No Such Thing As Monsters (2019)
Directed by Stuart Stanton, who co-wrote the film with Karen Elgar, No Such Thing As Monsters places a young couple into the Australian outback, where a romantic weekend turns sinister thanks to an evil family.

DAY 27. ALKEBULAN: Watch something from the second largest continent. Religious men try all ways to reach out to the unwashed. There were those that tried TV shows like Davey and Goliath.

SLASHER MONTH: The Dentist (1996)
Brian Yunza directed this one, a movie that is ready to upset you even if you’re hardened to gore, because everyone hates the dentist. Seriously, if you’re about to get a filling, please avoid this movie, because it features major moments of molar malice. It made my teeth hurt just watching it. Dr. Alan Feinstone […]
Beast Within (2019)
No, this isn’t a remake of the 80’s cicada on the loose movie The Beast Within. Instead, it’s the story of the launch party for an app called “Werewolves Awaken.” As the media gathers to learn all about the game, a priest condemns everyone as “marked for the beast.” Is it all a stunt for attention? […]

SLASHER MONTH: Shiryô no wana 2: Hideki (1992)
Evil Dead Trap 2 has moments of absolute beauty and scenes of frightening horror, often within the very same frame.

They […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 26: Naked Fear (2007)
Day 26: Don’t Mess with Texas: Watch one set deep in the heart of Texas. (Okay, we cheated . . . it starts in Texas and ends up in the pancreas of Texas, aka New Mexico.) Yes, Sam . . . this does, in fact, fit into our “Slasher Month” for October. Although, technically, this […]
