This movie was so controversial at the time that the Karen Moms of America “Reeeeeee’ed” so hard about it that they got the ads pulled, and then the film pulled from theaters. Seeing a slasher Santa was right up there with Dungeons & Dragons Satan worship when it came to the biggest threats to theContinue reading “Silent Night, Deadly Night”

Rare Exports
A hidden gem of a Christmas movie. Rare Exports is a holiday favorite of mine. Who doesn’t like a little horror mixed in with their holidays? The film is a nice mix of fantasy, action, and horror elements and gets all those elements just right. Rare Exports is set in Finland and the story concernsContinue reading “Rare Exports”
Violent Night
Violent Night is a great Christmas movie and is now on my ‘must-watch’ list for each and every Christmas from here on. To make a great Christmas movie, here are the ingredients you will need: Simply mix together, put on for 2 hours, and sit back and enjoy. Violent Night stars David Harbour, John Leguizamo,Continue reading “Violent Night”
Fatman
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”
31 Days of Horror – TARGETS
One of my movie articles from last movie oupost
31 Days OF Horror: X – THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES
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”
31 Days Of Horror: THE BURNING
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”
8MM
There have long been rumors and urban legends about the existence of “snuff” films. The idea of recording the murder of a person for commercial use. Not the same as most of the stuff found on some of the better, more highbrow website that has existed over the years. That’s all stuff caught on cameraContinue reading “8MM”
BONE TOMAHAWK
Bone Tomahawk is one of my all-time favorite films, horror or otherwise. It features a great cast, and some great acting, and it really establishes the mood in a realistic feeling time period… before it hits you with a gut punch like you have never had before. The only thing I can think of thatContinue reading “BONE TOMAHAWK”
The Guest
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”
