Do I need to keep paying for Shudder?
Yes- I get plenty of joy from it.
Not every Film is great, but which ones stood out to me this Year?
Honorable Mentions: Urban Legend, Sputnik, Urban Legends: Final Cut, Mosquito, V/H/S Halloween, Good Boy, Wolfkin.
1) The Primevals: This one was not completed when it is was supposed to be released in 1993.
Thankfully, it got a release in 2023 and ended up here.
A fun, throwback Film in many ways that I'm glad has gotten its due.
2) Frankie Freako: A fun and silly Film inspired by '80s trash.
The Director of Psycho Goreman walks that line between homage and remake in a Film that it subjectively great.
3. Monster Island: Don't let the generic Title fool you- there's more going on here.
A simple tale- two disparate people stuck on an Island with a creature- has surprising depth and pathos. Plus, the Monster rocks.
4. Dangerous Animals: A nice surprise, with a well-known Character Actor standing out.
A pretty simple tale, but one that works when you see how dangerous the villain looks.
5. Night of the Reaper: A fun Film that plays with conventions and cliches.
What sounds like a Film you've seen 100 times takes a few clever twists and turns.
6. The Vourdalak: A crazy French Film with a weird gimmick to boot.
This freaky Vampire Film features a very unique creature and a weird story.
7. Azrael: A grim, wordless tale that definitely stands out.
This Horror Film focuses on a single woman, has no dialog and its Plot is super vague.
It shouldn't work, but it mostly does.
8. Clown in a Cornfield: Another Slasher Film the wisely plays with conventions.
We've come around again to where we have new Scream Films and new Films have to subvert THOSE tropes. This is a great example.
There you go- 8 recommendations for Films to watch, a reminder for you if you forget when I first posted this or, you know, don't watch them.
I won't know either way, so...go nuts.
