Halloween Horror Tales, 2018 – ★★★

The film’s low-fi, tiny budget added a unique charm that was a real delight to watch. Its imperfections made it entertaining in all the right ways, turning flaws into features that kept me thoroughly amused.

The Legend of Halloween Jack, 2018 – ★

I can’t believe I ended up watching this a second time; it was just as disappointing as before. The film remains a complete mess, lacking coherence and any redeeming qualities.

Puppet Killer, 2019 – ★★

Seeing middle-aged actors portray teenagers made the film hilariously entertaining. This unconventional casting choice amplified the comedy and kept me thoroughly amused.

Little Bites, 2024 – ★

This film felt like another swing and miss from director Spider One, leaving me disappointed once again. The lack of sufficient explanation throughout made it a very frustrating experience.

All Hallows' Eve, 2013 – ★★★

Time has been kind to this film; watching it again after many years was enjoyable. I especially loved the alien in the second story, which added a fun twist to the anthology.

Stream, 2024 – ★★

Despite its lengthy runtime, the film offers very little in terms of engaging content, making it feel unnecessarily drawn out. The casting choices seemed arbitrary, as if they included everyone who attended a local horror convention.

Red Rooms, 2023 – ★★★

The film struggled to clarify the main character’s motives, which made it difficult to stay fully invested in the story. While the premise was intriguing, the lack of clear direction left me wanting more depth and understanding.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man, 2024 – ★★★

This third take on the character really worked for me, with Hellboy feeling like part of the ensemble rather than the central focus. The gothic horror setting was an excellent choice, adding a dark and immersive atmosphere to the story.

Deathstalker, 1983 – ★★★

I can’t believe it took me this long to finally watch—it was an absolute blast from start to finish. The mix of cheesy action and over-the-top adventure made it a fun ride.

Salem's Lot, 2024 – ★★

The film doesn’t bring anything new to the classic story, feeling more like a retread than a fresh take. The final confrontation, in particular, falls flat and ends up being unintentionally laughable.

It's What's Inside, 2024 – ★

This film is an incredibly grating experience, with much of the runtime feeling tedious and slow. While it shows some promise when it finally reaches a point, it’s too little too late to redeem the overall experience.

Things Will Be Different, 2024 – ★★★

The film starts with an intriguing concept, but there’s not enough happening to hold the audience’s attention. It feels like it needed more substance to fully deliver on its promising setup.

Azrael, 2024 – ★★

When making a film without dialogue, it’s crucial to provide enough visual clues to keep the story clear, and this one falls short. Without proper context, it becomes difficult to understand what’s happening, leaving me feeling lost.
