A bright but socially awkward exchange student takes her craving for popularity to horrifying heights.
————————————————————————
This is a revenge tale as well as a science fiction tale with a bit of body Horror thrown in.
The film Feels cruel yet sensitive as while most of the characters are cruel. Only one of them truly deserves what happens to them.
Not to mention you generally have symoathy for the main character throughout. So much so that even some of the kills that occur. You might find yourself thinking of a defense for her.
Other Then that story wise, it’s pretty basic with an original ending that seems to match the cruelty of the rest of the film.
Leaving it is a kind of tales from the crypt twists. It pulls you in with its underdog tale and stays inventive while giving the various actresses not only more screen time to shine, but allows them to show range.

A struggling all-girl rock band kicks off a new tour, hoping to rekindle their popularity. Things are off to a bad start, however, when they show up to their first gig to find the town deserted. After they catch the attention of horrors from beyond our reality, the band realizes that being forgotten by their fans is the least of their problems.
——————————————
Don’t let the title fool you as It’s the name of the all female band who make up the leads of this film, but just like the name ItMs
Meant to provoke but is pretty basic. Similarly this film wants you to believe it will be provocative and ends up not really being that but offers an appearance of it.
An annoying part of horror films is that when strange things happen the characters act like they have never seen a horror film or that the genre doesn’t exist
Which is why they always think there is some explanation that will solve everything and while no one. Is asking for them to be experts as this is there reality. It would be nice that horror be acknowledged as existing and either mroe questioning or realization that this is
ore out of the ordinary
I wanted to like this film as it has plenty of splatter, gore and other disgusting visuals and qualities (not that is what I look for in my horror movies) but the film is disappointing
As it offers very little to find interest in and comes across as a typical otherworldly zombie film with less action, yet very colorful. That offers plenty of gore and would be considered nasty because of it.
For all the color and wildness the rock band aspect should add to the film. It stays rather tame and uneventful. Especially when there seems to be a scene to highlight them doing drugs.
Yet there is never really too many scenes that might make any of the characters feel like this might all be some kind of hallucination due to its
Less original than expected. Where you wish there was more action.
Didn’t filmmakers expect to get by on effects and shock? It comes across as very 1999’s or even early 2000’s
It feels like a better funded foreign Trom studios film only without any real exploitation other than the title. With a little evil dead thrown in, but mainly a science fiction course in horror 102. It tries to offer some original science fiction fantasy elements. Though doesn’t necessarily save it or make the audience garner more interest.
Though while it is obviously B-Movie material with a d grade production other than special effects. This is defitnely the type that would have gone straight to home video in the past. Yet offers none of the guilty pleasures of those productions.
In the end you really Don’t care too much because you barely know the characters except one who exclusively has flashbacks to what keep her going
A film that doesn’t really feel like it needed to be made. As you wonder what it really has to offer or what story it has to tell. As it offers nothing different so it just feels like an unoriginal copy. It’s a movie of filler and not even a satisfying popcorn flick
Cast: Gerrit Graham, Brian Robbins, Tricia Leigh Fisher, Robert Vaughn, Norman Fell, Jack Riley, Bill Calvert, Larry Linville, Sandra Kerns, June Lockhart, Rich Hall, Bianca Jagger, Larry Cedar
A couple of teenagers break into a secret government science lab and steal a frozen corpse for a high school prank and accidentally awaken the corpse which turns out to be a CHUD named Bud, who goes on a killing spree and making his victims also cannibalistic CHUD’s and its up to the teens to stop him.
————————————————————————
The film as strange as it’s rated R, but there is nothing that bad, except for the implied violence in a little blood, but really as it’s so comedic and camp he could easily be more for kids as a starter, horror, film, or at least young teens, as there is nothing really that objectionable in the film
This song is one of those hidden in plain sight as this hits the right spot and happy to discover it late to truly appreciate it rather than just dismiss it as a product of the time which I’m sure many did. Now can watch it as a time capsule as they don’t make them even close to like this anymore.
The film is not scaring the least, as it goes more for comedy, which might have upset many fans of the original Chud film as this is nothing like the original, The film doesn’t even follow in the creature designs of the first CHUD film instead this is a straight-up undead or zombie film. Should know that it’s an in name sequel. Which should have known by its subtitle of blood the Chad
The only way it’s Really connected to the original Is serving as a monster movie of sorts when an actuality, this was originally written to be a sequel to RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, and stay in that realm of comedy-Horror.
The film has a cast recognizable character actors in various roles. That feels like they are more guest starring. As The film feels like one of those TV movies from the 1980s at usually start actors on the network shows of the past and of the current shows that they had on and just like them. This is more of a teen film.
actor Garrett Graham is kind of the star of the film here as he plays Bud, the Chad, and truly steals the show and saves the phone. He showcases his talents that people slept on in various other roles in different movies. Here he does it all, though it’s more a physical comedic performance, especially his facial expressions. As the character doesn’t really talk.
Actress, Tricia Leigh Fisher Costars in this film and she’s an actress that one is always a fan of, but seems to have done so few films and television that when you do see her on screen, you can’t help but put a smile on your face as she has the talent and looks to do so much more in the film industry. And she comes across as a bombshell with a middle town, America appeal, and who can actually act
This isn’t a good film, but it’s a fun film of chess for Gerritt Graham’sphysical performance above all else. Especially, How he goes from awkward zombie to a more suave Casanova look. not to mention seeing the cast of recognizable actors, feels a bit heartwarming. No, it stays comedic throughout.
It ends up feeling So bad it’s good but seems to be designed that way so it’s not bad Chessmore silly plus the film has the creepiest cameo by Robert England.
The humor of the film make it makes it feel like it’s a film full of dad jokes. Which one can appreciate this film for because it seems more and more these days like all her films even if they’re comedic, they’re more focused on exploitation of nudity and violence and can’t just be in the genre of horror and be fun and kind of clean.
Even if not scary, the film does offer good practical effects and make up FX, which seems to be a kind of a lost cause or getting diminishing returns these days
The film was filmed in 1987, but wasn’t released until 1989 the Director even made three cuts one emphasizing her, the other more emphasizing comedy in the third Edited to play on television one wonders if the cut we see now
Is the purely comedic one and the television one has one can only imagine what the scary version looks like. Even though this film seems . more made for television, and the humor seems more for a juvenile crowd.

For the past several years, the “Heart Eyes Killer” has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe.
————————————————————————
This is a film that plays more like a romantic comedy that builds itself around a horror, film plot. It’s cute. It’s violin. It sometimes has a laugh or two and both sides with each other and against against each other.
Whereas I wish you could be more like happy death day, which did have a comedy side and a horror side, but it also seemed to have its serious moments too. That made you care a little bit more.
This film lacks that so that again the characters always feel exactly like that like characters rather than human beings, and why you worry about them in their peril the film, cynical, nature, almost every other character works against it as it seeks to be a dark comedy that reels a little bit more in violence
If that is what you are seeking, you have found the perfect film for yourself and I will admit it stays entertaining through 90 minutes though after a while, it does becoming a bit predictable, though I will give it points for originality with ending to a certain extent
No, again like a romantic comedy unfortunately the two leads who we follow are somewhat interesting, but not enough to hold your attention throughout the whole film where you really start to bond with them
In fact, as a film where again some of the more supporting characters are way more interesting, and you had more screen time, but then it would probably require them to be either pulled into the plot story more killed. The audience would definitely want revenge on the slasher.
I’m thinking, especially the best friend played by Gigi Zumbado, who the film could’ve benefited with her character being featured more or hell even being the lead character if they make a sequel to this film hopefully she will get that lead role
The film is enjoyable in a disposable way where your entertained while you watch it, but can’t see many watches and some of the scenes. Remind you so much of other horror films that either is paying two or based around.
In fact, the only scene to me that was the most far would be that all these people are watching one of my favorite movies his girl Friday at a drive-in, even if it is Valentine’s Day.
It’s nice to see Jordana Brewster in any role that is not associated with the FAST & FURIOUS franchise
Almost like rather than a comedy à la Simpsons episode where there’s a serial killer killing couples out and of course the city decides to still keep it Valentine’s Day celebrations going culminating and a driving and amusement park for lovers the slasher, a perfect opportunity of victims.
Not surprised that this film was also written, but some of the writers of the film’s FREAKY and IT’S A WONDERFUL KNIFE as well as TIME CUT. As this film has a similar feel. Where the concept is pushed more than anything else. Just as being directed by Josh Ruben who made WEREWOLVES WITHIN a mystery that seemed more to push the comedic elements more than the horror or mystery ones.
Again, I don’t wanna make this film seem worse than it is as it does seem to be having a lot of fun and is made more for an audience. It’s just not a sharp as it seems to aim to be like fast food good in the moment, but overall not the best for you Nor noteworthy
Cast: Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains, Bela Lugosi, Ralph Bellamy, Evelyn Ankers, Warren William, Patric Knowles, Maria Ousperskaya, Fay Helm
Upon his return to his father’s estate, aristocrat Larry Talbot meets a beautiful woman, attends a mystical carnival and uncovers a horrifying curse.
this is one of the first films to have a werewolf at the center of its floor, and you have to give it respect as the film is well made with a legendary cast
Unfortunately, even at only 70 minutes, it gets right to the point and manages to tell a story though it just doesn’t feel that strong
I thought this was the first time I ever seen this film, but checking my files. I realized I had seen this film only a few years before, and it completely slipped my mind.
so for me, this film is memorable. It might be a case of. I was born later and have seen many werewolf movies that use similar premise, but were more memorable. Only here we’re getting what the basics of all those other tales were and simplest form by the time and trying to tell, entertaining an emotional story
It’s not a bad film and can understand why it has its fans, but is a concert reminder that just because it’s first doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best but it pave the way for the others so you have to give it a certain amount of respect
But if you already know, you’re really not into black-and-white classic horror films. This might be one you wanna skip as it’s never quite a strong as Dracula or Frankenstein or the ultimate bride of Frankenstein.
and the film doesn’t present itself as some kind of the movie that was more made to fit a fad or rushed out with little care the film it’s requirements as far as entertaining the audience, but actually showcasing emotions and characters, owning up to their decisions and choices in certain moments
Cast: Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, Sam Jaeger, Benedict Hardie, Ben Prendergast
A family at a remote farmhouse is attacked by an unseen animal, but as the night stretches on, the father begins to transform into something unrecognizable.
Pay atention to the title, because that’s pretty much what this movie seems to be about as it has its own reminiscence of the fly as we watch the lead character slowly transform into this Wolfman.
There are so many ways of looking at this movie. It has the Liriano kind of cold direction, but impressive style at times that at least is some thing you don’t expect.
Though this is more a traumatic thriller, so if you’re looking for a horror film, you’re gonna find yourself sadly disappointed as it does have those types of scenes, but for the most part seems to be more about this man’s slow transformation, and trying to protect his family, and then also slowly morphing into the problem himself
The film at times feels like it should be more hard-hitting, but there just seems to be something missing or just plays off bland. It also obviously is trying to push the female character to be more of the heroic force because she’s trying to be a nurture and at first it seems like she’s more a journalist, but when it comes to survival, she does what she hast to do to protect her daughter, her family even if she hast to face off against the man, she loves her husband.
His transformation can also be seen as him try, actually having to face his trauma from his rough childhood with what seems to be an uncaring father that he has obviously Buried, but still has that anger while trying to be the good guy, decent husband, and good father he doesn’t want his family to have to deal with the same types of things that he did.
So eventually, unfortunately, it becomes like an incredible hulk situation, where he can’t help this other side of him coming out or really transforming him totally.
As what the film does have going forward, is if the few scenes of style and prosthetic special effects. While the film does have violence, it’s also a secluded thriller where there aren’t that many victims so not so much useless bloodshed almost like Cujoh more of trying to survive the night and the ordeal, which also makes it feel a little bit more like most of the film takes place in real time
The Hulk analogy also works for this phone because it seems like it’s very hard for Hollywood to truly come up with a good or great werewolf movie and they’re either barely passable usually just OK or just bad or disappointing, whereas every other famous creature seems to have more than a few defining films to the repertoire.
The film isn’t bad it just is that you go in, expecting one thing and coming out with another and even the other that it is is pretty plain and bland, feeling more melodramatic with supernatural horror and thriller elements.
Which is a shame, because with the invisible Man, leave, Wagner came up with a film that felt inventive, but then again, he also had more room to work with as THE INVISIBLE MAN, while a memorable character isn’t as popular isn’t ball down by as many rules and lower, so you can kind of create an ad more than you can with well established, vampire, zombies, or where wolves
At least I can say that the film is Earnest in it’s
depictions of werewolves as it tries to create, but it seems like it’s problem was It wants
to dip itself a little in the fantasy, but also be somewhat grounded in reality-based as well as offering some scientific explanations, and while they work well enough off of each other, they don’t create a satisfying formula completely.
No, maybe the focus was too much on the transformation giving it a sort of THE FLY comparisons only not as focused on the Body Horror
Cast: Danilo Micheli, Andrea Massarelli, Anna Bruna Cazzato, Mirella Venturini, Valerio Isidori, Antonio Mea, Alea Armani
Stefano Vicinelli and his girlfriend Diana fall two weeks behind on their hotel rent and face having their luggage and car impounded until they can pay the bill. Conveniently for them, a distraught woman in the room right above theirs leaps to her death from the window. Using that as a distraction, the lovebirds sneak out and take off. Running low on money, they pool what little cash they do have and go to the racetrack. Stefano encounters a crazed woman wearing sunglasses who demands he give her a key so she can unlock a door. After she calms down, she proposes a deal with him: She’ll help him win money in the horse race if he’ll help her “get past the gate.” Having no clue what she’s even talking about, Stefano reluctantly agrees and bets on her suggestion. After the horse wins and he collects, he feels obliged to accompany the strange woman – who introduces herself as Countess Angela – back to her home.
The film has a misleading title that seems used to get an audience interested. Sure, it’s an erotic movie that doesn’t actually show or revolve around the sexual act in particular. It hints at the act once.
Though it is more like a softcore erotic movie with a supernatural plot that isn’t too convoluted but leads to erotic interludes. So that it literally feels like a porno with a plot and professional production values. That never goes in the direction of being a full hardcore adult film, but also barely has any direction.
As it never quite comes across as a believable supernatural thriller either. Though the eroticism is the only thing that makes the film entertaining
Strangely enough, the film takes itself too seriously instead of going full steam into a more cultural exploitation experience.
There is of course plenty of nudity as well as softcore sex of all kinds, with a love story thrown in. The film feels heavily edited to make sure the action doesn’t go too far into more hardcore territory.
The film’s plot really makes no sense. Though the movie tries to hypnotize the audience with surreal imagery. That feels more like arthouse pretensions with hippie philosophy and astrology thrown in for plenty of ceremonies.
No, the grade isn’t because it doesn’t live up to the title, but at least if the filmmakers had just decided to go with a more out-and-out pornographic movie. Maybe the audience wouldn’t;t have been so let down by a title that seems more meant to shock, but ultimately becomes more a gimmick

After a French stripper is harassed by a man who wants a cache of diamonds stolen by her late father, she flees to England in the company of a doctor, but danger follows.
There is a murder mystery at the heart of this film that seems to take a backseat to showing the body fashions, styles, wigs, and beauty of the film’s star Nieves Navarro. As the film practically worships her as much as most of the male main characters do in the beginning
So much so that it feels like like a star vehicle as we see her in states of undress and high fashion, where each scene seems to be her in a new outfit or look even in her striptease in which it seems like she does blackface or it’s just very heavily tanned with an Afro wig. She manages to burn through the scree. She manages to burn through the screen. A chance for her to role-play and these costumes, even as she plays the same character.
Their scenes of her whole striptease and scene of her eating by a fireplace that plays more like sex between her and her married lover, then just simple foreplay, especially with all the close-ups of their faces. As the film tries to exude glamour, class, and a fair bit of being campy.
Now, once the second half of the film starts, it almost feels like a different film. This is where it becomes more of a murder mystery and it’s not as magical or fun. The reality seems to set in.
As almost everyone is a suspect as they all seem to be fascinated or stalking the lead female character, even both. Even the married man’s wife becomes a suspect, and she seems to resemble an older version of the main character, the actresses look alike
The main female character is the truly interesting part. She seems to be the bait for all of the characters, including the audience.
There is even a ridiculous action scene that seems obsessed with the female character who keeps seeming to hit her silence in the balls times throughout a scene.
The film offers plenty of twists and turns, though it does feel lengthy at times. The film isn’t as thrilling or spooky as expected, and a movie of this kind that resembles a Giallo. Though it feels like a naughty version of a police procedural from the 1970s on foreign land. We see the before, the actual crime, and the after with an investigation.
It’s also not the most artistic as the first half works more as a relationship drama with lavish locations and some intrigue. It ends up being more fun than expected.

A young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church but encounters darkness that causes her to question her faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
I give this some credit it’s better than it should be as it seemed at first like it was going to be a rebooted sequel that’s a prequel cash-in on the original.
By the end, it’s a well-put-together thought-out horror film that makes sense and takes its time to tell its tale. Though I wonder if that is why people give it so much credit as they weren’t expecting much and came out with an actual good movie
This film came out at the same time as the Sweeney film IMMACULATE, which to me kind of looks the same except that you had a more recognizable actor in the forum, Sydney Sweeney, but watching the trailers, one would often get what was supposed to happen to confused what came to actually watch the films. as it seemed kind of like the phenomenon that would happen years ago, where two studios that have competing films with the same theme, think ARMAGEDDON and DEEP IMPACT. Or VOLCANO and DANTE’S PEAK.
this film is longer than the original film. The OMEN and there are some recognizable actors. Most of the cast is character actors. it seems like every horror or fantasy film must have a cameo from Charles Dance these days as a requirement. Not to mention even though Bill Nighy has a bigger role. He seems to be barely in it really I can only recall three scenes.
The film takes its time again as it builds slowly but once it gets rolling, it really gets interesting as there is a central mystery and we’re getting clues left and right, things are getting put together and we realize what is happening so that the film puts itself together quite nicely
Even if from the beginning, the nuns always seem a bit suspect and mean.
there is a scene where it seems like they try to homage Isabelle Adjani’s infamous scene from POSESSION. only here it happens after a car crash and certain details are revealed that the main character has their own scene of revelation, and her reaction is similar as far as you can go in a more mainstream film.
What’s interesting is that this film though it is a prequel leaves room for a sequel that could be done as a side story that is kind of intersex with the original film or maybe even THE Omen Two or could be a direct sequel to them if they choose to jump that many years
The film is never quite scary, but it does have a sense of unease. That will keep you guessing and offers the required terrifying images without quite reviewing all so while it shows it also sets your imagination to something that is probably worse to fill in the picture which movies try and fail but actually works here.
Director Arkasha Stevenson definitely has the talent. Hopefully, he continues to make memorable and noteworthy films. Look what he accomplished with an almost-forgotten franchise
Cast: Jessica Belkin, Taylor Kowalski, Joji Otani-Hansen, Jeremy Sisto, Christopher M. Lopes, Glen Gould, Michael Giannone, Tara Raani
A small-town killing spree lands on the doorstep of a rural diner, where a young waitress must fight for her life throughout one long night.
The film is short and sweet and seems simple at first, then explains how we got to a certain point after the reveal and then continues the story.
Manages to stay throughout where it’s all around revenge where each of the film’s protagonists takes up their own vigilante Justice in any way.
Even though they are sympathetic, none of the characters is particularly likable. It might be that they all seem kind of hopeless in their own way, or at least somewhat stuck.
By making the characters unlikable damaged yet sympathetic, ask the audience to find some sympathy for the characters they never would have normally even if just as victims.
The film is pretty cut and dry though add some spice to the mix that keeps it tasty throughout. In the first half we get to learn about the characters and seems almost to be your typical siege or slasher tail. Once it gets more into the second half of the explanation, it becomes a little more dramatic but also that much more interesting.
As it seems to battle against itself to be labeled more than basic.
However, it does have a scene with the most realistic yet coldest reaction to a character suddenly facing hard out of nowhere.
The end of the film is not necessarily spectacular, but at least it’s interesting and mildly noteworthy and definitely not a bad debut by Director Alex Scott Neal. Interested to see the filmmakers’ next works
Cut To The Chase
