Hell Fest does not re-invent the horror wheel or anything, and it does feature a rather thin story and even thinner villain, but the ensemble cast was likeable enough.

Johnny English Strikes Again is not a very good movie but at least is tolerably bad if only for Rowan Atkinson’s physical humor more so than the actual jokes.

Screamers is a fine B-movie science fiction film that works mostly for the charisma and weight Peter Weller brought to the role as well as Jennifer Rubin who was wonderful in the female lead.

I’m not especially fond of the Howling franchise and this third entry, which doesn’t have much in common with the first two films, has a few cheesy scenes and an amusing premise that did make this at least an entertaining fantasy-horror flick.

Suspiria is one interesting film that does take aspects of Dario Argento’s 1977 original and adds a little bit of a spin of it, including an absolutely bananas finale which in some respects was actually better, or at the very least more memorable.

The Super could’ve been a fun thriller as it was advertised but what we got instead was a messy supernatural-horror film whose only redeeming factor very well may be Val Kilmer who did bring a gravitas to the film.

Night School is just a poorly made comedy, one which I did not laugh once and goes to show perhaps Kevin Hart’s limitations when he doesn’t have the right director, material and even ensemble cast to work off of.

Bloody New Year is your typical 1980 indie slasher/horror with some gory fun moments amongst the so-so performances; this probably would make for a fun viewing especially around New Years.

Judgment Night isn’t what one call a “smart” thriller or anything but it is awfully fun courtesy of its charming cast headlined by Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denis Leary (with special mention to Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven).

The House with a Clock in its Walls is a fine enough family fantasy adventure that is certainly flawed with some suspect acting but it was at least enjoyable time.

Although I’m sure The Mangler has its fanbase that has grown over the years, this horror-comedy didn’t do much for me, mainly with some over-the-top acting on the parts of Robert Englund and Ted Levine, even in a movie where a machine comes to life and chases people down…

10 to Midnight may not be top-quality Charles Bronson though story wise, the writing, even my personal qualms of a detective doing what he does, is far stronger than Death Wish.

Starman is a touching romance-science fiction movie that showcased that John Carpenter’s talents went beyond the horror genre. The performances from both Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen, were both great.

Castle Rock: The Complete First Season is a fun and entertaining show and that’s coming from someone who generally isn’t the biggest fan of Stephen King; however as a movie buff, there are cool references to some of the King-adapted feature films.

Bad Times at the El Royale is hardly a perfect movie and it does seem like writer-director Drew Goddard channeling his inner Quentin Tarantino, yet I found this drama-thriller thoroughly entertaining ensemble, headlined with fine performances by Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth and newcomer Cynthia Erivo.
