A ★★★★ review of Taste of Fear (1961) It's great seeing this Hammer classic in a packed theater and hearing all the reactions to the twists and turns at the end.

A ★★★½ review of Day of the Dead (1985) I still prefer Dawn of the Dead, but seeing a 4K version on the big screen gave me a new appreciation for this.

A ★★½ review of Night of the Reaper (2025) I'd hope this would be a little slice of 80s slasher nostalgia, but instead it's pretty dull and uninteresting with way too much backstory to try and keep straight. It does pick up a little in the thi...

A ★★½ review of The Final Terror (1983) This movie has everything. The Master from Buffy aardvarking in the forest. A skinny Joey Pants. Adrian Zmed (surprisingly with his shirt on) howling like a wolf. Daryl Hannah in corn rows. Rachel War...

A ★★½ review of [REC]³ Genesis (2012) The Halloween III of the [REC] franchise. It's not that they abandoned the original characters and mythos, but the decision to abandon the found footage format just makes this another mediocre zombie ...

The HALLOWEEN III of the [REC] franchise.

A ★★★ review of [REC]² (2009) Seamlessly picking up from where the original left off, this sequel builds on the mythos but still has some surprises up its sleeve. The Aliens of the [REC] franchise.

The ALIENS of the [REC] franchise.

A ★★★ review of Terrorgram (1990) A pretty run-of-the-mill anthology that really only suffers from weak acting, but has some impressive practical effects. A perfect way to end FAMM III with the DSCS crew.

My ★★★ review of Terrorgram on Letterboxd boxd.it/bmNyxR

A ★★★½ review of Impulse (1984) A little Stephen King small-town-run-amuck story with that 80s glow about it and a terrific cast including Tim Matheson, Meg Tilly, John Karlen, Bill Paxton, Hume Cronyn, and several other recognizabl...

My ★★★½ review of Impulse on Letterboxd boxd.it/bmLHkt

A ★★★★ review of Something Evil (1972) A little bit The Omen, a little bit Poltergeist, but all Speilberg, and add Sandy Dennis, Darren McGavin, and Johnny Whittaker, among others, and you've got a recipe for SOMETHING EVIL to watch with t...

A ★★★½ review of The Johnsons (1992) Completely bizarre and over the top, but amazing and visually unique all at the same time! The Dutch are WILD, y'all!! Happy FAMM 2025 to the DSCS crew! There's nowhere to go but up from here!

DSCS Vol. 28

"And that, your honor, is when the entire bar erupted in a singalong chorus of 'Moonage Daydream'."

A ★★★ review of Dressing Up Halloween: The Story of Ben Cooper, Inc. (2024) It was interesting and definitely has the nostalgia thing that hooked this 70s and 80s kid who wore more than one of these costumes on Halloweens past. It could have used a little more shaping of the ...

My ★★★ review of Dressing Up Halloween: The Story of Ben Cooper, Inc. on Letterboxd boxd.it/bjQH7R

A ★★★ review of [REC] (2007) Still one of the better examples of early found footage.

My ★★★ review of [REC] on Letterboxd boxd.it/bjfOIr

A ★★★ review of Baron Blood (1972) Not one of Bava's best, but still he always had a way with Gothic horror and this was a nice blend of traditional and modern Gothic horror. Nice to see Joseph Cotten in there too!

My ★★★ review of Baron Blood on Letterboxd boxd.it/biFB0f

A ★★★ review of Deadly Friend (1986) It's hard to believe Wes Craven made A Nightmare on Elm Street and then made this goofy mess just a few years later.

Hard to believe Wes made this goofy mess after he made NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

A ★★★ review of Nowhere (1997) Although the final chapter of Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse Trilogy is the most polished with the biggest budget and a whole cast of some of the hottest young actors of the time, to me it's also mostl...

My ★★★ review of Nowhere on Letterboxd boxd.it/bi6mWX

A ★★★½ review of The Whisperer in Darkness (2011) A mostly faithful adaptation of the Lovecraft novella that's heightened by its homage to paranoid Red Scare sci-fi flicks of the 50s and 60s.

My ★★★½ review of The Whisperer in Darkness on Letterboxd boxd.it/bhyVLn

A ★★½ review of The Craft: Legacy (2020) Oh, Zoe Lister-Jones, I always knew it couldn't last forever . . .

My ★★½ review of The Craft: Legacy on Letterboxd boxd.it/bgJEZv

A ★★★★ review of Bring Her Back (2025) Ooof, those Philippou Bros really know how to ratchet it up to 11. Sally Hawkins shines in this horrific but nuanced story of grief and survivor's guilt.

Between this and TALK TO ME, those Philippou Bros have cemented themselves in the Horror All Stars!

My ★★★★ review of Bring Her Back on Letterboxd boxd.it/bgELLl

A ★★★½ review of Mute Witness (1995) A pretty fun old-school thriller. The kind they don't make anymore. And an impressive one seeing as it was made on a shoestring budget. Full of surprises and more than a few twists and turns. And watc...

It's #TheLastDriveIn Night!

A ★★★ review of Evil Dead Trap (1988) Don't let the fact that this is a low budget Japanese slasher inspired by Sam Raimi's seat-of-your-panta movie making style fool you! This is it's own brand of outrageous bonkers that you would never ...

Absolutely Bonkers!!

A ★★★ review of Lux Æterna (2019) Film auteur, Gaspar Noé, is known for his inventive style, and it is perfectly on display in this collaboration with actresses Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsborg that likens working in the film in...

A ★★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025) PTA is SO back! And he's reminding us WHY we go to the movies in the first place. This particular offering from the writer/director wunderkind weaves together some of his strongest trademarks includin...

A ★★★½ review of Snack Shack (2024) Adam Rehmeier has quickly cemented his status as one of my favorite filmmakers, and although this is not quite as much fun as his Dinner in America, it's still a terrific teen summer comedy like they ...

Adam Rehmeier has quickly become one of my must-see writer/directors.

A ★★★ review of Identikit (1974) You'll never convince me that Elizabeth Taylor in this movie wasn't the inspiration for Suzanne Sugarbaker on Designing Women.

My ★★★ review of Identikit on Letterboxd boxd.it/bbBQrJ

A ★★★ review of Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Tonatiuah is the highlight of Bill Condon's film adaptation of the Kander & Ebb stage musical. It strives to be Chicago but lands somewhere in Nine territory.

My ★★★ review of Kiss of the Spider Woman on Letterboxd boxd.it/bazXfx

A ★★★★ review of The History of Sound (2025) As lyrical as the song that lie at the center of its story. What is life besides a collection of sensory experiences: a song, a touch, a smile, a kiss. I do love a good epic period romantic drama that...

A ★★★★ review of The Doom Generation (1995) This one has always been the definitive Araki movie to me, and with the new Criterion edition, it has never looked or sounded better.

With the new @criterioncollection edition, this has never looked or sounded better!
