Recent Watches
Typically a horror nerd but the horror well has dried up pretty good. A lot of these were me just letting Tubi auto play whatever popped up first. Somehow ended up with an unintentional theme of dysfunctional families/serial killers

1A- 2B+ 3A K-PAX
Iain Softley · 2001
Always wanted to see this. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Love stuff set in psych wards
4B 5B- 6A- 7B 8A 9B+ 10B 11B+ 12B- 13B 14A- No Way Home
Buddy Giovinazzo · 1997
Buddy Giovinnazo flick. His movie Combat Shock is one of my feel bad favorites. Can’t say I’d recommend it to most people (shoestring budget/very slow moving). This one is probably more likely to be enjoyed by most. Tim Roth is awesome here
15A 16A- 17B+ 18B+ 19A- Tomie
Ataru Oikawa · 1998
Another rewatch. Been well over a decade since I’d first watched this and didn’t remember much about it. Wonderfully weird Junji Ito adaptation. Never got around to seeing the sequels but I’m going to try to track them down even though I’ve heard it’s essentially the same thing over and over
20A 21A 22A- 23B+ 24B 25A- 26B+ 27B- 28A- 29A- 30B+ 31B 32B+ Incantation
Kevin Ko · 2022
Pretty cool. Should probably take a break from movies that claim they curse the viewer lol
33B 34C 35B 36B+ Trucks
Chris Thomson · 1997
Another King adaptation. Possibly the best movie about bloodthirsty trucks ever made, if not the best it surely has to be top 5. Even the RC trucks are OUT 4 BLOOD (there’s also hazmat suits at one point with a company patch on them that says “TIT” shits lit folks)
37A- Maximum Overdrive
Stephen King · 1986
Another King adaptation based on the same story as Trucks. Also the only movie King ever directed himself which was always wild to me that he chose this one out of all of the other adaptations that were made. Not being made for tv it has more action going on and is definitely the better of the two. Just pure dumb fun tbh. Also it’s not just bloodthirsty trucks in this one it’s machinery in general. The vending machine bit is my favorite
38B+ Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Tommy Lee Wallace · 1982
Movie would get a lot more love if looked at as a standalone given there’s no Myers in it. Classic
39B+ Psychic Agent: The Gate Program
Ryder Lee · 2026
Documentary about remote viewing/CIA programs that leads into government involvement in gifted student programs. I liked it but I’m also nerdy about this shit
40D Tideland
Terry Gilliam · 2005
Warped movie from the director of Fear & Loathing and 12 Monkeys. A young girl with drug addict parents ends up alone in a secluded, abandoned house. Basically a real fucked up fairytale kind of story that mostly revolves around the girl having conversations with herself via Barbie doll heads she puts on her fingers. I really liked the opening of this but it felt like it went on about an hour too long and just generally went a direction that was not for me
41B+ 42A- 43B+ Hate Thyself
Shivaan Makker · 2025
Serial killer movie loosely based on the “Kansas City Butcher” Robert Berdella. I’m pretty easily satisfied when it comes to these kinds of movies and while this one wasn’t perfect it was definitely gritty and got the vibe right. I will say the dialogue is stupidly quiet. Had the tv cranked and still needed subtitles at times and at the end the subtitles were so far ahead that they were giving away what was going to happen before it did lol. Recommend to fans of the genre. Also more than likely one of Tony Todd’s (Candyman) last roles
44A- Martyrs
Pascal Laugier · 2008
Rewatch. Saw it when it first got an American release but hadn’t revisited until now. My favorite of the French extreme movies although I love them all. This came out when the “torture porn” craze had taken over horror and while I liked some of those movies it wasn’t the greatest era. Martyrs has a depth to it that the others lacked. One of those movies that doesn’t really quite hit you until the credits roll a bit
45A Spider
David Cronenberg · 2002
A man gets out from an extended stay in an Insane asylum and moves into a halfway house. The film then follows him reliving traumatic events from his childhood as he scribbles the story into a notebook. I’ve owned the dvd of this for well over a decade and just never got around to it. Very underrated and overlooked Cronenberg movie. Definitely not for everyone. Somewhat of a slow burn and dreary as hell.
46B+ 47B Passenger
André Øvredal · 2026
New one from the director of Autopsy of Jane Doe. A couple dedicates to the van life and get marked by a demon that’s latched onto travelers throughout time. Real jumpscare heavy which I’m not normally big on but it had some cool ideas and shots. The bit with the projector and hazards in particular were dope along with the moments leading up to the conclusion. Hoping the director will do something that hits like Jane Doe again eventually. This wasn’t quite it. Pretty fun ride though
48A- 49A- Night Patrol
Ryan Prows · 2026
Horror featuring Justin Long, Freddie Gibbs, YG, CM Punk and Flying Lotus. I’ve been rating things on IMDb as I watch them and according to IMDb I think I may be the only person that enjoyed this movie. The first review states “why was this made? Who is the target audience?”. The target audience was I, I and I alone. A mix of gang shit, horror, dirty cops, conspiracies and occult shit. Due to the general consensus I won’t recommend this to anyone because it seems like I may have bad taste. I get joy out of my bad taste though so I’m going to stick with it lol
50A Cemetery Man
Michele Soavi · 1994
Rewatch. I love this movie so much. Basically a wacked out dark comedy/romance movie with zombies thrown in. Soavi was a very underrated director from the Italian scene back then. It’s a shame he didn’t do more. Favorite moments are the hospital scene and the mental ward scene. “You looked much better the last time we talked on the phone” lol
51B+ The Guardian
William Friedkin · 1990
Folk-ish horror flick about a couple hiring a nanny that has nefarious plans for their baby. From the director of The Exorcist. This one was cool. Essentially the nanny sacrifices babies to this dope looking tree. Sam Raimi was apparently supposed to be involved in this but ended up doing Darkman instead. It probably would have fared better with his name attached. Worth a watch
52A The Vanishing
George Sluizer · 1988
A young couple is on a road trip and the girlfriend ends up getting abducted. Three years go by and the abductor begins sending the boyfriend postcards. His obsession with uncovering the truth leads to the crumbling of his new relationship and an urge to meet the abductor for answers. This movie gets brought up frequently in “most disturbing movies” discussions. I don’t know if it really fits the bill in that regard but it did take a really interesting approach in how it handled the topic. Spoiler
53B+ Pin
Sandor Stern · 1988
Oddball psychological horror/thriller about a boy who has conversations with his father’s anatomy doll. His parents die later on and he moves the doll into the house where he lives with his sister. This one was weird but it worked for me. The director only did TV movies aside from this but he also wrote the original Amityville Horror screenplay. Always been an obscure one that rarely gets mentioned and definitely doesn’t fit in with the other genre films that were coming out at the time
54A- Ghostland
Pascal Laugier · 2018
(Incident in a Ghostland) another psychological movie. This one is extremely dark and plays out like some hellish fairytale. Also another one from the director of Martyrs. I wasn’t a fan of his English language debut The Tall Man so I stalled on checking this out. Great tension throughout and also touches on some similar themes to Martyrs. I really enjoyed this one and plan to give The Tall Man another shot soon.
55B 56B 57B Raising Cain
Brian De Palma · 1992
Brian De Palma multiple personality thriller. A man discovers his wife cheating and his other personalities take over. He’s also abducting children for a study that his father is trying to do relating to developmental stages. Realistically this is probably more of a B- than a B but I like the plot quite a bit so I was generous. The execution wasn’t quite there though. Definitely not De Palma’s best
58A The Man from Earth
Richard Schenkman · 2007
One location completely dialogue driven science fiction movie. I’d always heard this was one of the best in the genre but I tend to space out watching the highly praised ones due to the fact that there are very few left that I have interest in. This one didn’t disappoint. The plot is a teacher deciding to move abruptly and he gathers his coworkers for a farewell. He tells them he’s lived for 14,000 years and that he moves on every 10 years when the people in his life realize he doesn’t age. The whole thing is basically just the other teachers picking his brain/trying to disprove him. It’s just an hour and a half of cool, thought provoking/existential conversation with good performances. Loved it. There’s a sequel that I’ll watch eventually. They tacked the trailer on over the credits and it honestly looked pretty bad. The fact that this director went from doing porn, to doing this and then following it up with Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies and I Spit On Your Grave 3 is insane to me lol
59B+ 60B- Hellraiser: Bloodline
Alan Smithee · 1996
Celebrating the new Hellraiser Revival game by watching one of the sequels that I don’t revisit often. Many only enjoy the first two, which isn't unreasonable because they are much better than the rest. This one is pretty solid too though and I enjoy the background on the creation of the box. Also forgot Adam Scott was in this lol. Side note: Hellraiser game is dope so far. Haven’t been excited for a new game in a long time and very happy to finally have another horror franchise game that isn't just a Dead By Daylight/Friday the 13th style online game
61A- Pi
Darren Aronofsky · 1998
Aronofsky’s full length debut. I’d tried to watch this when I was a teen and I liked the stylistic approach it had but checked out pretty early and never finished it. A mathematician comes across a 216 digit number and believes it to be a string that somehow cracks the meaning of life/nature. He becomes more obsessed/paranoid and factions come in that want the number for their own purposes. Weird one. I liked it a lot. It derailed for me a bit when the conflict came in with the other people but it reeled it back in pretty quickly. The ending worked for me too.
62A Possession
Andrzej Żuławski · 1981
I love this movie. I’m not going to act like I fully understand what the director was trying to say with it nor do I really care to. It’s unhinged and I can’t say I’ve seen another like it and I’ve watched a lot of strange shit over the years. The lead actress has one of the most Insane performances I’ve ever seen. The plot is a man coming home after being away for his job for an extended period. He finds out his wife has been having an affair and hires someone to follow her. Things are discovered and shit is way weirder than expected. There’s some quotes that I love here ex- “Because you think you’ve given her supreme pleasure? With your yin-yang balls dangling from your zen brain?” or “I met a man who loved everything, and he died in a flood of shit.”. It’s got a real nightmare logic nonsensical vibe to it with a lot of chaos and philosophical ramblings mixed in. Not a movie I would likely ever recommend to anyone but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
63B+ The Rule of Jenny Pen
James Ashcroft · 2025
A judge has a stroke while sentencing someone and ends up having to stay in a retirement home. There’s a man there that is a little more spry than the rest who gets his rocks off by mentally and physically torturing his fellow rest home attendees. The title comes from a puppet he wears named “Jenny Pen”. This was solid. Lithgow really nailed his part. Interested to see what this director does in the future
64A- Funny Games
Michael Haneke · 1997
Probably the most interesting home invasion movie ever made. Love the opening especially going from calm and serene to Naked City blasting when the title card pops up. The director also did a shot for shit English language remake. Rating would be higher but it’s a very grating watch, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
65Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald
Judd Apatow · 2026
Documentary of probably my favorite person to live in my lifetime. Don’t really know how to rate it because it was essentially just a clip show. It did have a clip in it that I had never seen before which I was shocked by because I thought I’d seen everything. Grew up watching Norm on talk shows and snl reruns. If you haven’t watched any of his stuff I highly recommend it. Very dry and absurd humor. Me Doing Stand Up and many of his interviews never fail to make me laugh. RIP to the legend
66B+ Thinner
Tom Holland · 1996
Another King adaptation from the director of Child’s Play and Fright Night. An overweight attorney runs over a gypsy while getting roadhead from his wife. He pulls strings to get off with no consequences and an old man from the gypsy group curses him. He begins to lose weight at a rapid pace and tries to track down the curse giver and convince him to drop it. This one is goofy fun. Feels more like a dark comedy than a horror flick most of the time
67B+ The Langoliers
Tom Holland · 1995
Another King/Holland one that was originally a tv miniseries. This one frequently gets brought up as the worst King adaptation by many. It may just be super nostalgic for me but it’s one of my favorites. Rating gets dropped a bit just because the effects are laughably bad (which was pretty common for the miniseries but this one is a standout in the level of bad). Plays like an extendo Twilight Zone episode. The villain makes paper ripping seem so therapeutic
68B+ 69B+ Wolf Man
Leigh Whannell · 2025
Pretty good Wolf Man movie. I almost rated it lower but think I was judging it a little too harshly just because of how much I enjoyed the directors other film's. Definitely would say this is a step down from Upgrade and Invisible Man. Good performances and atmosphere though. Haven’t watched the Hopkins Wolf Man since it came out but I enjoyed this more
70B+ 71B- Killers
Mike Mendez · 1996
Infamous brothers escape death row after murdering their parents. They hole up in a house with a family that ends up being just as twisted as them. I liked the concept of this one but the execution especially towards the end didn’t really do it for me. Had some cool moments though. More of a horror comedy kinda vibe
72A+ Let's Scare Jessica to Death
John D. Hancock · 1971
A woman gets out from a mental institution and leaves the big city to live in a secluded area with her husband and their friend. When they arrive a squatter is living there and they invite her to stay. Jessica begins hearing voices and seeing things again but is unclear whether it’s her mental illness or something more sinister. This movie is slow but it’s so beautiful and oozing with atmosphere. 70’s films just hit different when they do hit for me and this one definitely did
73B+ 74B+ 75A Hesher
Spencer Susser · 2010
TJ’s mom dies in a car accident and he encounters an unhinged man named Hesher who just barges into his house and decides he’s living there. Chaos ensues. I really enjoyed this. I saw a little piece of it when it came out and got the wrong idea about the kind of film it was. Oddball movie about grief. Has a ton of different vibes going on. Probably not for everyone but I loved it
76A- Maléfique
Eric Valette · 2003
Dope low budget French horror that was pretty damn ambitious. Prisoners find a grimoire in their cell written by an inmate in the 20’s who was trying to escape by way of black magic. The movie consists of the prisoners trying to grasp how to use the book to escape themselves. This was executed really well. I miss this era of low budget/no budget filmmaking. Late 90’s to the early 2010’s there was some really cool shit coming out
77A Project Hail Mary
Phil Lord · 2026
This movie made me very happy. Enjoyed it much more than I expected to
78B- Compliance
Craig Zobel · 2012
Following up a movie that made me happy with a movie that was dreadfully depressing and aggravating. I actually mixed up another movie I want to see (Coherence) and ended up watching this instead. This film is about those calls that were happening in the 2000’s. Someone would call a fast food chain claiming to be a cop and convince the person in charge to strip search employees and do other various terrible things. One of these stories was big around the time I was in school and this one closely resembles that case. The true story is insane. This film isn’t bad but I have no idea what to rate it because it is pretty much just a retelling of a horrible thing that happened. One of those movies that just kind of pisses you off as you watch it.

I've never heard of Dead Man Walking. It being directed by Tim Robbins is interesting.
Yeah I didn’t notice he directed until I’d finished it. Looks like he did a few other things too but that was the first I’d seen. Also features a real young Jack Black
