I originally titled this post 'Spooky Ghost Film!', but kept subconsciously reminding myself that, ghostly as this film may be, it's not very spooky. And when a film about a family being haunted and possessed by a dead mother so she can kill the youngest child of that family isn't scary... You might have made... Continue Reading →
There's no doubting this game is a classic. Based on the SCP website, a user-created community wherein people contribute files on fictional paranormal/supernatural entities being contained by the SCP foundation in a secret facility, SCP Containment Breach puts you inside that facility and lets a whole bunch of those things loose to kill you. Like... Continue Reading →
Halloween isn't over. It's frightful that I must start this epilogue to my review series with a reminder that we're still due a 2022 film called Halloween Ends, which will wrap-up the reboot of the franchise that started with the 2018 film. Rest assured, I'll be back to review that movie when the time comes,... Continue Reading →
I'm going to come out and say it right off the bat; Halloween Kills was a big disappointment. After Halloween 2018 gave a solid, if quite derivative, attempt to return the franchise to form by honouring the best of the originals, Halloween Kills undoes that by repeating the mistakes of the original series' worst movies;...

Halloween, not to be confused with Halloween or Halloween, is a sequel to Halloween, but not to Halloween. Neither is it a sequel to Halloween 2 or to Halloween 2. Easy to understand, right? Okay, but seriously, Halloween 2018 does away with all of the sequels before it and instead concerns itself with being a... Continue Reading →
The Lighthouse is a film I was drawn to specifically because Willem Dafoe was in it. I'm not even a huge follower of his work; I know him from Spiderman, Aquaman, Death Note and Mr Bean's Holiday, which are (with the exception of Spiderman) probably some of his lesser roles considering how much he's done....

Unconventional is an understatement. For a franchise that seemed to have been retreading old ground over and over again with it's earlier sequels, you do have to admire just how bizarre and weird Rob Zombie was able to make this film with his new ideas on how the Halloween story should end, regardless of if...

It may sound contradictory to call a remake of one of the most simplistic horror films ever made "different", but in truth it is. And it is for that reason Halloween 2007 has managed to stand out in the franchise from many of the weaker sequels. Even by comparison to H20, which did what it... Continue Reading →
For the most part, Halloween H20 wasn't just a bump in the franchise's quality after an array of worsening films, but it was the first one that I can actively call good and genuinely entertaining on more than one level since maybe Halloween 2 (1981). With that in mind, it's 2002 sequel, Halloween Ressurection, seemed... Continue Reading →
