Two people stand in a forested area with handmade wooden crosses and markers on the ground, resembling a makeshift cemetery. The scene, reminiscent of Stephen King's "Pet Sematary," is surrounded by trees and grass, creating a rustic and mysterious atmosphere tinged with horror. 3

Pet Sematary

Pet Sematary is beginning to show its age. Once considered one of the better of the Stephen King adaptations, we take some issue with that notion while still admiring a compelling story and one fantastic actor.

A row of futuristic robots with dome-shaped heads and numbered bodies are aligned in the foreground, reminiscent of a scene from a chilling horror movie. The setting is dimly lit, with a blurred background suggesting they might be guarding an abandoned shopping mall. 0

Chopping Mall

Todd is a big Jim Wynorski fan, and recommends this movie as a gateway into his cornball, highly entertaining earlier films, straight from Roger Corman’s shop.

A person in a white shirt and gloves is adjusting golf clubs in a bag. The background features a colorful tapestry with floral patterns. A yellow jacket hangs to the left. 2

Funny Games

Funny Games is a shot-for-shot American remake of the 1997 Austrian film by the same director,
Michael Haneke.

Hausu

Craig and I have a divided opinion over this rare love-it-or-hate-it movie that’s often described as “a live-action Scooby Doo.” Not to be confused with the 1986 American horror film “House”, or its comedy-horror sequel, “House 2”.

It’s a Godzilla movie told shaky-cam-style from the ground level, and we both agree it’s pretty rad. Todd hadn’t seen this one before, believe it or not.

A woman in a pink dress sits at a table with a man in a black tuxedo, his head resting affectionately on her shoulder. Surrounded by scattered balloons and birthday decorations, the dimly lit room exudes the warmth of cherished moments with loved ones. 0

The Loved Ones

If John Hughes directed horror films instead of angsty teen comedies, his first film would’ve been The Loved Ones. It’s ultra-violent, but we found a surprisingly complex message beneath all the gore.
