At The Devil’s Door (2014) #HorrorMovie Review

At the Devil’s Door (2014) has been on my watch list for a while, and when I finally found it among the million channels I have from my TV services, I was excited to see it. Too bad, my expectations were set way too high. You’d think from the poster on its own that it was going to be creepy and scary; it’s a demonic possession movie after all. The opening sequence starts with an intense game of…

The Curse of La Patasola (2022) #couples #horror

The Curse of La Patasola (2022) #couples #horror

The blurb on IMDb says this to describe The Curse of La Patasola (2022), On a weekend camping trip, two struggling couples are haunted by La Patasola, a famed vampiric monster from Amazonian folklore, testing their relationships, morality, and will to survive. I expected two things from this description: this movie was going to scare me good, and it’s set in the Amazon. It’s not in the Amazon,…

Dreamaniac (1986) #Slasher #Horror

Dreamaniac (1986) #Slasher #Horror

Oh my. Did they ever make some strange horror movies in the 1980s. I think Dreamaniac (1986) is one of the most bizarre of the decade. Most of the time, I kept thinking it was soft porn because of all the sex happening and not much more. The gore in this low-budget-direct-to-video film wasn’t horrible, but the acting was, and that is why it was amazing. Oh, and another thing, the storyline made…

Terror Train (1980) #Horror #Classic #Slasher

In Terror Train (1980), Jamie Lee Curtis plays Alana Maxwell, who is reluctant to go on the New Year’s Party with her college friends because of a prank that went wrong during pledge night. Well, she was right. She shouldn’t have gone. No one should have, including David Copperfield. This movie has been on my list to rewatch for a while, and it finally showed up on one of the thousand channels…

Queen of the Damned (2002) #Vampire #Boredom

Queen of the Damned (2002) #Vampire #Boredom

For some reason, I never saw Queen of the Damned (2002) until recently. I remember all the drama around it, including Aaliyah’s death, and I think that’s why I never bothered. Based on the title, I thought it would be more about Akasha than it was, and I kept looking at the female cast, thinking, that’s not Aaliyah. When she finally did appear, I was bored, as the role didn’t make sense to me.…

As Above, So Below (2014) #HorrorMovie Review

As Above, So Below (2014) #HorrorMovie Review

As Above, So Below (2014) is a found footage film, at least it’s not in the woods, so that’s a start. Per usual to this type of movie, it started exciting then went bland, but at least the acting isn’t horrible. Ben Feldman from Cloverfield (2008) and the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th is the only actor I recognize. So if The Da Vinci Code (2003) and The Blair Witch Project (1999) had a baby As…
