Books: The Neighbor by London Clarke

December 12, 2023

Part of the fun of having a Kindle Unlimited subscription is playing what I like to call Kindle Roulette, where I just browse through the dozens of recommendations on offer and choose a book completely at random, sometimes solely from the title or a cool-looking cover design. On occasion, this method has kinda bitten me … More Books: The Neighbor by London Clarke

Movies: Await Further Instructions (2018)

December 10, 2023

Today’s movie is another listener recommendation, though this time I already had the film on my “to watch eventually” list, as I often saw it popping up on Shudder and thought it sounded interesting. It’s also fortuitous that I chose to review it in December because even though I didn’t know it going in, this … More Movies: Await Further Instructions (2018)

Movies: The Limehouse Golem (2016)

December 7, 2023

I’m actually kind of embarrassed to admit that I had never even heard of this movie (or the book on which it’s based) until someone recommended it to me a while back, telling me it was right up my alley. Said alley, or rather one of many alleys, concerns Victorian murder mysteries with real historical … More Movies: The Limehouse Golem (2016)

Movies: Pontypool (2008)

November 28, 2023

The 2008 Canadian film Pontypool is one I kept seeing pop up on various internet lists of underrated horror movies, and even though the premise always sounded intriguing to me, for some reason I never got around to watching the thing until just recently, when I noticed that Shudder had added it to their lineup. … More Movies: Pontypool (2008)

Books: The Pram by Joe Hill

November 25, 2023

In the run-up to Halloween of 2023, Amazon released a series of six stand-alone short stories/novellas under the name Creature Feature Collection, by six popular horror authors, including Grady Hendrix, Josh Malerman, Paul Tremblay, Jason Mott, Chandler Baker, and the subject of this review, Joe Hill. All six of the stories are available to read … More Books: The Pram by Joe Hill

Movies: Yellowbrickroad (2010)

November 21, 2023

While I was casting about for today’s review subject, I suddenly remembered a movie that I watched way back in 2015 that I really dug, but hardly ever heard anyone talking about, either then or now. I originally happened across it back then while I was perusing the “best horror films” of particular years on … More Movies: Yellowbrickroad (2010)

Movies: Uncle John (2015)

November 12, 2023

The film we’re discussing today is actually not really a horror film per se, but more like a Coen-Brothers-style crime thriller interwoven with a sweet and understated romantic comedy/drama. The end result is not quite as strange as that sounds, and even though the juxtaposition of the two genres is an audacious one, particularly for … More Movies: Uncle John (2015)

Revisiting Stephen King’s Rose Red (2002)

October 22, 2023

A few months ago on this very site, I did a revisit on the Stephen King miniseries from 1999, Storm of the Century, after it randomly turned up on Hulu. At around the time I was watching that, I thought to myself how I’d really like to have another look at a later three-part miniseries … More Revisiting Stephen King’s Rose Red (2002)

Movies: V/H/S/85 (2023)

October 14, 2023

Not too long ago, I did a massive mega-review of all five of the found-footage V/H/S films, which varied in quality but were mostly pretty solid (other than Viral, which I didn’t like much at all). Although I’m not the world’s biggest fan of found-footage horror in general, I was intrigued enough by the series … More Movies: V/H/S/85 (2023)

Movies: A Wounded Fawn (2022)

October 2, 2023

Whenever I hear about a movie that had a substantial amount of hype building up around it after its debut at a genre film festival, I tend to try to push the film up in my viewing rotation so I can see what all the fuss was about. So after I heard that the film … More Movies: A Wounded Fawn (2022)
