Hellworld is a 2005 straight to video entry in the Hellraiser franchise. It does something a bit in the same vein as New Nightmare, as Hellraiser is a fictional piece of work in the world of the movie. It also features Henry Cavill, which is surprising, and I did not recognize him in my many viewings of this movie, although now I am a bit … Continue reading Impressions: Hellworld
If I were to pick one of the most inconsistent horror franchises, TCM might be the top but is for sure top 3. There are solid movies, dumb but fun movies, weird movies, and just bad movies, all making up this franchise. The first suffers from age and some other issues, but I think it is an important part of horror history. I found the … Continue reading Impressions: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022
Valentine is a slasher movie from 2001 following a group of women being hunted down and killed in the lead-up to Valentine’s day. It has a pretty decent cast list, including David Boreanaz and Denise Richards during her hay day, but is ultimately a pretty paint-by-numbers slasher flick that didn’t really manage to stand out, especially in the post Scream world. I warn you this … Continue reading Impressions: Valentine
Iron Will is a 1994 movie from Disney following the story of Will and a real-life 1917 dogsled race from Winnipeg to Saint Paul (although most of the rest of the details of the story are fictional). It featured a pretty stellar cast, including Kevin Spacey, David Ogden Stiers, and August Schellenberg, who was pretty popular at the time. It, like many Disney movies, featured … Continue reading Impressions: Iron Will
Well, it’s Christmas week, so I thought I would do this Impressions on Scrooged, an adaptation of A Christmas Carol from 1988. A lot of people have seen this whacky comedy, with honestly a few horror antics thrown in, but some might not have. Others still might be like me and haven’t revisited it in a long time. It’s… an interesting adaptation, so with that. … Continue reading Impressions: Scrooged
If you follow my Patreon, you know I recently took a look at what I consider more of a re-imagining of Black Christmas from 2019. It got me thinking about the 2006 remake, which I had not seen, so I decided to give it a shot. The 2006 version is much more in line with remaking the story of the original, while the 2019 went … Continue reading Impressions: Black Christmas, 2006
So in the history of the franchise, Scream 3 is often looked down on. I can certainly understand why because it is by far the silliest of the movies, but having recently rewatched it, I think it gets a bad rep. I also think the very silliness that turned people off to it makes a lot of sense when you consider that Scream is meant, … Continue reading Impressions: Scream 3
Pumpkinhead is a 1988 horror film that had a limited release, but over the years, it has gotten a bit more love and a cult following. It is also notably the directorial debut for Stan Winston, a special effects artist who worked on Terminator 2, Batman Returns, and Jurassic Park. Given Winston’s main focus on practical effects, one of the reasons that Pumpkinhead has such … Continue reading Impressions: Pumpkinhead
Werewolves Within is a recent horror-comedy somewhat based on a VR game with the same name. While I haven’t personally played the VR game, the premise is one that many people are aware of. If you’ve ever play Town of Salem, Mafia, or Werewolf, then you get the gist of it. Somebody is a werewolf, and the players have to sort out who it is … Continue reading Impressions: Werewolves Within
So I had previously done a franchise ranking for Friday the 13th. Like many genre fans, with the release of Spiral, I felt compelled to rewatch all of Saw. I thought I would give you my overall franchise ranking and why for each movie. I will warn now there are going to be A LOT of spoilers. So with that, my ranking for the Saw … Continue reading Impressions: Franchise Ranking- Saw
