Rating: 4 of 5 Big cockroaches
Yet another creatures take over earth flick. But, all in all, it’s one of the good ones. Good acting, actors, effects, plot. Nothing too complicated since it’s basically a sidequest.

Mysterious assignments of mysterious assasins to an secret area which has, wait for it, a big gorge. Naturally fog-filled with scary noises, mines, fences, and guard towers. Turned out pretty scary and fun, after a really boring and predictable setup. I even liked the ending.

Rating: 3 of 5 homicidal parents
Something causes parents to want to violently kill their children. Hilarity ensues. That’s about it. Pretty good creepy flick staring the master of horror, Mr. Nicolas Cage. Have to take off a star because the alternating quiet then insanely loud music is unnecessary, and another for the hyperactive camera work.

Rating: 2 of 5 stars
Another dystopian future flick. This one centers around a teenager with biohacking skills. Visually impressive, but very slow moving. Not terrible, just kinda boring. For an indie film, the visuals are all the more impressive, just a shame the story doesn’t keep up.

Rating: 4 of 5 body parts
A thriller that’s also chilling, and a bit gruesome. Good pacing, great emotional performance by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and the other performances were also spot on. A few twists and turns, nothing too hard to follow. Recommended if you like crime thrillers.

Rating: 1 of 5 weird cults
This can be quick. If you’ve ever seen ANY movie about a group randomly visiting a seemingly happy group of other people as “outsiders”, especially if they’re celebrating some mysterious festival, who turn out to have a dark side, you’ve seen this movie. And probably done better. In fact, you’ll know the entire plot within 30 seconds of the outsiders meeting the seemingly lovely gathering. It’s classified as “horror”, but it’s not.

Rating: 2 of 5 straightjackets
Visualy unusual, starts off creepy and disturbing. Stays disturbing, but not all that creepy. The close-in photography wears a bit thin, and the music is definately a character in itself. The plot is pretty light. It’s more of a slice of life, following people through a couple weird days, but for people on the fringe. Not really horror or sci-fi, more offbeat drama-thriller.

Rating: 5 of 5 jump scares
Excellent horror/thriller. Starts in a rainstorm, with an overbooked short-term rental. Slowly unravels some details, but only enough to keep you wondering what’s going on. Then, it gets creepy. Um, really creepy. As more is revealed, you realize it’s not a cookie cutter thriller. And, it was suprising (and creepy) all the way to the end.
