Appetizer

  • Huesera The Bone Woman – Appetizer Review

    A psychological and body horror. Not my favorites. It’s in Spanish, which doesn’t bother me. Well done movie, just didn’t do much for me.

  • A Wounded Fawn – Appetizer Review

    A psychological horror. Almost supernatural elements, but all part of a crazy hallucination. It’s ok, but these aren’t horrific for me.

  • Carrie (2013) – Appetizer Review

    A remake of the original Carrie (1976) by Brian DePalma based on the Stephen King novel. Their intent was to update and modernize it and include some things from the book that weren’t in the original movie. I honestly didn’t notice much difference other than the use of social media posting. it was fairly close,…

  • The Rage: Carrie 2 – Appetizer Review

    A sequel to the 1976 film. Some loose connections. Typical sequel stuff to try and tie things together. Basically the same story trying to be modernized. Acceptable as far as it goes, but skippable if you’ve seen the original.

  • Carrie (1976) – Appetizer Review

    There are plenty of movies based on Stephen King stories. Some very good stories and some very good movies. This Brian DePalma movie is an early King adaptation based on his first novel. Now, I never though Carrie was great. I didn’t read it first, so that’s probably a lot to do with it. And…

  • Ghost Story – Appetizer Review

    Based on a book by Peter Straub, the movie has some great stars – including Fred Astaire and Douglas Fairbanks. Didn’t enjoy the book overly and the movie did nothing to make it better. Just didn’t draw me in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Story_(1981_film) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082449 Amazon – https://amzn.to/4oURtP4

  • Lee Cronin’s The Mummy – Appetizer Review

    Not connected to any of the other Mummy movies. It’s a good movie with an interesting plot. I felt it was more like one of the Evil Dead movies. Worth seeing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32612507 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Cronin%27s_The_Mummy Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/4f8a5HS

  • Weapons – Appetizer Review

    Interesting movie. I might classify it more as a thriller told with horror elements. A mystery where we get the story doled out in vignettes from different characters perspectives and they keep adding, layering and meshing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26581740 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_(2025_film) Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vaJEaf

  • Final Destination 5 – Appetizer Review

    We know the story – same as the last 4. The only reason to watch this is the same reason to watch slasher movies – what gruesome deaths will they show. The ending twist was fun. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1622979 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_5 Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vKFoOI

  • Jeepers Creepers Reborn – Appetizer Review

    It was kind of a reboot of the series without pretending the other ones don’t exist. Different director. Just didn’t seem to have the impact of the others. not horrible but if this was the first one I saw, wouldn’t make me rush out to see the others. They made the creeper too much like…

  • Jeepers Creepers 3 – Appetizer Review

    The 3rd one actually takes place between the first 2. It’s still not bad and as a trilogy I like them. This one isn’t as good as the other 2 but its better than a lot and better than most 3rd movies. It expands the mythology and the creeper looks awesome. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139592 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_3 Get it…

  • Backrooms – Appetizer Review

    Interesting. It was a bit of modern Alice in Wonderland meets Cabin in the Woods. The starkness was spooky. Need to see it again as I’m not sure I grasped all of it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26657236 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backrooms_(film)
