Basket Case, 1982

One of the great micro-budget horror movies of the 1980s. Belial is an all-time great horror movie antagonist even though he was made so cheaply he can’t do much of anything.

Eighth Grade, 2018

Wow, what a movie. It had me smiling and cringing the entire time. I’m glad those years are far, far behind me. One of the best films of 2018 for sure.

The Predator, 2018

It was just kind of fine overall. I dislike movies when the characters make wild leaps of logic and know exactly what is going on out of the total blue. I like my plot points earned.

Beyond the Black Rainbow, 2010

I’m not quite sure what I just watched here. It was like a weird love child of David Cronenberg and Dario Argento. It did make me even more excited to see the director’s next film MANDY.

Arizona, 2018

This movie made me an even bigger Danny McBride fan. You know the guy can do comedy but who knew he could pull off full menace too? I also have to give special mention to the Kaitlin Olson death scene. That was hilarious and brutal.

The Prowler, 1981

One of those lost 80s slasher movies. The story is pretty bad but the Tom Savini effects are to notch.

The Road Movie, 2016

I would barely call this a movie. Just a bunch of so-so clips from YouTube. I was expecting some crazy stuff to go down but nothing ever really did.

Testament, 1983

Nuclear war from the point of view of a single family in Northern California. I did appreciate the mother’s attempts at keeping her family together even though we all know how it will all end.

The Day After, 1983

More melodramatic than its British counterpart Threads. I think knowing a lot of the actors in this movie took me out of it a bit. The attack sequence is still very powerful.

Rampage, 2018

Not nearly as fun as I was hoping it would be. I have to give it up for The Rock tho, that guy never phones it in.
