“Buddy” is a look at what might have happened if a kid’s show host, a large and lovable plush Unicorn, was actually a cruel and evil murdering fiend. This becomes a twisted Twight Zone or a blighted Black Mirror episode. Under the surface of the bright and happy TV show, there are dark and dangerous things afoot… Read more
“Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” is a movie with an usual title. It represents a fictional “Camp Miasma” as an old 1980’s “Slasher Film” franchise. This series has spun off so many low-quality sequels that the entire franchise is now toxic. A young hot-shot Director has been given a chance to revive the concept again. She is paired with the now-reclusive lead actress from the first movie — the ‘Final Girl’. Can they raise the dead, and is that a good idea? Read more
“Evil Dead Burn” is the most recent entry in the ‘Evil-Dead-Verse’. That is the universe of ‘Evil Dead’ movies (started in 1981) and it features the lovely creatures called ‘Deadites’. These are things summoned from the darkness, that are neither living nor dead. Hey, perfect time for a Family Reunion! Read more
“Obsession” is a movie that at first seems like a mild-mannered version of “The Twilight Zone”. It quickly goes in a very dark and disturbing manner into ‘The Diabolical Zone’. A silly novelty item is used to grant a wish, and the results start to invade the story like a deadly plague. Let the buyer beware! Read more
“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is a movie about, well, a Mummy — but not in the ancient-thousands-of-years-old variety. This is a sickly twisted version that is closer to “The Exorcist” than “The Scorpion King”. The cursed tomb is replaced by a cursed family house. But the level of intense gore and visceral goo is more than some stomachs can endure… Read more
“The Containment” is not a movie about a large metal shipping box. No, instead this movie closer to spooky demon possession movies. But unlike ‘The Exorcist’, this deals with a cut-rate alternative to drive out that demon. Things do not go as planned… Read more
Thankfully, this picks up right where the first movie left off. I like it when they get that right. That’s how a sequel should be done. The first movie blew me out of my shoes. The game-playing idea was, or is, a huge positive for me. Samara Weaving was ridiculously awesome, so when I heard there would be part 2, color me in!! I thought it would be just as good, perhaps better!
