Tonight’s October Challenge Review is the Horror Comedy “Totally Killer” from Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse, released direct to streaming on Amazon this year. This is from Nahnatchka Khan, a comedy writer/producer/director in her first foray into Horror and her second feature movie as director. Written by the team of David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver and …
For tonight October Challenge Horror Review I’m checking out Guillermo Del Toro’s second feature “Mimic”. The movie was released 3-5 years (depending on the country) after his fascinating new take on the vampire story “Cronos” (1993) and four years before his next movie “The Devil’s Backbone” (2001). This is his take on the big bug …
Tonight’s October Challenge movie is Jeremy Saulnier’s Horror Thriller “Green Room” from 2015. The second A24 movie of this October’s viewing (The last being the unimpressive “X”). This one was born out of Saulnier’s obsession with creating a horror movie set in a green room. Initially he created a short movie that was totally unrelated …
For the second Charles Band produced horror of this October’s viewings (With at least one more to come) I’m checking out “Ghoulies” from 1984. This was a well known low budget horror back in the day that I was always aware of, but never got around to checking out. That is likely because it seemed …
Tonight’s October Horror review is the Japanese horror “Akumu tantei”. In English the title is “NIghtmare Detective”. This is directed by Shin’ya Tsukamoto who is most famous for giving the world the bizarre cyberpunk body horror classic “Tetsuo: The Iron Man”. Staring Ryûhei Matsuda as the titular Nightmare Detective “Kyoichi Kagenuma” and Hitomi Furuya as …
For tonight’s October Challenge Horror review I’m checking out the Black Comedy Horror “12 Hour Shift” from Brea Grant. This stars long time Horror pro Angela Bettis, who I’ve been a fan of ever since watching Lucky McGhee’s “May” (2002). A talented actress that seems to struggle to find quality films to be in but …
Tonight’s movie review comes courtesy of Walt Disney and Ray Bradbury in the dark carnival story “Something Wicked This Way Comes” from 1983. A movie with a complex and troubled production, at one point it was to star Kirk Douglas and at another it was going to be directed by Sam Pekinpah. It is based …
Tonight’s movie is a classic B-Movie Science Fiction Horror from the fifties. “Invaders from Mars” hit the theaters in 1953 and was the first movie to hit the big screen about alien body snatchers. This is far more Sci-Fi than Horror but it’s close enough to make my October viewing. It was also remade in …
Tonight I’m reviewing “Lords of Chaos” from 2018. This is based on a true story and while changes have been made for dramatic effect I cannot emphasize enough that the reality may be stranger than fiction. This is also a story of additional interest to me as someone that has spent most of their life …
Tonight’s horror movie is cult 80’s Werewolf movie “Wolfen”. I came across this via a cult movie facebook group and being a fan of Werewolves it was a no brainer to check out as part of my October Challenge for this year. The movie is based on the Whitley Strieber novel “The Wolfen” from 1978 …
