Another winner from director Chris Stokes, who wrote this with Marques Houston; this somehow gets together crypto, affairs and murders into a delectable stew of sex and murder. In short — when crypto moneymaker Nathan Maywood (Tremayne Norris) finds his business losing money — he decides to kill his wife Riley (Drew Sidora), who he thinks is cheating on him, and get the insurance money. Nothing works out right, though.

She seems to be sleeping with his financial advisor, Kevin (Francis Nouvi), whose lousy advice has caused the $250 million dollars Nathan has in the bank to suddenly be worth nothing because no one understands cryptocurrency, and I certainly don’t, so I’m not the person to make sense of it for you. Sorry. But anyway, Nathan decides to get ex-con Jesse (Stephen Barrington) to start sleeping with Riley and eventually kill her.

Jesse falls in love with her, so they hatch a plan where Riley will get her husband back in her bed — instead of between his mistress’ thighs — and as they’re reconnecting, a masked man breaks in who we’d think was Jesse, but no, it’s Kevin, who Nathan shoots and kills. Riley calls the police and claims that her husband has just shot and killed her lover, but what she hasn’t figured out is that he has friends in high places and gets out, visiting her and Jesse in bed where he beats his one-time henchman and now quicker about the head before killing his wife in self-defense.

Where’s the crypto cash? Look, I really have no clue.

Just about everyone in this movie is both gorgeous and horrible. Chris Stokes will make more movies this year than some directors make in their lives, and somehow, he will make so many that I will remember and actually enjoy. Well done.

A serial killer is on the loose, targeting nurses, despite the movie’s title. The hospital, where traveling nurses Drew (Mia Challis) and Jade (Jonetta Kaiser) are working, seems oblivious to the danger and more interested in partying. When their roommate Gigi (Kabby Borders) becomes a victim, Drew and Jade, amidst their busy rounds, embark on a suspenseful journey to unmask the killer.

Directed by Haylie Duff (remember her as Summer in Napoleon Dynamite?) and written by Danielle Dominique Nelson and Mary Risk, this film follows Drew and Jade as they uncover the truth about Dr. Lawrence C. Hartsen (Rob Mayes). Despite the serious theme, the movie’s medical realism has been criticized in many reviews. But let’s be real: You’re watching a Tubi Original called Killer Nurses. It’s not about perfect medical facts; it’s about the thrill of the chase.

Yes, I may have revealed a significant plot twist, and if you were planning to watch this, I apologize. But fear not, it won’t spoil your viewing experience. This low-demand movie is perfect for a lazy afternoon, whether you’re hungover or battling the flu. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the casual viewing experience unless your need for realism overshadows the fun of just watching something.

Also: If you were showing up for nurses as killers, this title is a liar.

Directed by Bingham Bryant and Kyle Molzan, this has a wild concept: Helen (Rosalie Lowe) has been hired to sit in a home and watch CCTV footage of the forest of Maine to ensure that no fires happen. Yet, she can tell when economic shifts will occur when she shifts her focus. She brings in her friend Charlie (Annabelle Lemieux) to reconnect. Still, they have issues when Charlie wonders why so many of the monetary elite keep calling and visiting and demanding that Helen explain to them what the stock market’s future will bring.

Why are there frames in the forest? What’s the deal with the lighthouse keeper Herbert (Tom Lloyd)? Is it way too arty by having so much of Kobo Abe’s The Ark Sakura in it? Is there a ghost in the house? Is one of the girls dating the ex-boyfriend of the other? How about that soundtrack by Keiichi Suzuki?

This is either something you will hate with all of your heart or love in equal opposition. It’s a slow-moving, shot-in Super 16mm movie that has me obsessed. I know exactly who would love this, and I’ll tell them about it, and who will hate it, so I’ll make sure to not inform them. As for me, I’ll probably end up watching it at least two more times. What a strange concept and an even odder way of bringing it to life. There’s a review on IMDB that says, “This is terrible, you should watch it!” I wouldn’t go that far, but you should challenge yourself with it.

Julie (Dominique Toney) is an artist married to Rick (Sterling Sulieman). They’ve been together for a while. Things seem to be at a lull in the bedroom, and when Lottie (Samantha Neyland Trumbo) comes into their lives, it adds some excitement. Yes, before too long, she becomes their unicorn and what should just be for one night ends up turning into a regular thing, even when Rick wants to break things off. She even shows up at Julie’s art class, posing nude, tempting her into getting even more involved.

Get ready for the most all-over-the-place twisty Tubi Original.

Directed by Lindsay Hartley (Romeo and Juliet Killers) and written by Maggie Mock (Fit for Murder), this ends up being more about getting to own a childhood home than destroying a couple and all the friends in their social circle. That means it happens along the way, but everyone is collateral damage.

Yet another movie that says this about three ways: once men have the fantasy, they’re cool with it and seemingly have checked it off their list, while for women, it unlocks a bottomless sapphic need to throw away their lives with psychotic killing machines. Maybe people should be more honest about their open marriages, you know? That’s how you get into being stalked, at least in the world of Tubi Original erotic thrillers.

Alejandro Hidalgo also made The Exorcism of God, which was an intriguing movie. It’s always cool to see new Spanish horror, and it’s great that Tubi is adding movies like this to its Originals.

Aurora (Paulette Hernandez) and her twin brother Martin (Alan Alarcón) have come back home after something happens to their mother, Cleotilde (Lucero Trejo). You know how it is. Never come back home. Never reconnect with your estranged family. But no one listens, and they return to find supernatural horror.

Martin watched their father die when he was a child, so coming home is rough. It doesn’t help that their mother may be fine, but the man who ran errands for her has died in the house. It turns out that she’s slipping into dementia, so they start to look for a home to watch her. However, she thinks that her husband is still alive — her abusive partner that Martin saw die all those years ago — and she may be turning to black magic to make it happen.

This film has an edge and darkness that makes it stand out among the normal Blumhouse-style cash-ins that horror has become today. One terrifying scene has a character waking up to the mother feasting on their toes. It’s also filmed with style; while there are some predictable moments, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Directed and written by Xan Cassavetes, the daughter of John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands, Kiss of the Vampire is a simple story told beyond well. Djuna (Josephine de La Baume) is a vampire who translates for a living and only drinks animal blood. She tries to stay away from humans, but movie writer Paolo (Milo Ventimiglia) falls for her when he sees her in a video store. He can’t stay away, no matter how much she pushes him away, so when she reveals her vampire side to him, he quickly is turned and becomes part of her world.

The bad news? Her world includes her sister Mimi (Roxane Mesquida), who quickly ruins the vampiric high society led by actress Xenia (Anna Mouglalis) as she murders humans without a thought and seducing both Paolo with her body and Xenia by offering her a fan of hers (Riley Keough).

The good news? Vampire familiars always take care of things. In this case, Irene (Ching Valdes-Aran) watches Mimi explode in the sunlight and lights a cigarette from her.

I liked how this movie presents a world where vampires are part of society. Most of all, I loved that this is closer to 70s Eurohorror — if this had a grandfather clock or a scene on a foggy beach with a pirate ship, I’d think it was a Jean Rollin movie — than anything Hollywood has to say about the living dead. Sure, it’s arty and even overly full of itself, but it has a hot redhead vampire who watches movies by Bunuel and De Sica, not to mention a great soundtrack. I’m sure that so many people watched this for artistic reasons, but if you watch it because it’s actually sleazy, filled with pretty people and has so much sex in it, I won’t be upset.

As always, the line between the arthouse and grindhouse is thin.

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan were fitness celebrities. Titus often finished in the top ten of International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation competitions and met his wife Kelly through these events. Before that, he’d been arrested for selling ecstasy and then violated his probation by doing steroids, but he had turned things around. Then, he and his wife hired Melissa James as a live-in personal assistant, but things went wrong.

Directed by Jodi Binstock (Prisoner of Love) and written by Maggie Mock (Tempted), this film casts Brock Yurich as Titus, Tory Trowbridge as Kelly and Paris Smith as Melissa. It tries to show each person’s point of view but quickly gets to the dark ending where the couple kills and burns Melissa in the back of a car.

In this movie, it’s difficult to tell if Craig ever loved Melissa, as he treats her horribly and then calls her right back, telling her that she’s perfect and that he needs her. What version of the story is telling this? Maybe he was all over the place, but his character is hard to pin down. Perhaps that was what it was like and why Melissa stayed around. Bonus points for a scene where she gets all coked up in a dance studio and starts doing multiple dance routines while calling him and screaming into the phone while she’s jamming out. His exasperation made me laugh as he shaved his chest in the shower.
