Part 2 gets all the hate, but at least it's entertaining. This movie sucks, and it's really boring too. The only copy you can get is full screen, which means it's bordering on the 90s era where nobody cared about the movie enough to preserve it right and give it a proper release.

We start out in a white hospital room where Richard Beymer is using our blind^bland female protagonist's psychic powers to jump start comatose Ricky's brain. Yeah, we're jumping the shark a bit with th... Continue »

Yes kids, it's time for another quiz. See how well you know the Psycho franchise with this 30 question trivia quiz. This covers the movies, the failed tv pilot in the 80s, and the recent tv series.

Remember, you are allowed 3 attempts to get your best score, and the higher your score is, the more pointless trash money you'll receive, so don't settle on a shitty attempt.

For the twelfth year, I present my survey of new turkeylands explored during November. Most years, I've found the first movie watched is an omen of things to come. If we're fortunate enough to watch a good one, especially if it's unexpectedly good, it's going to be a fun challenge. If we start with something awful, well, hard to get the sand out of the vaseline. This year, we started with 4/20 Massacre, a movie about a bunch of college girls who go out to the woods to talk about feminism and que... Continue »

Hey TE boarders

I have been wondering if there was an interest in a challenge considering the found footage style of filming. If I mention The Blair Witch Project, I guess everyone knows what I'm talking about. The movies are often shot in POV with handcam, sometimes really shaky and dark, and have usually also a documentary/mockumentary feeling. Originally this definition comes from filmed material of people lost that disappeared or ended up death, the footage being the last evidence of their... Continue »

After a bit of a wait, the show finally premiered on Syfy, and what do you know, it's actually off to a strong start! I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with the new episodes as they air, but I'm gonna try, damn it!

Our setup is pretty simple. A bullied middle school kid finds a Good Guy doll at a yard sale, and you can figure out where it goes from there. Of course, you've got Brad Dourif back where he belongs because Don Mancini is at the helm of this whole shindig, so he's doing it right.... Continue »

1) Use IMDb ratings.

1.0 = 6 points.
1.1-1.9 = 5 points.
2.0-2.9 = 4 points.
3.0-3.9 = 3 points.
4.0-4.4 = 2 points
4.5-4.9 = 1 point.

2) First time view = 1 point.

3) Can be any genre.

4) Trifectas. Director actors, and series. For director and actors you can bunch siblings and parent / children or grandparent / grandchildren.

5) A movie can only count towards one trifecta.

Single Trifecta - 5 points
Double Trifecta - 7 points
Triple Trifecta - 9 points
Etc.

6) ... Continue »

This was the first Todd Sheets movie I've seen, and it wasn't completely deplorable as one might expect. I still wouldn't say I liked it though, but this isn't a review. This is more of a compliment/complaint about the gore.

Yeah, the movie has a lot of gore, and it looks somewhat realistic and gross. The slicing through flesh is great, but the blood is inconsistent. Sometimes, it looks like normal dark blood, but other times it looks like goddamn ketchup.

But that isn't the real complaint. My... Continue »

So I had this thread on the IMDb Horror Board for like 2 years before it got deleted. Basically it is just a list filled with recs for action or crime exploitation films. Got a lot of recommendations and watched a bunch as I went through a phase but got away from it. Figure I might get to watching them again. Lots of people gave recs so some of you might remember. Anywho, if anyone wants to recommend some more that would be great or you can just use this list for recs as well.

I am looki... Continue »

Nightmares (1980, not the anthology one)
The Fourth Victim (1971)
Girls Night Out (1982)
Living in Peril (1997)

For a Billy Ray Cyrus movie with a 2.4 rating, I would have expected something a lot worse. I think people jump at the chance to give it a bad rating simply because it has Mr. Achy-Breaky Heart in it, but he does a decent job as the drifter Navy Seal vet who's being used by the government to stop an arms dealer in a podunk town.

When I was searching for this movie on Tubi, they only had the Rifftrax version, and I'll be damned if I let those fuckers talk throughout the whole movie trying to con... Continue »

Not the biggest score for turkey points, but these movies sure are a lot of fun. A 90s beefcake with long hair and his bland partner have to take down some Yakuza, with the big bad being Robert Z'Dar. Obviously, nobody in this movie knows Kung Fu nor do they act the part of a samurai, but it works as a crappy buddy cop movie, complete with gratuitious sex scenes and violent cops who never follow the rules. Full of cliches, including the angry captain and random-ass scenes of bad guys trying to a... Continue »

For a movie with a 3.5 on imdb, it wasn't terrible. I avoided it for a while because it's a sequel in concept only, but that isn't always a bad thing. The second movie wrapped up all those loose ends, so where do we go from there? Colorado, apparently.

Yeah, WTF is the fisherman from North Carolina doing in Colorado mountain territory? Well, our characters start their descent with a prank involving him because their too damn stupid to realize they're landlocked. It's like telling a story about... Continue »

In my room, I have 4 distinct shelves loaded to the brim with dvds that I've collected from the heydey of my youthful era of teenage angst and self-exploration. These titles are primarily (though not exclusively) horror films that struck my fancy when I was perhaps impressionable enough to deem them as essentials. Classics of the genre that stood the test of time.

However, some movies take a while to gain the appreciation they deserve, and some are billed as classics almost immediately. It's ha... Continue »

You know the type, takes place often in a small area, with some mystery guy behind it all, like

Cube
Fermats Room
Saw

A very Evil Dead/S-Mart inpired movie, starring Bruce Campbell, Devon Sawa, and Michael Jai White. This will be a must-see for me.

My sister renewed Netflix to watch "You" season 3 and told me to watch season 1, so I started an episode... next thing you know, I had binged the entire first season in one day.

Usually, it takes about half a season for me to know my stance on a show, but this show was pretty fucking good. I can't stop thinking about that ending.

Anybody watch it? If so, no spoilers, because I plan to start on season 2 in a couple of days.

I don't have a whole hell of a lot to say about these, but they were all right. As far as "modern" horror slasher types go, this was a cut above the rest. The various time frames is reminiscent of American Horror Story, only it doesn't suck ass. We didn't have all that dumb meta shit, the sets and costumes were spot on, the slashers were cool looking, it was definitely gory, the characters were likeable, and the soundtrack was fantastic. I felt like I was back in the 90s with the songs and style... Continue »
