Lake Mungo 2008
I rewatched this film this morning after spotting it on the 'featured' page on Shudder. I had a relatively fond recollection of it, but I couldn't remember details. For some reason, like many folks, I think that I mentally placed it under that general umbrella of 'found footage'/'immersive horror' and filed it away as part of a general mainstream trend at the time; however, it's not that at all. "Mockumentary" doesn't really sit well with me either, since there's a…

The First Purge 2018
I finally watched this after having it suggested many, many times over the years. I will confess that I have never watched a Purge film all the way through before this one. I don't view the Purge movies as Horror at all, and I've always been put off by the crowds of folks I know who *really* like them. It's similiar to the love for the Walking Dead which--to me anyway--is just a mindless seige trope stretched-over several years with…

The Nun 2018
This is a re-watch, and I'm sure most horror fans have seen it already. I'm trying to get back into the habit of reviewing--at least until after Halloween. * I didn't care for the movie after the first watch due to its general tropey-ness (without any irony and self-awareness that makes the tropey-ness fun, etc.). I actually think the La Llorona off-shoot from this franchise is better. My biggest distraction both times watching this, however, was the Nun itself. The…

Winchester 2018
"Winchester" had a budget of $3.5 million and made almost $39 million at the box office. There are low-budget films in my 'viewed' list that are ten times more interesting. Heck, I've watched episodes of "Supernatural" that were better written. It's a particular point of irritation to me when movies that are based on stories with so much available background info, that are beautifully shot, and that are populated with excellent actors are so terrible due to lack of creativity…

The Other Side of the Door 2016
I decided to log this as a sort of acknowledgement that I made it to the end. I almost clicked-out of it as soon as the first "face melt"/CGI appeared. [Can we officially, as a Horror community, retire the face-melt-jump-scare combo? Please? It's so tired.] The film's woefully average and a perfect example of mainstream Horror these days, sadly. There are some moments that have potential for creepiness, but most of them are cut short by jump-scares, etc. There's quite…
