Upcoming Movie Themes

It's Haunted House Week!

Last week I watched much more than I was able to review. It's October and the humidity is still 90%. Last night when I was trying to go to bed I had the window open and it was 52 degrees outside but still 75 degrees inside and the heat is turned OFF. Huzzah.

SharkMan (2005)

SharkMan (2005) RELEASED June 18, 2005 RUNTIME 92 mins DIRECTOR Michael Oblowitz WRITER Monty Featherstone (screenplay) STARS William Forsythe, Hunter Tylo, Jeffrey Combs COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English STUDIOS Nu Image, Active Entertainment, Equity Pictures Medienfonds GmbH & Co. KG II, Harbor Productions GENRES Action, Horror, Science Fiction Streaming on: TubiTV The plot: Oh God, there are two of these. There's a 2001 TV Movie called Sharkman, which has the same characters and even William Forsythe, but it is a different Sharkman. This is 2005's SharkMan and has Jeffrey Combs. However, the artwork on TubiTV is actually from the 2001 film even though it's the Jeffrey Combs version that plays. Be aware if you are compiling your Sharkman viewing schedule. Anyway, Jeffrey Combs fuses human and shark DNA together and wackiness ensues. Random observations: I never tire of Jeffrey Combs as a mad scientist. They sure do a lot of unne...

Black Christmas (2006)

Black Christmas (2006) RELEASED December 25, 2006 + 3 more RUNTIME 1 h 35 m DIRECTOR Glen Morgan WRITERS Glen Morgan (screenplay) , Roy Moore (author) COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English STUDIOS Dimension Films , Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , 2929 Productions , Corus Entertainment , Movie Central , Hard Eight Pictures GENRES Horror , Thriller , Holiday , Mystery This holiday season, the slay ride begins. An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one. Streaming on Hulu So I just watched the original Black Christmas for the first time a couple days ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. One thing that made Bob Clark's version better is that the low budget aspect of it actually contributed to the creepiness and horror. This version looks better in a lot of ways, but the polish detracts from the gritty horror ...

Blue Demon (2004)

Blue Demon (2004) RELEASED October 15, 2004 RUNTIME 90 mins DIRECTOR Daniel Grodnik WRITERS Brett Thompson, Lisa Morton STARS Dedee Pfeiffer, Randall Batinkoff, Danny Woodburn LANGUAGE English GENRES Action, Horror, Thriller Streaming on: TubiTV, Vudu, Amazon Prime The plot: Project Blue Demon is the name of a group of scientists' plans to train great white sharks to protect the coastline from intruders. Random observations: The score sounds like a Casio keyboard from 1984 was stuck on "demo mode" whilst a cat rolled around on it. It's kind of refreshing after a day full of shark movies to see more than one shark at a time, even though the budget wasn't quite meant for it. There are a lot of unnecessary lighting choices in this film. Another overscored mess. So much of this movie takes place inside buildings with no water in sight. It's these scenes in particular which are most painful because this means the movie is either going to try to be 1) funny an...
