Yes (2019)
Yes seems metatextual right from the beginning, as it explores how Jeremiah Rosenhaft (Nolan Gould of TV’s Modern Family) and Patrick Nolan (Tim Realbuto, who wrote and presented this as an off-Broadway play) have each come to escape from their lives with acting. Jeremiah moves past their sessions to become a major star who started in sitcoms, […]

DAY 16. MASKS ARE REQUIRED: You guessed it, at least one character has to wear a mask for the entire movie.

SLASHER MONTH: Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992)
We start right where the last film ended, with Mark and Sarah escaping the burning wax museum.

SLASHER MONTH: Waxwork (1988)
Based on a 1924 German film, Waxwork is the kind of baffling video rental film that I can’t get enough of. Written and directed by Anthony Hickox (Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth), it’s all about a wax museum that’s filled with the of course they’re really alive figures of the eighteen (6+6+6) […]

SLASHER MONTH: Tag: The Assassination Game (1982)
Alright, this isn’t a traditional slasher. But hey — it was written and directed by one of the people who was there was the slasher boom got started, Nick Castle. Also known as Kiss Me, Kill Me and Everybody Gets It in the End, this movie starts by taking a page out of The 10th Victim, as […]
SLASHER MONTH: Blood Song (1982)
Filmed in 1980 at the height of the slasher and not released until two years later, Blood Song stars Frankie Avalon, which is mindblowing that an actor that adorned the bedrooms of teenage girls a few decades earlier is now menacing their daughters with a hatchet and, strangely, a wooden flute. Frankie plays Paul, who watched […]
