Movies: Birth/Rebirth (2023)

April 11, 2024

Another newer film that I’d been hearing some buzz about that was also available on Shudder (like the previously discussed Moon Garden) is the feature-length directorial debut of Laura Moss, titled Birth/Rebirth. The movie premiered at Sundance in early 2023 and got a limited theatrical release in the late summer of the same year. Clearly … More Movies: Birth/Rebirth (2023)

Movies: Moon Garden (2022)

April 7, 2024

I have to admit that I had never heard of the 2022 film Moon Garden until I heard Jason and Kali talking about it over on Sinister Cinema Reviews; they mentioned it as one of their favorite films of last year. Moon Garden premiered at the Dances with Films Festival in Los Angeles back in … More Movies: Moon Garden (2022)

Movies: Stopmotion (2023)

March 31, 2024

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been on a bit of a mini-quest to actually watch some of the most-talked-about new horror films while they’re still (relatively) new, hence actually going to the theater to see the incredible Late Night with the Devil (which we livestreamed a review for here), and paying $6.99 to … More Movies: Stopmotion (2023)

Movies: Poor Things (2023)

March 28, 2024

Not long after I posted my review of Yorgos Lanthimos’s 2017 film The Killing of a Sacred Deer, seemingly everyone and their mama crawled out of the woodwork and told me that I absolutely must make time for an immediate viewing of the latest work from the Greek auteur, 2023’s Poor Things (which is loosely … More Movies: Poor Things (2023)

Movies: Mark of the Devil (1970)

March 17, 2024

In 1968, Michael Reeves’s historical folk horror film Witchfinder General (which Tom and I reviewed here) hit theaters in its native Britain. Starring the always incredible Vincent Price and renamed The Conqueror Worm for American audiences, the film took the real-life figure of English witchfinder Matthew Hopkins and spun a lurid tale of torture and … More Movies: Mark of the Devil (1970)

Book vs Movie: The Ritual

March 12, 2024

I figured it had been a while since I did a good old-fashioned book-to-movie comparison, and it so happened that the subject came up somewhat fortuitously, as I noticed that Adam Nevill’s 2011 folk horror novel The Ritual had become available to read for free on Kindle Unlimited. I had seen the movie years ago … More Book vs Movie: The Ritual

Movies: Frightmare (1974)

March 7, 2024

The other day, the mood struck me, as it sometimes does, to take in a forgotten film from the 1970s, one I hadn’t seen before but had heard a few people talking about here and there. And that’s how I stumbled upon 1974’s Frightmare, a British film that I remember seeing the cover of numerous … More Movies: Frightmare (1974)

Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

March 3, 2024

When I posted my review of Fright Night Part 2 a few days ago, a listener named Scott commented on my Facebook page that he’d like to see a review of the 1993 Stephen King adaptation The Dark Half. I could have sworn Tom and I had reviewed that movie on 13 O’Clock already, but … More Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

Movies: Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

February 27, 2024

Tom Holland’s 1985 horror comedy Fright Night is easily one of the best horror movies of the 80s and one of the best vampire films of all time. Because of its critical and commercial success, a sequel was naturally planned, and though Fright Night Part 2 was made and eventually released in 1989, it only … More Movies: Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

Movies: The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

February 13, 2024

Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is quite a celebrated director, having been nominated for six Oscars as well as winning a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. His style is very idiosyncratic and provocative, to say the least, but is so singular that I’m pretty sure you could never mistake one of his films for anyone else’s, … More Movies: The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
