- DirectorMcGStarsJudah LewisSamara WeavingJenna OrtegaTwo years after Cole survived a satanic blood cult, he's living another nightmare: high school. And the demons from his past? Still making his life hell.6/10 - I liked the first movie, but I was hoping for something different with this sequel. Sadly it's just more of the same. Still a decent watch thanks to the alright comedy and good gore tho.
- DirectorPadraig ReynoldsStarsJessica MadsenOpal LittletonEd BrodyA woman returns to her family home and discovers it to be inhabited by monsters.5/10 - Pacing issues, too many cliched pop up scares. Okay story.
- DirectorSophon SakdaphisitStarsNamthip 'Bee' JongrachatawiboonNichapalak ThongkhamThunyaphat PattarateerachaicharoenIb and Boum decide to commit suicide together in Bangkok in 1997. After reneging on the promise, the vengeful ghost of Ib returns 20 years later to haunt Boum and her 15 year old daughter, Bell.6/10 - Some good atmosphere and okay scares, but too dramatic at times and way longer than it needed to be.
- DirectorNick SimonStarsCassandra ScerboBrytni SarpyMason DyeEight college friends head to a "Haunted Rental" for Halloween. But when they replay the game that made the house infamous, they awaken an evil spirit intent on stealing their souls.5/10 - Pacing was decent, but everything else was cliched trash.
- DirectorPatrick BriceStarsKaran SoniMark DuplassDesiree AkhavanA video artist looking for work drives to a remote house in the forest to meet a man claiming to be a serial killer. But after agreeing to spend the day with him, she soon realizes that she made a deadly mistake.6/10 - I liked how it wasn't just a retread of the first, but that's about it. I thought he first was decent and this is also decent, nothing more, nothing less.
- DirectorJosh RubenStarsJosh RubenAya CashChris ReddDuring a power outage, two strangers tell scary stories. The more Fred and Fanny commit to their tales, the more the stories come to life in their Catskills cabin. The horrors of reality manifest when Fred confronts his ultimate fear.5/10 - I don't know what I was expecting here--it is literally just two people telling "scary" stories and that's it. I like the characters, but the concept gets old fast.
- DirectorKurtis David HarderStarsJeffrey Bowyer-ChapmanAri CohenJune LaporteA same-sex couple move to a small town to enjoy a better quality of life and raise their daughter with strong social values. But when neighbors throw a very strange party, nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighborhood.5/10 - Too slow and honestly kinda boring. And sadly once it starts getting good, it ends. Oh well.
- DirectorBrandon ChristensenStarsKeegan Connor TracyJett KlyneSean RogersonA family finds themselves terrorized by their eight-year-old son's imaginary friend.6/10 - Predictable, but better than expected with some semi-decent scares
- DirectorArielle CiminoJeff RyanStarsGeena SantiagoJeff RyanScott SwayzeA group of salem witch trial reenactors find themselves at the center of a modern day witch hunt.5/10 - The concept is funnier than the movie itself, but comedy is subjective, so others may dig it more than me. At least it's barely over an hour, so it didn't overstay its welcome.
- DirectorJay DahlStarsAmy GroeningT. ThomasonMarietta LaanA college student unwittingly releases terrifying entities from her school's past via a Halloween themed computer meme.6/10 - Surprisingly decent movie. Ending was a bit silly though.
- DirectorOz RodriguezStarsJaden MichaelGerald JonesGregory Diaz IVA group of young friends from the Bronx fight to save their neighborhood from gentrification...and vampires.6/10 - Very predictable and brings nothing new to the table, but I liked the kids and the pacing is decent. A bit cheesy at the end, but an otherwise decent watch overall.
- DirectorBrea GrantStarsAngela BettisJulianne DowlerTom DeTrinisBodies start to pile up when a drug-user nurse and her cousin try to find a replacement kidney for an organ trafficker.6/10 - Semi-interesting story and characters. More amusing than funny. Ultimately a decent watch.
- DirectorJud CremataStarsTroy Leigh-Anne JohnsonIsabel MayOdessa A'zionA group of teen girls set out to scare their reclusive new neighbor, but the prank turns to terror when some of them don't come back.4/10 - Boring, completely unlikable characters, barely anything happens. Waste of time.
- DirectorJulius BergStarsMaisie WilliamsSylvester McCoyRita TushinghamA group of friends think they've found an easy score at an empty house with a safe full of cash, but when the elderly owners arrive home things begin to go awry.6/10 - The evil owners theme is a bit tired, but it still turned out to be a decent home invasion flick.
- DirectorGerard BushChristopher RenzStarsJanelle MonáeEric LangeJena MaloneSuccessful author Veronica Henley finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late.6/10 - Decent movie and it kept my interest for the most part, despite the ridiculous twist.
- DirectorDaniel PetersonStarsLiane CurtisDana AshbrookLezlie DeaneThe inventor of the condom-- now God's bounty hunter- is tasked with tracking down and capturing the Devil, who has possessed the body of a high school wallflower in order to feed on human souls via sex.5/10 - Might've seen this before, but can't remember. Either way, super cheesy movie, but fairly entertaining.
- DirectorThierry NotzStarsAndrew StevensStarr AndreeffGeorge KennedyWhen chemical warfare leaves the world barren and filled with mutated monsters, a band of survivors in an underground complex battle one of the creatures that was able to break in.4/10 - Don't remember if I've seen this Alien ripoff, but I watched it either way and now I wished I hadn't. Kinda boring with a dumb looking creature and it takes itself too seriously when it shouldn't.
- DirectorLuca BercoviciStarsStella StevensShannon WhirryLuca BercoviciGranny's family wants her dead so they can collect her insurance. While she is on her death bed, she drinks an eternal life potion and returns to the land of the living. She is on a mission to wreak havoc over her greedy relatives.6/10 - This somehow slipped by me in the 90's, probably because the cover art looked so familiar that I thought I had already seen it. Either way, super cheesy, but fun flick.
- DirectorSimon NuchternStarsBelinda MontgomeryViveca LindforsSolly MarxA criminally insane man is accidentally released from a mental hospital. The staff tries to cover it up, but a young psychiatrist travels to the college town where he committed several murders to warn the locals and anticipate his arrival.4/10 - Pretty boring for a slasher.
- DirectorBradford MayStarsAndy GriffithJohn RitterMary-Margaret HumesAfter a lengthy search, lawyer Clarke MacGruder finally locates his long-lost father Jack. At first, everything seems fine with his new extended family, until the two set off on a hunting trip and Jack reveals a violent streak to his nature.6/10 - Andy Griffith is such an evil bastard in this. It's these types of made-for-tv movies that are guilty pleasures.
- DirectorRodney GibbonsStarsRod SteigerLinda KozlowskiRon LeaBoy loves mother who dies giving birth. Boy kills baby brother. 50 years later boy, now doctor, sells a neighboring house cheaply to a pregnant woman who looks like his mom and wants to be her doctor. Will he also kill her unborn son?6/10 - Rod Steiger playing mind games and being a crazy obsessive neighbor? Yes, please.
- DirectorNico MastorakisStarsMeg FosterWings HauserDavid McCallumA popular crime novelist moves to a historic Greek village during the off-season in order to write her next book, but gets more than she bargained for when she strongly suspects a man of committing murder.6/10 - Surprisingly decent movie, I'd even go as far as saying it's underrated.
- DirectorRusty CundieffDarin ScottStarsTony ToddLondon BrownCooper HuckabeeFollowing the franchise's cult classic roots, this new anthology, featuring Tony Todd and Lynn Whitfield, scares and thrills with horrifying twists and social commentary.6/10 - The movie has it's share of problems, but it's nowhere near as bad as the last one. Better production values, better acting and better stories more in line with the original. A decent watch overall.
- DirectorDavid SchmoellerStarsPaul Le MatWilliam HickeyIrene MiraclePsychics find themselves plotted against by a former colleague, who committed suicide after discovering animated, murderous puppets.6/10 - Revisited this on VHS. Some pacing issues, but still enjoyable.
- DirectorSteven BrillStarsAdam SandlerKevin JamesJulie BowenDespite his devotion to his hometown of Salem (and its Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something is going bump in the night, and it's up to Hubie to save Halloween.4/10 - The fast forward button was made for movies like this. I honestly don't know what I was expecting, this is just a terrible movie all around. Hated Sandler in it and I didn't laugh once.
