Last Night in Soho is a beautifully shot and inventively edited story of love, fashion, ghosts, mental illness, and Sixties nostalgia.

Antlers is a film that truly delivers on every level except maybe the balance between psychological and supernatural horror.

Visually and narratively, Brand New Cherry Flavor is a cornucopia of color, textures, gore, sexuality, and satire.

Blood Quantum satisfies all my zombie film cravings and is one of the strongest genre entries in years.

EZMM 2021 Day 8.2: [Rec] 4: Apocalypse (2014)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2021 0 8

Anyway, [Rec] 4: Apocalypse is a perfectly fine zombie movie set on a boat.

EZMM 2021 Day 8.1: [Rec] 3: Genesis (2012)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2021 0 7

Granted, [Rec] 3: Genesis doesn’t really break new ground, but it is solid at what it does.

EZMM 2021 Day 7.2: [Rec]2 (2009)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 4, 2021 0 12

[Rec] 2 opens with the final shot of the previous film before shifting our focus to a new set of cameras.

EZMM 2021 Day 7.1: [Rec] (2007)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 4, 2021 0 10

[Rec] is a film that puts people in peril and then steps on the gas, refusing to let up until the shocking final moments.

EZMM 2021 Day 6: Dead Shack (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 3, 2021 0 2

Dead Shack is not heavy on scares and the zombies are practically an afterthought, but if you like juvenile humor there’s a dark streak to this film that delivers in the end.

If there was ever a film that deserved to be seen on as big a screen as possible, it’s Godzilla vs. Kong.

EZMM 2021 Day 5: Night of the Seagulls (1975)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 2, 2021 0 21

While the ending of Night of the Seagulls isn’t a bombastic action-packed finale, I wasn’t as dissatisfied as many other reviewers.

EZMM 2021 Day 4: The Ghost Galleon (1974)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 1, 2021 0 10

The Ghost Galleon is essentially another reboot/reimagining of the basic concept of undead, blood-drinking, flesh eating Templar knights with little to no relation to the previous two films.

EZMM Day 3: Return of the Blind Dead (1973)

Paul Brian McCoy

March 31, 2021 0 43

Return of the Blind Dead is a marked improvement over the first film, despite Tombs being a solid entry in the genre.

EZMM 2021 Day 2: Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

Paul Brian McCoy

March 30, 2021 0 9

Tombs of the Blind Dead is an artful and well-paced film that looks great but leans a bit too heavily into misogyny to reach its climax.

EZMM 2021 Day 1: Train to Busan Presents – Peninsula (2020)

Paul Brian McCoy

March 29, 2021 0 3

Peninsula is bigger, a little dumb, but has a great Escape from New York/John Wick/Fury Road vibe that really resonated with me.

Without a doubt, Zack Snyder's Justice League is the better film than Josstice League could have ever hoped to be.

Advance Review: Bad Girls (2021)

Paul Brian McCoy

February 9, 2021 0 7

Bad Girls is a kaleidoscopic fever dream of rapid-fire cuts, over-the-top violence, psychedelic drug orgies, raging punk metal screams, and dashes of existential angst.
