I kept waiting for the cheesy, lovable monsters that make 50s era horror and sci-fi movies so great. But it never happened. As it turns out, The Incredible Petrified World is more of an adventure story than science fiction, and calling it “adventurous” would be a stretch. Despite having B movie legend John Carradine onboard, the movie has very few redeeming qualities. Read more “The Incredible Petrified World”
Inside the Strange, Psychic World of Indigo Children
Admittedly, I have an interest in stuff like witchcraft, clairvoyance, chakras, and all sorts of meta-physics shit. But Indigo Children? This seems like bullshit. Read more “Inside the Strange, Psychic World of Indigo Children”
Love and Saucers
Well…this is interesting. I want to believe aliens have visited Earth. This documentary does nothing to influence my opinions on the matter. The claims made are simply ridiculous. But, I suppose, it’s entertaining. Read more “Love and Saucers”
Killer Legends
This is a fun documentary that first aired on Chiller, discussing urban legends and the real life events that influenced them.
Splatter Westerns are in vogue!

Circle (2015)
This movie has all kinds of potential and just doesn’t deliver the goods the way you really want.
It’s a cool idea: A bunch of strangers awaken–in an upright position, oddly–arranged in a circle, each of them standing in their own red circle. If they move from the red circle, they’re dead. Read more “Circle (2015)”
The Platform (2019)
Holy shit! Where has this movie been my whole life?
I’d never even heard of The Platform until my lovely wife found it on Netflix. The preview was intriguing and, though I typically reserve foreign language films for when I’m specifically in the mood for such a thing, we decided to give it a watch. God, I’m glad we did.

The Open House (2018)
Warning, I’m gonna drop some spoilers, though there isn’t much to spoil.
You understand pretty early on that The Open House is one of those slow-burn thrillers–where there’s a creak here and bump there and all the occasional odd occurrences. Unfortunately, there is no bang at the end of that burning fuse. Read more “The Open House (2018)”
13 Sins
Wow, this was a fun ride.
I’m actually shocked I’d never heard of 13 Sins before coming across it on Netflix. A short, powerful synopsis always pulls me in with books, and it’s no different with movies. The plot descriptions given on IMDB and Amazon are your generic run through, but on Netflix it says: “For $1000, this likable loser will hurt a fly. What will he do for a million? One task down, 12 more to go…” Read more “13 Sins”
Coming Soon!
I could not be happier about this book, alongside one of the best literary gore-artists in the business–Christine Morgan. This is some bloody nasty body horror! Stay tuned for the release!
