Witchery (1988) #Haunted #Horror
Witchery (1988) #Haunted #Horror
Witchery (1988) aka La Casa 4 – Witchcraft in Italy) has an interesting cast, including David Hasselhoff and Linda Blair. That’s not where the strangeness ends for this film. It’s set at a hotel on a remote island where Gary and his girlfriend Leslie are researching the lore around it. It has moments where I thought it was going to be like The Shining (1980); the next thing I know, it’s like The…

Review: Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby
Samantha Irby is a genuinely hilarious writer who is best known for her essays (which she often turns into books) and her work as a writer on TV shows such as And Just Like That. She’s always been brutally honest about the highs and lows of her life, and that is no different in her latest work, Quietly Hostile. This new book of essays is incredibly insightful and well-written. This book of…

Studio 666 (2022) #RockandRoll #Horror
Studio 666 (2022) started strong; too bad it didn’t keep me entranced. As I watched, I kept thinking, Are the Foo Fighters still a thing? I’m sure I’ve heard their music on the radio, but for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you the title of one. And when they appeared on the screen, I had no idea who they were, except that they were not actors. Supposedly it’s a horror comedy, but it felt like a…

Raven’s Hollow (2022) #Poe #Horror
Raven’s Hollow (2022) is about events that happened to Edgar Allan Poe while he was a cadet in West Point and the alleged inspiration for The Raven. I’m a Poe fan to the point of his written works. I do not go past that. I know little about his life except that he was haunted and had a drug problem. (I think that’s right.) There wasn’t a blurb I remember seeing at the beginning that said this was…

The Initiation (1984) #80sFlashback #Horror
The Initiation (1984) is about Kelly going through hell week to join a sorority. Meanwhile, she’s had reoccurring nightmares since childhood and is working with Peter to do dream analysis. To get into the sorority, she and the remaining pledges must get into her father’s department store (it looked like a Mall to me) and steal the guard’s uniform. Well, the prank goes amock when Kelly gets…

Beyond the Door (1974) #1FromTheVaults #Horror
Beyond the Door (1974) also has the names Who are you? and Devil Within Her. There’s also a movie called The Devil Within Her (1976), aka I Don’t Want to Be Born, starring Joan Collins that is very similar. As the film began, the first thing that came to mind was who fucked up Dimitri’s beard? Seriously. Who did that? Hair and makeup did a number on it, and in every scene he was present, I was…

They/Them (2022) #LGBTQ #Slasher #Horror
They/Them (2022) brings LGBTQ+ horror to the front in this strangely delightful slasher. While it has some great stabby-stabby scenes, it’s not very frightening. That’s because Blumhouse seems to make so much horror-lite content anymore that I can’t remember being scared. It takes place in an LGBTQ+ conversion camp run by Owen Whistler (Kevin Bacon); I’m so glad he plays an asshole well. And…

Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1983) #Lost80s #Slasher #Horror
Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1983) is about Evelyn, who sneaks through tunnels under cabins to kill people after she killed her daughter for doing witchcraft. I have so many questions about this film that didn’t get answered. The biggest one is why Evelyn was triggered when she caught Lorie practicing witchcraft? Mixed with the blandness that lingers for a bit too long from time to time are some…
