    Comical: Sickle's Take on "Archenemy"

    Comical: Sickle's Take on "Archenemy"

    Archenemy follows a teen with big dreams of becoming an online social journalist who falls upon a drunk homeless man who claims to be a Superman-like being from another dimension, who, upon saving his own dimension from oblivion, was dropped into our dimension with none of his powers. Archenemy Review While this film isn't horror at all, I couldn't help but review it, because it is the follow-up feature of Adam Egypt Mortimer, who directed my number one film of last year in D
    Repressed: Review of "Porno"

    Repressed: Review of "Porno"

    Porno follows a group of employees for an old movie theater in a highly conservative Christian town that discover an old film canister in the basement of the theater after closing. As morbid curiosity wins out, the group watches the film, only to incidentally let loose a succubus. Porno Review Watching, and then reviewing, a movie titled Porno is awkward even for a horror movie reviewer...but, it was a film that we missed at Telluride Horror Show, so curiosity – as with our d
    Below the Waistline: Sickle's Take on "What Lies Below"

    Below the Waistline: Sickle's Take on "What Lies Below"

    What Lies Below follows a socially awkward girl who meets her mother's new hunky boyfriend at their secluded cabin by a lake. Despite her physical attraction to him, the girl finds him unsettlingly odd, and he just may be housing some dark secrets and sinister intentions for her mother. What Lies Below Review While elements of a creature feature aren't heavy in the trailer, the subtle nods were enough to grab my attention and get me somewhat excited for this movie despite lac
    Lang's Expendables: Sickle's Review of "VFW"

    Lang's Expendables: Sickle's Review of "VFW"

    VFW follows a ragtag group of war veterans that must defend their bar from a mob of drugged out psychos hellbent on retrieving a stolen stash of a highly addictive new drug from within the confines of their VFW establishment. VFW Review I saw someone compare VFW to Hobo with a Shotgun, and I find that to be a rather astute observation. VFW has a very similar feel to it, utilizing the grindhouse aesthetic with 80s b-horror practical gore effects and neon-lit settings. That aes
    Anything Goes: Sickle's Review of "Anything for Jackson"

    Anything Goes: Sickle's Review of "Anything for Jackson"

    Anything for Jackson follows an elderly couple that attempts to "resurrect" the soul of their dead grandchild by using a dark magic to bring his spirit into the unborn child of a kidnapped pregnant woman. As their inexperience in satanic rituals becomes increasingly apparent, hijinks and horrors erupt within the home. Anything for Jackson Review With it being December, I've already begun the process of building out my top 10 horror movies of the year. Rarely does a film relea
    Funky Freak: Sickle's Take on "Castle Freak" (2020)

    Funky Freak: Sickle's Take on "Castle Freak" (2020)

    Castle Freak (2020) follows a young woman who, following a car accident that leaves her blind, inherits her estranged mother's massive Albanian castle, only to slowly realize that someone, or something, may be lurking within the castle's walls. Castle Freak (2020) Review This remake of the 1995 film adaptation of the HP Lovecraft short story The Outsider creates an interesting exhibit of the remake concept that I don't believe has ever happened before. The original adaptation
    A Little Off the Top: Sickle's Take on "Bad Hair"

    A Little Off the Top: Sickle's Take on "Bad Hair"

    Bad Hair follows a woman who gets a weave in order to move up in her career in the image-obsessed world of music television. But the weave seems to have a sinister, bloodthirsty mind of its own. Bad Hair Review Bad Hair is unique in so many ways. I love its original take on possession using a weave to inhabit its victims, but on top of that, it also uses an interesting lore to tell the story of this form of possession. It then uses this theme to integrate its racism, sexism,
