Extinction — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on October 30, 2018 PermalinkExtinction
by Ben YoungExtinction is a recent Netflix release in its (mostly lackluster) line of original films. Another review I did the week I originally wrote this review was also a Netflix original, so make sure and go check out that one. However, I’m not here to talk about Tau, I’m here to talk about what I thought of this new Michael Peña movie. Read More…

Tau — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on October 30, 2018 PermalinkTau
by Federico D’AlessandroKidnapping movies are always fun. Throw in a little science fiction and you should get something awesome. Sadly, I can’t call Tau an awesome film. Even with all the right ingredients, sometimes the Netflix Original cake doesn’t taste how you wanted it to in the end. Read More…

The First Purge — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on August 2, 2018 PermalinkThe First Purge
by Gerard McMurrayIt’s no secret that I’m a major fan of The Purge franchise. Needless to say, I was super stoked to see the latest installment in the series, a prequel entitled The First Purge. I know, super unique. All kidding aside, though, I really kept my expectations at midlevel for this one so that I a) wasn’t disappointed and b) might be pleasantly surprised. Read More…

Inside — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on August 2, 2018 PermalinkInside
by Miguel Angel VivasI don’t know what it is about foreign horror films that make people think they need to be remade. Is it because people are too lazy to read subtitles? Is it because people are annoying and just feel the need to take a good thing and make it bad? Probably both. Read More…

Hereditary — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on July 18, 2018 PermalinkHereditary
by Ari AsterSchizophrenia, Dissociative Identity Disorder, PTSD, abuse and neglect; these are just a few of the real life, disturbing subjects that Ari Aster covers in his recent release Hereditary. Starring Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Ann Dowd, Alex Wolff, and Milly Shapiro, this film is one that doesn’t hold back and truly terrifies from the inside out. Read More…

Eloise — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on July 18, 2018 PermalinkEloise
by Robert LegatoI’m generally not a fan of the “let’s raid an insane asylum for some ridiculous reason and then try to make it out alive when ghosts get pissed” subgenre of horror, but I needed something to kill some time the other day while I was cleaning and Eloise popped up. Read More…

The Cured – Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on June 13, 2018 PermalinkThe Cured
by David FreyneThe Cured is a zombie horror/drama set four years after The Maze Virus ravaged the world, but particularly took its toll on the country of Ireland. With echoes of 2013’s zombie series In The Flesh as well as the film The Returned, this movie didn’t exactly tread on any fresh territory. Read More…

Insidious: The Last Key — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on May 15, 2018 PermalinkInsidious: The Last Key
by Adam RobitelInsidious: The Last Key takes us back into The Further with a prequel/sequel that’s worthy of being attached to the franchise. It’s no secret that I am a Leigh Whannell fan, but I was weary of this latest installment, nervous that a fourth film in the series would either be terrible or ruin the series as a whole for me.

A Quiet Place — Horror Movie Review
by typeitordie@gmail.com on May 15, 2018 PermalinkA Quiet Place
by John KrasinskiA Quiet Place has had some enormous buzz and probably been one of the most talked-about horror films of 2018 so far, and rightfully so. John Krasinski’s horror debut works well and builds constant tension while intertwining an appropriate amount of family drama. Read More…
