On this sunny and surprisingly pleasant day in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction watched three Japanese pulp horror movies: Bloody Chainsaw Girl, Bloody Chainsaw Girl Returns: Giko Awakens and Bloody Chainsaw Girl Returns: The Revenge of Nero. All three are fun films to watch and recommend if you’re in need of a pulp fix. Bloody Chainsaw Girl is about Giko Nokomoura fighting off mutant zombies on her…

Over this cold and sunny weekend in Philadelphia, today we watched a couple of Korean horror films: The Ghost Station and Ghost Train. Both are worthy of watch, but both include mostly jump-scares. The Ghost Station involves a reporter investigating the incidents at Oksu Station and uncovers its secrets. The film did have its moments of horror. Incidentally, it fell flat toward the end of the…

Over this weekend, Fringe Fiction did get to catch a couple of science-fiction movies: The Thing (2011) and The Adjustment Bureau. Both are definitely worth a watch, and both explore the science-fiction realm in two particular directions. The Thing (2011) is definitely worth a watch. It does capture the original’s spirit with modernized effects. The tension remains the same as the original as…

Over this cold weekend in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction did get to watch a couple of movies: Else and Tarot. Else and Tarot are both worth a watch, but Else is the more interesting fare. Else is an interesting foreign movie where inanimate objects is merging with humanity. It is not quite body horror, and it does lean toward the artistic side, particularly toward the finale. Interestingly, it is…

On this bright and chilly Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction watched a couple of more movies. 57 Seconds and Wish both were solid. 57 Seconds is a solid movie that’s worth a watch. There are multiple story lines that crosses into science fiction, aliens and technology gurus and their impact on society. The plot is relatively easy to follow, but it may get a little awkward toward…

On this cloudy and cold afternoon in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction did get to watch a couple of movies — notably, Red Sonja and Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Both were palatable movies but not spectacular ones. Red Sonja, starring Matilda Lutz, was a palatable fantasy movie but not great. The storyline, the villain and the acting didn’t do this movie any favors. Also, some more relatable…

On this wet Sunday in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction did watch a couple of movies. The first being La-La Land and the second being The Conjuring: Last Rites. La La Land is worth a watch. The main theme song is catchy indeed, but it did not take shape until about the middle of the movie. The beginning of the movie was a bit lackluster in Fringe Fiction’s opinion, but the movie picked up its pace…
