Texas Chainsaw Massacre
– (2022) – Young entrepreneurs who intend to auction off parts of an abandoned town encounter a chainsaw wielding killer. Barely has a plot, the characters are stock, and much of what happens is unintentionally hilarious. However, it’s not long, the pace is quick, and buckets of blood are spilled along the way. Supposedly a direct sequel to the original, but the ties are extremely weak.

Antlers
– (2021) – A depressed school teacher delves into the life of a depressed student whose father is more monstrous than he seems. Well-made and has some grim atmosphere, but the story is rather thin and the pace overly sluggish. Best when the advancements are rapidly stark, but by the end the only foreseeable intention is to dishearten the audience as much as possible since every single character needs a hug and/or the slightest sense of humor.

Amityville Uprising
– (2022) – A chemical explosion turns rain into a deadly contagion that falls upon a police station. Though horror does arise by the end, most of this consists of paltry dramatics that try to flesh out ordinary characters. Not the worst movie ever made, though some of the acting may have you believing otherwise.

Werewolf Reborn!
– (1998) – A young American woman who’s visiting her uncle in Europe discovers he’s a werewolf. The only real conflict is whether or not the girl can shoot someone, but at only 48-minutes, not much more should be expected. Nothing entirely unique happens, but what does occur is well-made and relatively well-acted.

The Resonator: Miskatonic U
– (2021) – College students turn on a machine that awakens their sexual impulses and invites monsters into their realm. Does absolutely nothing not already seen in From Beyond, and does it all rather cheaply. The F/X are laughably inferior, and don’t come close to matching the wonder of the original, while no character warrants the attention garnered by the former cast. A stinker by comparison to a cult classic, but this is still pretty bad on its own.

your a-z guide to obscure & classic horror movies
– (2015) – Medical researchers successfully bring an animal back from death, but have lesser results with a human. Works best during the visual final act, but even that’s ruined by the lack of distinct characters and scenarios. Sloppily handled and lazily told, yet somehow reached theatrical release.

– (2019) – Anthology of five stories that focus on a masked killer, a killer doll, a killer dressed as Santa, a killer cult, and a wraparound involving a killer demon. Presents the gimmick of taking place on different holidays, but they can occur at any time since there’s virtually no holiday atmosphere in any segment, even the one with Santa. The tales themselves are either stale, dull, or rip-offs of superior films.

– (1990) – A doctor who’s new to the country life discovers an epidemic of spider related deaths. A bit too family friendly overall, and therefore lacks a distinctive horror punch, but has an involving story that moves fast. The lead is a bit of a prick, and the comedy feels forced, but the spider activity is often spine tingling.

Mother’s Day Massacre
– (2007) – A teen searching for his biological mother encounters murderous hillbillies. Tends to spill blood on occasion, but finding a way to care for anyone who’s bleeding isn’t easy. The budget, talent, and purposes all add up to zilch.

The Great Alligator
– (1979) – An island god becomes a giant alligator to destroy the tourists in its domain. Drab and repetitive when the creature’s not on the loose, though scenes of monster activity are too dark to tell what’s happening. Blood free and dramatically inept.

The Dead Pit
– (1989) – Asylum zombies are awakened by an amnesia patient. Not too involving character-wise, which makes this less involving zombie-wise as we don’t care who’s eaten. Not at all terrible, but slow and rather goreless (even the Director’s Cut) for a zombie flick.

From a Whisper to a Scream
– (1987) – Anthology of four stories that focus on a lonely murderer, a greedy thief, carnival lust, and young Civil War survivors. While none of the tales make much sense, each has its own creepy vibe and some violent moments that are hard to shake. A dark, atmospheric, and bloody good time that ends with a truly humorous line.

Klown Kamp Massacre
– (2010) – Prospective clowns attend a training retreat where they’re terrorized by a sadistic killer. Despite a dirt cheap production, there’s plenty of enjoyment to behold in the plentiful humor and gore. The conclusion is a bit of a stretch, but still leads to some truly funny moments.

Play Dead
– (1983) – A woman with a vendetta against her family magically persuades a dog to kill them. Anything dealing with the drama is the pits, but the dog inclusions are so manically awful they’re hard not to appreciate. Bad, but entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
