Be Afraid (2017)

I have seen a few of these sleep paralysis movies lately and I am forced to admit this one is very well done. The movie doesn’t do anything great, but it also does not do anything badly. The characters are pretty well written the story while standard was also pretty good.

The usual applies here. Family moves to a small town, town has weird things happen, little girl was missing yada yada yada. We have all seen it before. Son comes home from college meets local girl. All standard affair.

Where the movie really shines is that you believe this small town is simply a small town with no real secrets. Even the town drunk seems to be just a father distraught over the loss of a kid. But alas nothing is as it seems. The sleep paralysis that will soon plague a select few and the strange dreams are no dreams but creatures with a nefarious and unclear plot of their own. Not a movie for everyone but worth a watch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Babysitter (2017)

The new movie from Netflix was not quite what I was expecting. The story is of a kid named Cole and his babysitter that happens to be one of his best friends and object of his 12 year old affections. And why wouldn’t she be? She is smart, attractive and protects him from bullies.

Inevitably as babysitters will do she invites friends over after Cole goes to bed. Curious as to what goes on (his close friend suggest orgy which he of course googles) he sneaks to the top of the stairs and discovers normal shenanigans. Spin the bottle, kissing, stabbing a guy with two knives in the head and collecting the blood… Well normal for a cult. What follows is a tale of gruesome and exaggerated death, love and coming of age and a randomly placed but awesome car wreck. Any fan of horror comedy will enjoy this one but fair warning, the movie is not for everyone. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Professor Marston And The Wonder Woman

Three’s a party. Professor William Marston (Luke Evans) and his wife, Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), live a relatively happy and carefree life together. He’s a professor at Harvard and she desperately wants to be, but because this is the 1920’s and she’s a woman, for some reason, that’s not allowed to happen. Anyway, the two have […]

Stranger Than Fiction (2000)

This movie actually reminds me of an old 80’s movie. A group of friends go to the bar one night for drinks, egg a guys car that screwed over a friend at work and go home. Turns out one of them went to a gay bar picked a guy up. He got a bit rough and in self defense gets killed. In an attempt to help their friend they try to hide the body.

Driving to a foundry to destroy the body they run over a homeless man. Yup. That happens. After going to a wedding with the bodies in the trunk of a car it turns out the homeless guy isn’t dead, but the car gets towed.

Trying to get the car back a man in the garage attempts to blackmail them into giving them money and they kill him. Eventually they finally get rid of the bodies to discover an old lady neighbor knows. She also ends up dead but it is debatable whether or not that was natural causes or murder. The movie itself is quite strange but entertaining. It may also just be the ramblings of a writer in a bar, but is it a work of fact or fiction? Only one way to find out. Give it a watch and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla

This actually may be my least favorite Godzilla movie. It wasn’t so much bad as it was weird. The basic story is after the Godzilla Vs Mothra movie some of their genetics got into space,weird space things happened, and Spacegodzilla was created. They tossed in a baby zilla and a baby Mothra some flying robot with a drill. It was just all over the place.

Some psychics tried to control Godzilla with their powers. Another guy wanted to kill him. It just seemed like there was far to much going on.

The fight scenes however were pretty awesome and I have to admit the monster looked pretty cool. As I said, probably my least favorite Godzilla movie but still not really a bad movie. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Cat People (1942)

Cat People has one of those sensationalized B-picture premises and there are moments when its meager aspects let slip that this is a low-budget effort, but within those restrictions, it moves with a certain purpose and chilliness. It’s true that producer Val Lewton had a B-movie renaissance going on at RKO Studios and Cat People […]
