Skinamarink is not a perfect film, but it’s so weird and singular that we might not change a thing about it.

Episode 134 – V/H/S/99

November 20, 2022Anthology, Found Footage, Horror Comedy, New Release, Period Piece, Sequel, Shudder OriginalCreep, Creep 2, War of the Worlds (2005), WNUF Halloween Specialshockdoctors

V/H/S/99 marks the series’ full-on tonal shift into Creepshow-esque horror comedy, which ultimately proves detrimental. Better than V/H/S Viral, but that’s not saying much.

Episode 123 – The Sadness

August 14, 2022Foreign Film, New Release, Shudder Original, Zombies28 Days Later, Climax, Event Horizon, Rob Jabbaz, The Crazies (2010), The Devils, The Happeningshockdoctors

With suitably gooshy effects and occasionally inspired mayhem, The Sadness is nonetheless often handicapped by its own excesses, falling awkwardly between being too unpleasant and not unpleasant enough.

V/H/S/94 is a vast improvement over its immediate predecessor, but lags behind the first two films, providing a goofy, grindhouse atmosphere but forgetting to be frightening.

March 21, 2021Foreign Film, Shudder OriginalGuatemala, Guillermo del Toro, Jayro Bustamante, Jose Efrain Rios Montt, La Llorona, Pan's Labyrinth, Tales From the Hood, The Devil's Backbone, The Twilight Zoneshockdoctors

Not to be confused with the James Wan-produced mess that we reviewed a while back, Jayro Bustamante’s film gives the well-worn legend a politically-conscious twist.

The deft noir flourishes and political subtext of Jeff Barnaby’s zombie thriller complement, rather than detract from, the delightfully gooshy practical effects and post-apolcalyptic chaos.
