The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) movie review: cruel intentions
I have a terrible suspicion that filmmaker Tom Six would be delighted to learn that someone in the real world had tried to create a human centipede.
Poltergeist movie review: they’re here (remakes, that is)
If you have any inclination to see this, just rewatch the original. You will lose nothing, and you’ll have a far better time.
Unfriended movie review: the call is coming from inside Facebook!
There’s little less compelling than a vague evil spirit with loosely defined powers doing random “scary” things as required by the script.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown movie review: self-slashing
This isn’t only another rote slasher movie, full of ridiculous coincidences and obvious red herrings: it’s actually worse than that, yet thinks it’s clever.
Spring movie review: she’s waaay out of his league
A same-old male-ego-stroking romantic-wish-fulfillment fantasy becomes actually enraging when it adds a sci-fi-horror twist.
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night movie review: blood pressure
The Iranian skateboarding vampire feminist spaghetti western we have all been waiting for, creepy cool and gorgeously sinister, engorged with suspense and desire.
The Voices movie review: losing my cool
A chipper woman-hating comedy about a serial killer… that wants us to feel sorry for him? This is disgusting, repulsive, and enraging.
Ejecta movie review: ech file
Quite possibly an alien torture device designed to turn our brains to mush. *sob*
It Follows movie review: sexually transmitted dread
Wait. Really? Horror movies are still doing the punishing-girls-for-having-sex thing? Ah, but this is 80s retro, so it’s “okay,” then.
