If genuinely-not-stale hillbilly horror is your thing, mixed with arthouse-esque vibes and creative editing, Honeydew is the one for you. ⤇
If you can get past the fact that it’s an “Alien” ripoff that’ll never actually be “Alien,” you’ll probably find this year’s “Underwater” pretty watchable. ⤇
The Grudge (2020) is a really solid, definitely unnecessary remake of a movie that wasn’t very good in the first place from a time not yet long enough ago for anyone to remember fondly. ⤇
On July 30, my favorite Blu-ray label, Scream Factory, released the 1971 Hammer Film Productions movie Lust for a Vampire. The weakest and shlockiest entry in the Karnstein Trilogy, Lust for a Vampire is still good fun. ⤇
Ari Aster’s Midsommar tells you exactly what it’s going to do throughout and still manages to lock you in a pleasantly surprising and mesmerizingly unbreakable stranglehold despite. ⤇
With The Father’s Shadow, Fantasia hit me with the first real slow-burner of the festival. The Brazilian export from writer/director Gabriela Amaral Almeida is a dark, conceptual horror film, with pitch-perfect performances and a lot to offer. ⤇
Well-shot and deeply personal to its creator, Sator is an arthouse film that the right person will absolutely love. ⤇
While there’s all the exposed skin that you would expect from a film titled “Porno,” director Keola Racela never uses it as a crutch, instead allowing the refreshingly funny writing and nauseating practical effects plenty of room to shine. ⤇
Directed by Bobby Miller from a script by Scott Lobdell Critters Attack! is an almost pitch-perfect throwback to the vibe of the original film, balancing bloody attack sequences and black comedy with lovingly crafted puppetry and practical effects. ⤇
Crawl is a perfect change of pace from the slow-burn arthouse movies and explosive blockbusters we’ve seen hit theaters recently. It’s quiet, yet thrilling; action packed, yet small. Just like a gator, Crawl sinks its teeth in and doesn’t let go. ⤇
