A Haunting in Salem (2011)

A Haunting in Salem is a well put-together little ghost film and nothing like the schlocky, goofball experience I was expecting.

I Am Alone (2015)

While the rest of the film plays out along a more traditional narrative line, Fitts’ struggle is key to what makes I am Alone stand out.

Red Christmas (2016)

October 17, 2017 1 13

Red Christmas has no qualms about making a bloody, gory, transgressive instant holiday horror classic.

Talon Falls (2017)

October 13, 2017 0 219

That it kind of forces the story to follow a predictable path is a minus, but with enough innovation and imagination, Talon Falls could have been something very culty classicy.

Bad Blood (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 12, 2017 0 24

On the scale of Australian horror, from Dead Calm to Wyrmwood, this film falls squarely in the Dead Calm camp.

The Forlorned (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 11, 2017 0 21

It’s a haunted house story. The events are tied to an historical incident on the island. Boom.

They Remain (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 7, 2017 0 3

They Remain just doesn’t take any risks and there’s ultimately little to no payoff.

Tonight She Comes (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 5, 2017 0 55

Believe me when I tell you, FIGHT THE URGE TO TURN THIS OFF AND WALK AWAY.

It Stains the Sands Red (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

September 27, 2017 0 42

This is a film that lives or dies on the performance of the lead, and Allen brings hidden depths to the role and owns every scene.

Wonder Woman Blu-ray (2017)

September 19, 2017 1 16

Director Patty Jenkins understands the importance of heroism and inspiration.

The Flash: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray

Luckily, the show starts to right itself in the back half of the season.

Advance Review: Kong: Skull Island Blu-ray

Paul Brian McCoy

July 16, 2017 1 26

Personally, I can’t get enough of Tom Hiddleston in a gas mask running through vivid green clouds of toxic gas killing monster lizard birds with a samurai sword.

Twin Peaks 3.07-3.08

Paul Brian McCoy

July 4, 2017 1 22

Watching Twin Peaks: The Return makes me feel like Jerry. I think I’m high and I don’t know where I am.

Peelers (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

June 30, 2017 0 78

Yes, for a zombie movie set in a strip club that features waterworks and farting to music, Peelers is remarkably conservative at times.

It Comes at Night (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

June 17, 2017 0 14

Never do anything nice for anyone. You’re not paranoid if they’re really out to get you.

Twin Peaks 3.05-3.06

Paul Brian McCoy

June 15, 2017 0 13

Hopefully people will still want to talk about Twin Peaks in TWELVE MORE FUCKING WEEKS.

Advance Review: The Lego Batman Movie Blu-ray

Paul Brian McCoy

June 12, 2017 0 17

Will Arnett reprises his Batman from The Lego Movie, with a heaping helping of egomania and bull-headedness.

Twin Peaks 3.01-3.04

Paul Brian McCoy

May 29, 2017 0 22

What was groundbreaking for Twin Peaks is now a standard that has to be met on a regular basis.

A Dark Song (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

May 1, 2017 0 32

A Dark Song is an instant classic.

EZMM 2017 Day 9: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 18, 2017 0 11

Ultimately, I didn't really feel that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies really brought all that much to the table beyond the novelty of its source material.
