It probably doesn’t help when your siblings are giving off fresh, of the moment, cultural zeitgeist vibes and you gotta peddle a throwback campfire tale/boogeyman legend/haunted highway flick that emulates the eighties. On the other hand, director Andre (TROLLHUNTER, THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK and THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER) Ovredal is not exactly a slouch and there’s something comforting about an unambitious supernatural stalker tale that delivers dopey jump scares on the regular and is perfectly content drawing within the lines while magpie cribbing from every possible source . It’s all pretty mediocre for sure, but I didn’t mind being reminded of the wonde…

I have a hunch film academics will be dissecting and analyzing its bottomless pit of potential interpretations for many years to come. I certainly felt one way about it while viewing it and then was hit with a completely different take many hours later. It rather brilliantly lures the viewer into certain areas only to bludgeon them from the opposite direction on several occasions. In fact, one of its greatest scares utilizes just such a subtle misdirection. I gotta say, it was a jolt so potent tha…

It’s a spooky, dark, compact, well acted, sometimes riveting, sometimes heartbreaking, and eventually down right terrifying, ghost story. Its quiet, unassuming, downright sneaky nature may result in it not exactly taking the world by storm but even better, it’s the type of creepfest that one could return to again and again for years to come when a supernatural fix is needed. My only complaint is that it was not released in the autumn season as it takes place on Halloween but I suppose you can’t have everything. I know I’ll be returning to it in Octobers to come because it’s that rare seasonal film that leans into the old school spirit of the holiday rather than the more commercial and garish presentation of it that’s more ubiquitous today. This is the type of haunting tale that stays …

There are some rich, intriguing elements dealing with the dread, repulsion and guilt that accompany the caretaking of a sick loved one yet much of it unravels when faced with even the slightest scrutiny and baffling character behavior reigns. For the most part, I have no idea why this movie insists on presenting itself as a mummy movie when mummies seem to be the furthest thing on its mind. Sure, there’s some Egyptian curses involved and a sarcophagus nearly lands on someone’s head but they mostly come off as decorative quota fillers. Spiritually, this movie has much more in common with Stephen King's PET SEMATARY and its too bad they didn’t just go with another title (THE RETURNED, THE CURSED…

I was watching a claymation movie on tv about an older man and his hot air balloon. A commercial came on that traumatized me and left me scared of aliens. I can only relay what I remember filtered through a young child’s eyes and 35 years. The commercial seemed to be for alien insurance or a protection program or something. It almost felt like a psa. It warned of all the risks aliens presented. Showed a series of headshots of the various species of alien that parents had to worry about. All were variations on the classic grey alien. It had a white washed scene of human scientists working in a lab. It ended with a mother and her young daughter. The daughter was playing with a top and the mom left the room for a moment…
