The first quarter of the year was disappointing for movies, with a flood of unappealing sequels and small films. The writer feels let down by the lack of quality horror movies. They found “The Iron Claw” to be decent but criticized its rushed storytelling and character portrayals. Despite its flaws, the film saved the lackluster film season.
This movie is really good in parts and eye-rolling in other parts. Godzilla Minus One (Minus1) is Japanese Toho production, and it’s just as good as some Hollywood releases in my opinion. There… Continue reading
I think I’ll watch more noir crime movies and see if I can squeeze out some entertainment value. I’ve certainly been watching a lot of horror movies and low-budget crap lately, mixed in… Continue reading

Body Bags wasn’t a movie I thought about until I found a 90s VHS in a bottom of a box. I unearthed it like a fossil and it actually played fairly well, but… Continue reading
Wes Craven came up with some unique, meta ideas in New Nightmare he later used in Scream a few years later. This is like a warm up for the kind of thing Craven… Continue reading
