It had been a while since I’d seen a good horror movie so I wasn’t expecting much beyond the typical “thing in the closet waiting to jump out at you” trope when it came to Session 9. The plot, in a nutshell, is about a group of asbestos-removers tasked with working in an old mental…
Netherworld (1992)
I have a strong dislike for this movie, and it has nothing to do with the actual plot or really anything else. For some reason I just can’t seem to tie the title with the actual movie. Case in point: I first saw this either on sci-fi or some other cable channel many years ago,…
Dark Angel: The Ascent (1994)
Dark Angel is one I hadn’t heard about from Full Moon. But as it came with several others, I now have it. Of course the several others were new to me, but be that as it may. Being from the hey day of Full Moon films, they were able to really nail down the high…
The Screaming (2000)
If you’re ever at a movie store and look through the horror/sci-fi section, you may notice some DVD sets by Brentwood. They boast having several movies in one place for the low price of around $7. Many have about four, while a few have upwards of 10-20. I learned a while back that these are…
The Granny (1995)
The Granny is a fun film. It’s completely absurd and over the top while adding in some irreverent humor and ridiculous characters. It’s a traditional story of revenge mixed with demon possession. I first found this at a video store that was still predominantly VHS driven, while the rest of the world was moving to…
Satan’s Schoolgirls (2004)
What do you call a movie with no redeeming qualities? … This movie. I suppose it was created as an outlet for some sort of private school angst, or someone had to go to church instead of play with Transformers, but the theme has been played out many times. In fact this dates back to…
Cult (2007)
If you remove the ‘L’ from the title, you get Cut. Which as reviewed earlier, ended up being a generic slasher film, following the typical routes. This movie, despite being about an ancient Asian legend rather than a slasher come to life, can easily swap the plot around. One may think a plot would hinge…
The Dunwich Horror (2009)
The Dunwich Horror was easily one of H.P. Lovecraft’s best works during the time of his more prosperous years. Mixing themes such as the ignorance of man when faced with superior beings and the ancient mysticism and legends or rural New England, Lovecraft wove a tapestry of intrigue and terror. The Dunwich Horror also bears…
Hausu (1977)
Well this was a pleasant oddity. I had seen just a clip on the Lost and Found archives, then tracked down the movie. Thankfully the movie contained about the same level of weirdness and camera tomfoolery. At least the second half anyway. Many effects were used to create this movie, and being 1977, it was…
Demons at the Door (2004)
Sooner or later, I’m going to end up watching all the movies that Joe Castro has been involved with. And not on purpose mind you, I just dig a DVD from the collection and voila, rubber demons bleeding yellow paint all over the place. Not that I complain mind you. A movie this silly can’t…
