Elijah’s Secret (2016)
Back when I was a kid, I read so many Jack Chick comics. That’s because while the tracts are given away for free, the full-size comic books were always in Christian stores, and those were the only places that sold craft supplies in my small town. Chick’s Crusader comic book had six issues about Alberto Rivera, […]
2025 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 31: Halloween Fan Films: Halloween Nightfall (2023), Michael Myers: Absolue Evil (2016), The Nightmare Ends On Halloween II (2011)
31. I REMEMBER HALLOWEEN: This night, anything goes. I hate that in the new Halloween films, we’re told the sequels no longer exist, yet they’re still endlessly referenced. Sure, I could be happy with just watching the first two films, but every year, with every new Halloween, the movies that came before seem to get […]
2025 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 5: Hush (2016)
5. SHRIEKS & SQUEALS: This one’s gotta have that sound that makes the hairs on your neck stand up and sends shivers down your spine.

MILL CREEK BOX SET RELEASE: Documentary Now! (2015-2022)
Whether you believe that this is a series in its fiftieth season or a mockumentary show created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas, you just have to watch it.

Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Nine Lives (2016)
June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos). I saw this at the drive-in, a second feature with something else that I can’t remember, but you don’t forget a movie in which a not far from being cancelled Kevin Spacey plays Tom Brand, a workaholic tycoon who becomes a cat. […]
Fight Valley (2016)
When Tori (Chelsea Durkalec) is killed — maybe in Fight Valley, an underground MMA club and come on, she totally died there because why would this movie even get made and why would it be named Fight Valley otherwise — her sister Windsor (Susie Celek) moves back home and meets up with her girlfriend Duke (Erin […]
SYNAPSE 4K UHD RELEASE: Blood Feast (2016)
Director Marcel Walz’s Blood Feast remake has a thankless task. Technically, it’s automatically a better-made movie than the original Blood Feast. But it’s not a better movie. Does that make sense? Fuad Ramses (Robert Rusler), his wife Louise (Caroline Williams) and daughter Penny (Sophie Monk) have moved to Paris and opened the Ramses American Diner. But […]
APRIL MOVIE THON 4: Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre (2016)
April 21: Gone Legitimate — A movie featuring an adult film actor in a mainstream role.

The Love Witch (2016)
I want to love this movie, but I don’t. It has everything I should love. It’s an auteur project by Anna Biller, who directed, wrote, edited, produced, scored and designed the clothes. It’s shot on 35mm film. It’s about a woman discovering herself through witchcraft. So what gives? Elaine Parks (Samantha Robinson) is a widow […]
