NORTH OF THE BORDER HORROR: Dead Shack (2017)
A man runs into the night as a woman clad head to toe in body armor gives chase. She has a zombie on a leash that she uses to kill the man. And boom — I’m in as Dead Shack begins. Jason is meeting up with his friend Colin’s family — sister Summer, dad Roger […]
AMPHIBIAN WEEK: The Shape of Water (2017)
Not many of the movies we cover have won Oscars, much less the Best Picture. But in my eyes, movies like W Is War or Rats: The Night of Terror are entertaining as hell and it doesn’t matter to me what the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences think. But hey — we have an […]
Sequence Break (2017)
Polybius isn’t a video game. It’s an urban legend. Supposedly, the game was a government experiment, a game that produced not only intense psychoactive symptoms but also became addictive. Even crazier, the Men in Black would data mine these machines and study the users. Why? Who knows — legends like this have gone as far […]
Coco (2017)
We’ve been watching so many animated movies lately. And the truth is, so many of them blow away real movies. This movie wrecked us. It’s one of the most emotional journeys I’ve seen in some time and that’s no exaggeration. Based on an original idea by Lee Unkrich (who directed Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo) and co-directed by him […]
Happy Death Day (2017)
“I wish this was 1981 and we weren’t having these be our movies. We deserve way better.” That’s what Becca said after watching this movie and she actually enjoyed this one. Yes, you may say that horror is on the rise, with It being the highest grossing genre film ever and Get Out being considered for major […]
mother! (2017)
I know someone who said that mother! was a movie that he warned people against seeing because of its subject matter and wondered if it should even be made. And then, I know people who fell in love with the film, lavishing it with praise. Still, others were shocked by its violence or upset by […]
Brigsby Bear (2017)
James Pope never left home, content to live with his parents. His only concern in the world is his obsession with a children’s television program titled Brigsby Bear Adventures, writing detailed recaps of the show and debating each episode online with other fans. But what if the world he lives in isn’t reality? James (Kyle Mooney, SNL) […]

Mother Krampus is a film from the United Kingdom where it is titled more aptly 12 Deaths of Christmas. A mother, Vanessa and her daughter, Amy […]
CHRISTMAS CINEMA: The Elf (2017)
This movie is brought to you by our friend Paul Andolina, who created the website Wrestling with Film. It’s mid-December and it’s finally starting to look like Christmas outside. Last week Star Wars The Last Jedi premiered and I was excited to see it in theaters opening day but deep down I was looking forward […]
CHRISTMAS CINEMA: Red Christmas (2017)
Hey — a new Christmas themed horror movie on Netflix! Is it worth watching? Well, that depends. To me, this seemed even more stressful than Home for the Holidays. It concerns a family that nearly hates one another, all made up of stereotypes, who meet in the Australian outback for the holidays. Eh, let’s get […]
