Director: Chris Nash

Writer: Chris Nash

Stars: Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love

In a Violent Nature, directed by Chris Nash, is a bold and unconventional entry into the slasher genre. The film stands out for its unique perspective, focusing on the killer, Johnny, rather than the victims. This shift in viewpoint, combined with a vintage 4:3 aspect ratio and long, patient takes, gives the film an almost meditative quality, despite its hyper-violent content.

We Are Zombies Review

Directors: François Simard, Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell

Writers: Jerry Frissen, François Simard, Anouk Whissell

Stars: Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns, Megan Peta Hill

We Are Zombies is a peculiar creature of a film. It’s a zombie movie that’s more interested in hanging out at the local diner than devouring brains. It’s a comedy that leans heavily on crude humor, but also has a surprising heart. It’s a world where the undead are just trying to make a buck, and the living are a bunch of bumbling idiots.

The Coffee Table Review

Director: Caye Casas

Writers: Cristina Borobia, Caye Casas

Stars: David Pareja, Estefanía de los Santos, Josep Maria Riera

Caye Casas’ The Coffee Table is a masterclass in uncomfortable hilarity. This 2022 Spanish dark comedy isn’t for the faint of heart. It plunges us into the crumbling world of Jesús (David Pareja) and María (Estefanía de los Santos), a couple on the brink in the wake of a new baby. Their attempt to revitalize their home with a sleek new coffee table sets the stage for a series of disastrous encounters that spiral into the absurd.

Mad Heidi Review

Writers: Sandro Klopfstein, Johannes Hartmann, Gregory D. Widmer

Stars: Alice Lucy, Max Rüdlinger, Casper Van Dien

If ever the word “ridiculous” could be used as a descriptor in a positive light, it would have to be when referencing the movie Mad Heidi. It is certainly a wild ride. It felt like Quentin Tarantino and the Zucker brothers got together, smoked a joint or ten and began spitballing ideas.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Review

Director: David Blue Garcia

Writers: Chris Thomas Devlin, Fede Alvarez, Rodo Sayagues

Starring: Sarah Yarkin, Elsie Fisher, Mark Burnham

Well, here’s a big fat dose of what the fuck. This movie was so ridiculous that I was surprised to not see Anthony Michael Hall in it. I felt like I was sitting through a work meeting just to write this review. If there had been dance numbers performed by today’s modern equivalent of Prince and company I would have remained entirely nonplussed.

Starring: Morena Baccarin, William Shatner, Ray Wise

Wow. This movie was genuinely all over the place. That’s not to say it didn’t make sense or come together nicely at the end, but holy crap, what a rollercoaster ride it took to get there. Under normal circumstances I don’t recommend a movie in the first paragraph, but here you go: see To Your Last Death. You almost certainly will not be let down.

By Night’s End Review

October 18, 2020September 22, 2024 4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #horrorreviews – #ByNightsEnd –

Director: Walker Whited

Writers: Sean McCane, Walker Whited

Starring: Michelle Rose, Kurt Yue, Michael Aaron Milligan

Just to clear things up a bit right off the bat: By Night’s End is not a horror film. This isn’t a negative because it was actually a pretty good movie. That being said, this is a pretty straightforward home invasion thriller. Don’t expect there to be any supernatural boogeymen, vampires, zombies or a tremendous amount of gore. Instead, go into this movie expecting a stylish nail biter.

Legend Of The Muse Review

Director: John Burr

Writer: John Burr

Starring: Riley Egan, Elle Evans, Kate Mansi

“Romantic horror.” There, I said it. I know that when I personally think of the concept of romantic horror, aside from a few exceptions images conjure in my brain of leather-clad vampires a-la early 90s era Cinemax. Maybe it’s a very close-minded point of view (and I can readily admit that it is) but I have never been able to really wrap my mind around something heartfelt also being overtly gory.

The Tell Tale Heart Review

#horror – #horrormovies – #horrorreviews – #TheTellTaleHeart –

Director: McClain Lindquist

Starring: Sonny Grimsley, James C. Morris, Mikah Olsen

“Art is Long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating,
Funeral marches to the grave.”

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Tell Tale Heart starts with the poem of Longfellow, which we all can appreciate pertaining to this infamous story. Much appreciated is the retro-yet-recent feel of the movie. It is something to behold. We follow the caretakers journey in this short film caring for an old man, murder, and a descent into complete madness. Everything one could love about one of Poe’s infamous thrillers, really.

Butterfly Kisses Review

#horror – #horrormovies – #horrorreviews – #ButterflyKisses –

Director: Erik Kristopher Myers

Writer: Erik Kristopher Myers

Starring: Rachel Armiger, Reed DeLisle, Matt Lake

Synopsis: Found footage and urban legend come together in chilling fashion in this unsettling film, shot on location in Ellicott City, Maryland. Gavin York, a wedding videographer sorting through used tapes, uncovers hours of footage shot by two student filmmakers obsessed with an apocryphal figure known as Peeping Tom. Followed by a documentary film crew, Gavin pursues the truth of the students’ fate, while also seeking fame and fortune by editing their “”found footage”“ into a film of his own. What he discovers instead is doubt and ridicule from all who view it, and allegations of a hoax designed to launch Gavin’s filmmaking career. As his obsession grows, Gavin leads the documentary film crew down the same dangerous path taken by the student filmmakers eleven years prior, all while a terrifying urban legend lies in wait.

Inoperable Review

#horror – #horrormovies – #horrorreviews – #Inoperable –

Director: Christopher Lawrence Chapman

Writers: Christopher Lawrence Chapman, Jeff Miller

Starring: Danielle Harris, Jeff Denton, Katie Keene

When I first heard about Inoperable and saw the trailer, I was honestly looking forward to seeing it. It sounded and looked interesting. The concept seemed new and fresh. It also didn’t hurt that lifelong scream queen Danielle Harris was in the starring role. Unfortunately, all of these elements combined still resulted in a film that is slightly above mediocre. That’s not to say it was completely unwatchable; it just wasn’t the movie I had psyched myself up for.

There’s a feeling you get when you sit down to view a movie and you’re under the impression that you have a pretty good idea of what you’re about to watch, only to find out that no, you in fact were not adequately prepared for this movie. This is what Desolation did for me, in leaps and bounds.

Every now and again, a horror movie comes along that really knows how to push every single one of your buttons in just the right way. Whether it brings the perfect amount of suspense or gore, it just really makes you happy that you took the time to watch it. Better Watch Out definitely serves that purpose.
