William Brent Bell’s latest is a cut above most of his other work, which is to say it’s a run-of-the-mill folk horror film with a lousy ending.

For a sub-80-minute film, Sick feels weirdly bloated, and yet at the same time, suffers from a disappointing lack of ambition.

Episode 137 – Something in the Dirt

While intriguing and loaded with personality, Something in the Dirt would have benefited from a little more structure and stronger distinctions between John and Levi’s dialogue.

September 4, 2022New Release, Slasher, VOD ReleaseJohn Logan, Kevin Bacon, Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, Safe (1995), Sleepaway Campshockdoctors

They/Them is a poorly scripted, entirely muddled mess, a shallow coming-of-age trauma-bonding teen drama with a vestigial slasher film appendage.

This blatant Body Snatchers knockoff has nothing to contribute to the formula, except an unnecessarily convoluted life cycle for the pod people.

Matt and Jim can’t decide which is more horrifying: Hunter’s marriage, or her rapidly escalating case of pica. Just kidding – it’s definitely her marriage.

May 2, 2021Horror Comedy, New Release, Possession, VOD ReleaseBob and Kathy, Chuck-E-Cheese, Drive Angry, Five Nights at Freddy's, Mandy, Nicolas Cage, Westworldshockdoctors

Those hoping for dose of vintage Cage Rage from this Five Nights at Freddy’s knockoff will be sorely disappointed. In Matt’s words, “Cage spent too much of the movie faffing about, or should I say, FNAFing about.”
