[Double Feature] Ready or Not

11/16/2020

David: Guys, if you’ve read the site for very long, or you’ve talked to me, at all, you’ll know that horror comedies are among my favorite things in the genre. I mean, when we did... READ MORE

Shannon: Well, this was a very, very entertaining movie. From the trailer I randomly saw before watching another movie (I don’t even remember what it was now), I knew what it was going... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Ma

by David

by Shannon

David: I remember watching the marketing for MA, and being slightly confused as to what type of film was coming. It seemed like it could just be a weird thriller type, or maybe it was deeper... READ MORE

Shannon: Octavia Spencer stars in this thriller about a lonely woman who befriends some teenagers. At first, the friendship seems perfect for the teenagers – free alcohol and a place to party... READ MORE

[Double Feature] The Invisible Man (2020)

11/10/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: I have to say guys, and let me just lay this one out with all the gushing that I can. I cannot get enough of Leigh Whannell and the stories that the man tells. Sometimes it’s original tales of horror... READ MORE

Shannon: The Invisible Man was probably one of the last movies to be released in 2020 before the pandemic shut down all movie theaters (I'm still sad about that, but let's be honest, I'm not going... READ MORE

[Double Feature] The Intruder

10/27/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: When you watch as many horror movies as I do, it’s easy to get sucked into all the different things that a film may be trying to say. For instance, The Intruder can be construed in many ways... READ MORE

Shannon: For me it's strange to see Dennis Quaid in something where he's not the home town hero or good guy. I have to say though, he plays the creepy man fairly well in this movie... READ MORE

[Double Feature] In the Tall Grass

10/14/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: First off, let me apologize for the hiatus. We obviously have lives outside of DFP (shocking, I know), but it’s one of those things that happens when you do something purely for the fun of... READ MORE

Shannon: Okay... first order of business when watching In the Tall Grass... is to NOT watch it while you're pregnant. In case you've noticed out website slowing down a bit, it's mostly because... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Crawl

8/10/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: We’ve watched a variety of different horror, and obviously, since sometimes I get to pick the movies, creature features have to come up. They are a particular vein of movies that are one... READ MORE

Shannon: It's always interesting the new scary movie ideas that they come up with, particularly ones with killer animals. There are so many movies I've heard about or seen recently with animals... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Child's Play

8/6/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: The original Child’s Play franchise, starring Brad Dourif as the titular Good Guy doll, was a fascinating series that grew in self-awareness the longer it progressed and the more sequels... READ MORE

Shannon: Ah... A remake of a horror classic, what could go wrong? To be honest, not much went wrong in my opinion but I'm sure others (cough cough David) may disagree. See, I didn't really enjoy... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Annabelle Comes Home

8/4/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: If you would have told me that we would have eventually morphed the movie The Conjuring into a set of different series that is now on its 8th film, I honestly wouldn’t believe you. Though... READ MORE

Shannon: I remember liking the other Annabelle movies, but I can't remember if we've reviewed those too. Annabelle Comes Home though, is like a hodge podge of all the other movies with the Warren... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Feast

3/26/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: I watch a lot of horror movies. Maybe not as much as some of my favorite film critics, who I still am amazed in their ability to manage the amount of films they watch and write up... READ MORE

Shannon: This film was one of the movies that was dubbed for our October horror event, but since I had the hectic life of a person getting married, it was one of 2 movies that I just couldn’t get my hands... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Brightburn

11/4/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I may have said on this website a time or two that Superman is kinda my guy. I’m huge on the Boy in Blue, despite the fact that so many people find his unnerving goodness boring. For all those...

Shannon: Brightburn stars Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, and Jackson Dunn. As Brandon (Jackson Dunn) grows into his 13th birthday, he starts having thoughts and feelings he had never had...

[Double Feature] Backcountry

10/29/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I was thinking as I was watching this movie about creature features in general. Part of it may be because I included several of them on the list for Halloween horror movies this month...

Shannon: A horror movie that follows a couple camping who then gets attacked by a bear. Interesting concept if you ask me, but done well? Not so much...

[Double Feature] The Invitation

10/21/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: What if your ex invited you to a dinner party with your old crowd of friends and the person she left you for? Would you attend the party or would you continue to go about your life and politely ignore...

Shannon: Sigh. I couldn't help but feeling like this movie was a complete waste of time. The story itself wasn't bad, but the execution of the story was just not fun to watch at all. The Invitation follows...

[Double Feature] Bird Box

10/21/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I’m going to be far from the first critic, or far from the last, to compare Bird Box to A Quiet Place. It does add a unique perspective to have watched this film so soon after watching the other piece...

Shannon: I've been interested in seeing this movie for some time now, just have never had the opportunity to watch it yet. Bird Box is based on a novel of the same name and stars Sandra Bullock...

[Double Feature] The Silence

10/8/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I’m an unapologetic Stanley Tucci fan. I continue to post different movies where he maintains the ability to be good in movies that may not be, and he consistently brings heart and humor to his roles...

Shannon: There's always those low budget films out there that decide to spin-off a really good, really successful film. Typically, they are just that, low budget with no name actors, and terrible film quality...

[Double Feature] Apostle

10/7/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: It’s impossible not to think of The Wicker Man when watching Apostle. Part of that is due to the subject matter – both deal with off-the-beaten path communities that harbor cults with murderous...

Shannon: Apostle is a film brought to us by Netflix that takes place in 1905 and follows a young man who is on a mission to rescue his abducted sister. Dan Stevens stars as Thomas, who sneaks his way onto...

[Double Feature] Before I Wake

10/7/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: A few years ago, very few people had heard of Mike Flanagan. He is the director for several films we have reviewed here on the site, most of them favorably – Hush, Oculus, Gerald’s Game are all in his rearview...

Shannon: Here we are friends. We are back! Hopefully for good or at least awhile, we will see what happens and if our work lives get in the way again. We are starting off the month of October with Before I Wake...

[Double Feature] Ghost Stories

7/8/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: There’s not many things that are better than a good collection of ghost stories. They find a good way into your brain and wiggle down deep, giving you a deep feel for the horror of what you’ve...

Shannon: Ghost Stories is another movie that we were supposed to watch back in October but we just didn’t have the time to get it in. The synopsis makes the film sound interesting: Skeptical...

[Double Feature] Patient Zero

5/2/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I remember following news about this film on sites like Bloody Disgusting, and was extremely confused when I found out that it wasn’t even going to be released. It was already on our list of...

Shannon: This movie has been on my watch list for quite some time, it took a very long time to be released, and when it was I’m pretty sure it didn’t even hit theaters (I could be wrong on this...

[Double Feature] Slender Man

4/25/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: It’s unfortunate when creepy things go by the wayside. Internet and social media culture (of which I’m a huge fan of) consistently sends things into the stratosphere of popularity, only for...

Shannon: So many horror movies these days surround themselves around folklore of entities that appear and take away children, adults, etc, just because they were summoned. This movie freaked me out...

[Double Feature] Halloween (2018)

4/22/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I’m not against belated sequels or reboots that go through and do something akin to remaking the original in a way that pays homage. I’m also not against pulling from subsequent sequels in order...

Shannon: When I first heard that they were making this movie I was pretty excited. Halloween has grown into a huge franchise with a ton of movies, some of which I’ve seen and some of which I haven’t...
