Take the infection element of Cabin Fever, add in some zombie elements and mix in The Fog, you get The Beach House. The trailer didn't really catch my eye and when i popped this on i felt it would be almost Lifetime, but then you get sucked in by the character interactions, the quasi surreal moments and the horror that goes all out atmospheric in the last act. The ending was abrupt but it fit in with the overall tone.
There are modern day crap ass zombie films and there are modern day classic zombie films, Yummy falls in between the two. By no means is this great but it is far from bad. At times it feels overly forced but it is highly entertaining. A fun concept with decent humor in a setting that honestly should be used more in zombie films along with awesome gore and a likable cast(for the most part)
Holy hell, this was not the film i expected. I don't recall ever seeing a trailer for Jessica Forever but the stills and plot sounded like a cyber punk film, instead it was basically a young adult novel adaptation only no where as good as stuff like Maze Runner or Divergent. The fist 20 minutes or so is beautiful and incredibly crafted, but once the group is united it begins to feel like a fake trailer for What If John Hughes directed The Hunger Games.
Another Shudder film, another trip to Korea, and another possession film. If they sounds negative, it is not, this is actually a pretty damn good demon flick with pretty awesome effects. The first couple acts drag but the final act has shit hitting the fan. The demons look creepy and the blood letting is beautiful. While Monstrum felt like a better fitted Netflix series done as a film, this feels like a screener that actually have talent.
Well Monstrum was a surprise. It almost feels like a film that would adapted by Netflix as a series. A period piece from Korea but with monsters? Pacing is great, action is awesome, the creature looks sweet, i was surprised with how much fun this was. It is gorgeous and at times feels epic. One of Shudder's better films.
Dogs Don't Wear Pants is a funny, disturbing, feel good, feel bad, beautiful and pretentious little film. This is a damn fine look at kink and s&m but a bit tedious at times. It reminds me of Todd Solondz and Gaspar Noe. I feel this is going to be a film i may not ever watch again but one i will think about greatly.
