Lay back and enjoy being inferior. Wow, after eleven years of doing this, I don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable watching a movie. It wasn't the typical horror suspense uncomfortable just uncomfortable watching. As uncomfortable and disturbed by all those people boycotting Netflix because of Cuties except I actually watched the movie. Other than some instances of suspense and torture, I am having trouble seeing how The Last House on the Left keeps getting classified as a horror film. I'm imagining all the ruined nights and relationships of all the naive couples that went to go watch this in the theater in 1972. I can see it being designated as a thriller, barely, but let's call a spade a spade, this is a snuff film through and through. In the first five minutes we learn that the protagonist is turning seventeen and then we see shots of her topless in the shower. Why? Granted, this is a 1970's version o...

All men really want is the power you give them. Typically, when somebody moves into a new house, it is not haunted, even if they are a bad person. However, C.M. Punk is special and in Girl on the third Floor , the house must have thought he could handle it. This movie starts out great and then towards the end, falls flatter than two-day old Pepsi. (C.M.

This movie is only a year old so I will not give away any big spoilers so keep reading to see if this is something you would be interested in. The movie opens up with some stills from objects around the house, giving it a surreal vibe reminiscent of The Shining. The protagonist Don Koch (played by Punk) shows up with his cute German Shepherd Cooper. He just bought this house which needs major interior repairs and we see that ...
April Fool's! In the interest of transparency, tonight's screening was chosen based solely on the VHS box art I remember seeing at my local video rental place in the 80's/early 90's. As with a whole lot of 80's horror movies, the box art was what sold the movie to anyone not familiar with the work, especially children who were not supposed to watch such scary movies. The caveat to that is that the box art frequently had scenes or characters not in the actual movie, it's what made me rent Dead Alive (boy was I disappointed). In this case, the box art has a woman with her back towards the box holding a knife and her long hair is tied into a noose. Although this scene was not in the movie, I was still able to enjoy this original and entertaining movie, I mean, just look at the picture I posted above, way better than noose hair. Having never seen or heard anything specific about this movie, I did not know what to expect. I briefly read the logline and let...
