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Oh, is this something we’ve been needing? A Netflix addition to one of the most legendary horror movies, so legendary they made nine movies out of it just to see if they can ring a little more money out of it. Three of these movies are titled “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” without a number attached…
Live Animals (2008)
On the positive, this little number has that grimy retro grindhousey feel without feeling like it came out of a box of Tarantino-inspired ready-made video filters. The downside is that it’s a fairly rotten movie. Not worthless, mind you. Of all the shitty horror movies I’ve seen this isn’t the worst offender, it has a…
Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
A house full of people is murdered to death and police find a partially-buried non-decomposed naked chick in the basement. First boob of the movie! Make sure that if you’re watching this at work you’re sitting with the screen obscured from the watchful eyes of your boss’s Big Brother style surveillance cameras. There will be…
Red Room (2017)
It’s an Irish-made torture-porn movie about three women who get abducted off the streets and brought into a secluded, shitty house to be victimized in a “Red Room.” For those unaware, a Red Room is an internet-born urban myth about a room broadcasting actual snuff to a bunch of people on the Dark Web who…
Pearl (2022)
I have yet to see “X,” for which “Pearl” is the prequel, so I’m going into it blind. Ti West movie, produced by A24, so I have high hopes. I’m putting the bar up -here- (indicates with hands). It begins all kinds of retro, Wizard of Ozzy (not a Black Sabbath album title, btw) typeface…
Apostle (2015)
Capsule Review… Escaped convicts colonize an island and form a religion because they don’t want to pay taxes. But, of course, they still like money so they kidnap a rich girl and hold her ransom. Her brother goes to rescue her and discovers the island’s unorthodox gardening practices. It’s a brain-scooping good time! Folk horror!…
All Hallows Eve (2013)
Capsule Review… It’s another terribly retroriffic “Hey where did this ominous videotape come from? Who cares let’s watch it!” movie full of gum-chewing Satans, wiggly space monsters, babysitters in peril, and Art the scary clown. That’s the memorable bit, the pilot introduction of Art the Clown. He’s the fucked-up Freddie Krueger of the 2020’s, you’ve…
#Alive (2020)
Capsule Review… #Alive is a Korean movie about the outbreak of a deadly disease that (you’ll never guess…) makes people all zombied-up and hungry for human flesh, and the survivors are all stuck in their tiny apartments with rapidly-depleting supplies and no one to save them. Production started in early 2019, wrapped up in December……
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Capsule Review… A crowdsource-funded Persian American Western Vampire movie…right, so it’s Persian, but it was made in Southern California, so it’s Persiafornian because I think that’s a thing. Also, it’s a Vampire movie, and somehow also a western. Oh, it’s also shot in B&W, so you know it’s just wicked artsy! Arash is a good…
