  Opera 1987

  ★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  I clearly don't get Argento. I lost track of how many times while watching this I said "the fuck is this horseshit?"

  Although I probably said it five times during the absurd final 15 minutes.

  The fuck is this horseshit?

  Hannah, Queen of the Vampires 1973

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  This flick is 100% my jam.

  700-year-old isolated island mythos turns legit. Gothic cemetery creep setting. Crypt rituals. Reawakening terror.

  This feels more like a black mass/Satanic ritual 70s flick than a vampire feeding frenzy. And I'm here for all of it.

  Shot exceptionally well and a fantastic final act.

  Cinderella's Curse 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Jun 2024

  Yeah yeah yeah, I know. Another low budget entry in the public domain fairy tale gone horror

  But hear me out. I absolutely loved this flick.

  The production was much higher grade than I expected. Great sets, locale, and wardrobe.

  And some really good solid - and plentiful - bloody practical kills. You've never seen a stiletto kill so many. :)

  The actress playing Ella - in the final act, OMGs her sinister gleeful smiles sold it.

  Do we need…

  The Gorge 2025

  ★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Decent, but ultimately disposable, Saturday afternoon CGI creature flick.

  Zero-tension, surprise-free predictable flick that looks purdy and has a couple "oh, that was cool" moments. The time in The Gorge itself has some creepy visuals that I enjoyed.

  The "why" was a little eyeroll, but I've seen worse....

  Also when you have a two hour movie with basically two people, there's not a lot of concern over their safety, because otherwise there's no movie - and thus not really a lot of edge-of-seat risk.

  But keep your expectations low and it's alright.
