Fatman stars Mel Gibson as Santa Claus in the modern world. Tired, disillusioned, and grumpy but still cares deeply. After getting into trouble with the IRS he has to put the elves to work filling a contract with the US Government. You know, that old chestnut. Meanwhile, a spoiled and mean little bastard who didn’tContinue reading “Fatman”

One of my movie articles from last movie oupost

X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes is one of those high-quality films that managed to slip out of the Roger Corman factory of cheap crap. It hits a level of genuine creepiness that is rarely achieved by Corman. Dr. James Xavier is a good man and a good doctor. He has been researching a wayContinue reading “31 Days OF Horror: X – THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES”

After Friday The 13th hit big, there was a rush to cash in on that popularity. A lot of knock-offs came and went. The Burning is not one of them. It had been in various states of concept and production before Mrs.V went on her rampage of revenge. It is based around some Yankee urbanContinue reading “31 Days Of Horror: THE BURNING”

The only thing I can think of thatContinue reading “BONE TOMAHAWK”

Every once in a while a movie will come along that combines and distills down everything I love in movies. Violence, action, synthwave soundtrack, neon lighting, 1980s movie cliches. All that shit. The Guest is one of those movies. Adam Wingard directed this absolute classic masterclass long before he was handed the reins to Godzilla.Continue reading “The Guest”

Back in 2018, an awesome film from Blumhouse just slipped out. Upgrade is a cyberpunk revenge thriller that is very violent and ultra-dark. The story is set in the near future, where humanity is getting into Ghost In The Shell territory with cybernetic upgrades, a Panopticon society, and enough to technology to make Ted KContinue reading “Upgrade 2018”

Oh boy. It’s that time. Time to talk about the kind of horror films that I really love, but others argue have no redeeming value at all. Films that makes you feel like you should take a shower after watching. I’d argue that typical NPC smooth-brain thinking is what keeps people away from these movies.Continue reading “Maniac”
