Reality Strikes Back

Reality Strikes Back

Well, it's back to the usual grind of un-life for Efrit and I, and that means just a horror movie twice a week instead of 19 in a weekend. We'll miss Telluride Horror Show until this time next year...Thanks again, THS, for another awesome year! Terrified follows a team of investigators from various backgrounds that attempt to solve a series of mysterious crimes and happenings isolated in a few homes in a quiet neighborhood. Splitting up to investigate each home over the cours

Telluride Horror Show, Day 3, Sickle's Take

Telluride Horror Show, Day 3, Sickle's Take

Closing out Telluride Horror Show on Sunday is always a bittersweet experience. It was full of some great horror moments, but it also is the swan song for THS, and depression is setting into my cold, lifeless heart...but onto the reviews! Possum Possum follows a disgraced, disturbed children's puppeteer who must face his uncle and the revolting puppet that hides in a brown bag in order to conquer his past. Using thick atmosphere and suffocating subtlety and imagery, Possum at

Telluride Horror Show, Day 2, Efrit's Take

Telluride Horror Show, Day 2, Efrit's Take

Here are Efrit's reviews from Day 2 of Telluride Horror Show, tackling three movies: Deadtectives, The Dark, and You Might Be The Killer! Deadtectives I am a secret fan of the ghost-chaser genre. Back in the day I used to go on jaunts up to the world and possess a body or two. Man those were the days... Anyway It is always fun to see how humans react to finding out what they don't believe in is real. It is even more entertaining to see people who fake it finding out it is rea

Telluride Horror Show, Day 2, Sickle's Take

No surprise. Telluride Horror Show delivered on the goods again on Saturday with some great shorts and feature films! Below are Sickle's takes on the second day of THS's offerings: FEATURE FILMS The Head - The biggest mystery of THS was definitely The Head. I tried to find more info on it. Anything beyond the promising yet vague synopsis and this single image. But I couldn't find a single thing. And perhaps I'm better for it. Going in blind, I was able to endure The Head like

Telluride Horror Show, Day 1, Efrit's Take

The Boat Review Often I'm not a huge fan of survival horror movies. Things like Jungle, Open Water, and Backcountry are just not this demon's cup of tea. So reading the synopsis for The Boat had me at lukewarm, but the trailer introduces some elements that made me incredibly excited, so I chose to see it at day one of the Telluride Horror Show. That's right folks these two hell-based miscreants are back at Telluride for our favorite event of the year! Anyway, let's talk about

Telluride Horror Show, Friday, Sickle's Take

Telluride Horror Show, Friday, Sickle's Take

Telluride Horror Show has been a blast so far, delivering what ended up being a good dose of shorts to kick off the weekend for me, Sickle. Efrit is writing up a review on the sole film we caught yesterday (The Boat) and The Creatures Were Stirring Shorts Block, so be sure to check that out! We have a ton of feature films (in addition to more shorts) on the docket for today, so keep an eye out for more updates on Facebook and reviews later today/tomorrow morning! We are tryin
