Halloween H20 (1998) Review

Let's ignore the previous trilogy, like the writers did, and skip straight to 20 years after Halloween II. Laurie Strode, now Keri Tate, is living in California as the headmaster of a private boarding school after faking her death to prevent Michael from coming back for her. When Michael tracks down Loomis' former nurse, he …

The Birds (1963) Review

I think The Birds is one of the best-known movies in Hitchcock's filmography and one of the few that is thought of as an actual horror movie. After a chance encounter with a man named Mitch at a pet store, Melanie travels to Bodega Bay to deliver a pair of lovebirds to him. During her …

My Thoughts While Watching… Halloween Ends (2022) [Trigger Warning: Child Death, Suicide]

I've seen plenty of Buzzfeed posts floating around where people write a list of thoughts while watching a movie. I read one years ago where someone watched all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time while live tweeting and writing a post per movie. I still quote a lot of what he said …

Asylum (1972) Review

Here we have the classic anthology film written by Psycho author Robert Bloch and produced by Amicus. Dr. Martin arrives at Dunsmoor, an asylum for the incurably insane, to attend a job interview.

I love that this movie takes …

When agreeing to continue monthly payments to his Aunt, she offers him the hand of her daughter, Elizabeth.

Halloween (1978) Review

In 1963 on Halloween night, 6-year-old Michael Myers murders his older sister, Judith, with a kitchen knife. Jump forward 15 years. Michael has escaped the asylum he was being kept in, before he was due to appear in court. The next day, teenager Laurie Strode is going to be spending her Halloween night babysitting. Luckily, …

Alien (1979) Review

Alien can be viewed as a slasher flick set in space. A slasher movie is defined as having a body count. Alien restarted the slasher genre that was started nearly two decades earlier, in 1960, with Psycho. James Rolfe reviewed this twice, once in 2007, then again in 2013. Everything Wrong With and Kill Count. …
