Day 3 Darkness Dwellers: The Descent #31dayhorrorchallenge #horror #thedescent

The Descent is that rare movie that checks all of my boxes. A cold, dark, and claustrophobic setting – Check. Six close friends getting together (and somebody has a dark secret) – Check. Blood thirsty, strange creatures – Check. How this movie doesn’t get more praise is beyond me. Photo Credit: Celador Films Released: Aug 4, 2006Runtime: 99 minsDirector: Neil MarshallWriter: Neil…

Sleepaway Camp 2 Unhappy Campers Review #horror #slasher

After the twist ending of the original, Sleepaway Camp 2 Unhappy Campers needed to do something different. And boy did they! They changed the lead actress, and turned this into a campy, over the top sequel. And it kind of works. Photo Credit: Amazon Released: Feb 28, 1988Director: Michael A.

The Devil’s Rejects

If I wasn’t already a Rob Zombie fan, I would be now. I really like The Devil’s Rejects, a gritty and grungy follow up to House of 1000 Corpses. I LOVED the soundtrack to this movie. He made perfect song choices with the scenes. Released: July 22, 2005Director: Rob ZombieWriter: Rob ZombieRuntime: 1 hr 47 minsActors: Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley The movie starts off about 7 months…

At first I felt like something was wrong with me for liking this movie. But then after processing the movie, I don’t. At it’s basics, it’s a film humanizing the “freaks” as well as showing the true monsters were the “normal” humans. Released: Feb 20, 1932Director: Todd BrowningWriter: Clarence Aaron Robbins, Willis Goldbeck, Leon GordonRuntime: 64 minsActors: Wallace Ford, Leila Hyams, Olga…

April Fool’s Day

Ahhh, April Fool’s Day. What can I say about this 80’s slasher movie? Not the greatest slasher movie but it was fun. I watched a ton of slasher movies while growing up.

I have a soft spot for this movie and make sure I watch it at least once a…
