[Double Feature] X-Men: Dark Phoenix

9/9/2020

David: The cinematic X-Men story is one that has… a varied history, to be kind. There was the original trillogy, the different Wolverine spin-offs, the Deadpool spin... READ MORE

Shannon: I'm always a fan of superhero movies. Ones that are full of action, fight scenes, etc. So I was pretty excited for the next x-men movies (I've liked.. READ MORE

[Double Feature] Crawl

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] Captain Marvel

7/30/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: Captain Marvel was the MCU’s first woman led superhero film. This is something that should have been made a tent-pole film so that the torch could have been successfully passed to... READ MORE

Shannon: Pretty sad that I'm just now writing about this movie. I don't know how many times I've watched it since it came out, a handful for sure. But FINALLY I have time to sit and write about... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Alita: Battle Angel

7/23/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: Adopting movies from Manga and comics into motion pictures has always been a bit of a tricky business. Though both are visual mediums, one is largely “live action” while the other is... READ MORE

Shannon: This was an interesting movie to say the least. As for the synopsis, it follows a cyborg who was revived by a scientist (Christoph Waltz), however she can't remember a thing. So the film... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Unbreakable

4/14/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: I remember loving this movie upon first watch as a young preteen. I was hesitant throughout the years to return to it – after all of Mr. Shyamalan’s failures to bring other materials to the screen... READ MORE

Shannon: In January 2018 I went to see the movie Split. I knew what it was about, but I had never heard of this movie Unbreakable until the end scene that cameos Bruce Willis and sets up for the... READ MORE

[Double Feature] Evolution

3/4/2020

by David

by Shannon

David: Sometimes watching movies from the early 2000s can feel like a mostly remembered dream. I watched so many movies that I had purchased from questionable flea market vendors that now... READ MORE

Shannon: I took one look at the cover on this DVD and thought, man I’m going to hate this movie. But in fact, I did not. I thought it was actually funny (not stupid funny like I assumed it would be)... 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] 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] 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] The Predator (2018)

4/15/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: The Predator franchise has always been about less than some of the other headier franchises in horror. It’s compared and contrasted beautifully with the Alien franchise, but it never reaches...

Shannon: I remember watching this movie’s original counterpart before this website thing started, because David told me I had to. It was a classic right? Well I agree with him, I enjoyed the...

[Double Feature] The Meg

3/11/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I’m actually a fan of Steve Alten’s novels. It’s a very particular brand of story that essentially comes down to being scientists vs. monsters of lore – some of them real (take Meg for instance)...

Shannon: Originally we had this movie slated for October of last year - the phantom, family, and FANG event - but unfortunately the time it left theaters and when it came out to DVD...

[Double Feature] Venom

3/1/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I will be the first person to tell you that Venom is not a good movie. Having just recently scrolled past my rating, I’m sure you’re wondering how I can rate something as high as I did...

Shannon: I remember when this movie first came to theater - I know, I know, it wasn’t that long ago - but what I remember about it film twitter world. Everyone was bashing on it and I...

[Double Feature] Black Panther

1/30/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: I’ve sat on this review for a few days, partly because I had to think about all the thoughts I had about and surrounding this movie. Though Civil War approached some of the political...

Shannon: For some reason, I've had this movie in my Marvel BluRay collection ever since it came out, but have not seen it. The film was recently nominated for Best Picture in the...

[Double Feature] The Blob (1958)

1/24/2019

by David

by Shannon

David: Horror community, I have a confession to make. Though I had seen the 1988 remake, I had never seen the original Blob film from 1958. And you know what? It’s pretty good...

Shannon: If you’ve been following our site for awhile now, you may remember when we reviewed The Stuff. I feel like this movie has similar aspects to it, being totally ridiculous...

[Double Feature] Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

12/17/2018

by David

by Shannon

David: Walking out of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, I couldn’t help but feel slightly shell-shocked. I’ve watched dinosaurs eat people out of stalls, dinosaurs get rounded up and...

Shannon: Jurassic World is probably on my top list of movies that I love, and I was so excited to learn that they were going to be making another one. But then I heard little rumors...

[Double Feature] A Quiet Place

11/1/2018

by David

by Shannon

David: From the opening moments of A Quiet Place, you’re immediately struck by just how silent everything is. The padding of feet across a floor, the muffled breaths, it all sets you up...

Shannon: It has taken me way to long to watch this movie. I even won free tickets to go see it in theaters and didn't make it. So very sad. But finally, I've seen it, and I loved it. I'm sure I don't...

[Double Feature] The Host (2006)

10/29/2018

by David

by Shannon

David: Since the beginning of monster movies (many of which we chronicled last Halloween – check it out if you have time), humans have been doing things to the environment that cause...

Shannon: The only good thing I have to say about this movie is the effects and CGI (assuming) of the monster frog-fish in question. Everything else was absolutely horrible and I...

[Double Feature] Extinction

9/20/2018

by David

by Shannon

David: Some stories and movies are built on a really excellent idea, like what if there was a giant shark that started eating people outside a small town (Jaws) or what if a young sociopath...

Shannon: When I first turned on this movie I remember thinking that I wasn’t a huge fan of “horror sci-fi movies with children in them” because well, to be honest, the children annoy me...
