While I appreciate some things about this film, such as the mystery and the occasionally high levels of violence, having seen this twice, I've consistently felt underwhelmed. I wish more background was delved into, and as the movie stands, I don't think it's that great or particularly memorable.

What are your thoughts on this independent Spanish movie?

Despite the fact that The Swarm runs two-and-a-half hours, I find the movie rather worth it. There are some segments that don't really feel like they fit in, but otherwise, the cast is strong, the disaster-feel great, and there's a lot to like here.

What do you think about this bee disaster flick?

Yeah, this sequel is pretty poor and certainly nothing compared to the first film, despite some decently solid gore.

What do you think about this rather underwhelming movie?

While the first time I saw this I might have liked it, seeing this remake again really showed how stale and Hollywood the whole thing was. There were some decent scenes and performances, no doubt, but the movie as a whole definitely fell below average.

Have any thoughts on this remake?

The problems that keep this film from fulfilling it's potential are twofold, one being the unnecessary final twenty minutes, and two, regrettably idiotic choices by one of the characters, which just leaves you screaming at the screen. Otherwise, this movie was filmed well, and carries a few surprises, but the elongated ending felt pointless, and as such, I just find the movie average.

What are your opinions on What Keeps You Alive?

While occasionally a bit too goofy, this 60's movie is something of a Corman classic, and if you can stand the lower budget and silliness, you might have fun. I'd recommend watching it in the original black-and-white, but there are colored versions also.

What do you think about this campy classic?



FEED ME!!!

While I love much about this film, from the suspenseful scenes to the 80's retro music, I don't think it's as memorable as it should be. The movie's quite solid, but it doesn't really stick with you after watching it, and having seen it twice, while I recommend it, I don't think it's the best film from the last year at all.

What are your thoughts on this stylistic flick?

Toward the end of the film, they explain a bit more than they really need to, which sort of hurts the mysterious feel that worked well in the first film, and much of this one. It felt unnecessary, and while otherwise the second in this proposed trilogy is decent, the ending just rubs me the wrong way.

What are your thoughts on this sequel?

The main problem with this Fulci entry isn't entirely unexpected, being the somewhat incoherent plot the film sometimes pushes. The gore is, of course, fantastic (the bat attack, in particular, was cheesy fun), but I couldn't get over some of the unexplained subplots, and that brought the film down a bit for me.

What do you think about this Fulci entry to the genre?

Yeah, this is a pretty generic slasher with little going for it aside from a cute Latina chick (Aimee Garcia) and an interesting plot twist. Virtually none of the kills were memorable, though, and the execution of the twist lacked something. This one had potential, but it didn't quite make it. Certainly a below-average flick, I wouldn't recommend this one.

What are your thoughts on this hideously-titled movie?

Yeah, this British film boasted a decent story, but it's been done before, and it's been done better. This was a stuffy, and pretty uninspired, and certainly not worth watching, despite a few okay scenes.

What are your thoughts on this dry British flick?

Despite the runtime of two hours and ten minutes, Apostle never feels like it's dragging, and the story's engrossing enough to really pull you in. The story's fantastic, the gore is great, and the ending is decently interesting in it's approach.

What are your thoughts on this Netflix flick?

The story's competent, but it's been done before in better movies, such as Most Likely to Die (2015) and Don't Go to the Reunion (2013), and this one feels a lot more soulless as opposed to those other films. The production's fine, but it felt soulless, and I can't really forgive that.

What are your thoughts on this slasher?

Were it not for some rapid-fire British accents, I think I'd like The Terror a lot more. Even now, the story is perfectly enjoyable, the ghostly monk is always appreciated, and the characters are generally fun. But some of the dialogue is hard to make up, especially given the quality of the print isn't great, so that causes some issues.

What do you think about this British movie?

One of the better Syfy films of recent times, Cucuy: The Boogeyman has a lot going for it. Solid characters, a decent story, even a somewhat interesting conclusion, this movie isn't nearly as bad as one might expect from a Syfy original.

What do you think about this film?

Vampyr has solid style but little comprehension. Often called a classic, I never really have cared for this one, though I admit it had potential.

What are your thoughts on this early 30's flick?

The Mist isn't a perfect movie, but it's close. With a great cast, a solid story, and pointing out the dangerous impact of religion, The Mist is a lot of fun, also with a great ending that, for some reason, turns some people off. Pretty good movie, and well-worth calling a modern-day classic in the genre.

What are your thoughts on Stephen King's The Mist?

I don't love Jaws, but I appreciate the second half of the film. There are some dull portions in this two-hour long film, which I think is what mostly holds it back. Once it's the three main characters on their small ship going after the shark, things really pick up.

What are your thoughts on this classic?

Sharknado's definitely not a good movie, but I have found it fun both times I've seen it. It's very much so below average, but if you can have fun with it, then you might be able to get by okay. Special effects are utterly horrible, but it's a Syfy/Asylum flick, so what else would you expect?

What are your thoughts on this rather ridiculous movie?

Thinner suffers from some acting issues. It's true that Joe Mantegna really helps, but he can't fix the subpar story or the somewhat silly scenes throughout the film. The ending was also hard to really take seriously, despite it being somewhat dark.

What are your thoughts of this film based off a Bachman (Stephen King) novel?
