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 ...

Streaming on Netflix I have only watched the first episode so far, so I obviously can't speak for the whole season. The truth is I want this to be Mindhunter. :( Oh well. I appreciate the sarcasm in the writing, but I'm not sure what this show is trying to do. Is this a Jack Ryan thing? I like cheese. Mmm... cheese. I'm totally getting some cheese after I post this. 0.2/1 Directing 0.5/1 Cinematography 0.6/1 Visual design 0.1/1 Editing 0...

Aatank (1996)

Aatank (1996) RELEASED July 10, 1996 RUNTIME 113 mins DIRECTOR Prem Lalwani WRITER Sachin Bhowmick (story) STARS Nafisa Ali, Dharmendra, Girish Karnad COUNTRY India LANGUAGE Hindi STUDIO Bemisal Films Pvt. Ltd. GENRES Horror, Thriller Streaming on: YouTube The plot: Childhood friends Jesu and Peter live in a coastal village in India where local gangsters ruin the damn ocean by fishing for black pearls. This angers a shark and he decides to partially eat a lot of people. Random observations: The opening credits will get you pumping and then suddenly you are not watching a shark movie for a good 30 minutes. If you decide to watch this on YouTube, keep in mind the English captions may be turned off. You can turn them back on in "settings". These are actually transcripted captions, instead of that weird beta auto caption YouTube likes to befuddle people with. I love how it feels like the cameraman is seeing everything for the first time. Hey, maybe he is...
