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

The Whisper Man

2026

Thriller Crime +1

Solid serial killer movie. Kind of reminded me of Longlegs without all of the occult stuff going on.

De Niro being a dick

Science Fiction Drama +1

Always wanted to see this. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Love stuff set in psych wards

American Heart

1992

Crime Drama +1

Jeff Bridges fresh out of prison trying to deal with his troubled son. Heavy Tom Waits on the soundtrack

5B-

Backrooms

2026

Horror Mystery +1

Pretty cool. Wanted to like it more than I did. The vibe first half really worked for me but it kind of dwindled towards the end

6A-

The Golden Glove

2019

Crime Thriller +2

German serial killer flick with a very disgusting/gritty vibe. Based on a true story. Opening scene is A1 and sets the tone

At Close Range

1986

Crime Drama +1

Pretty solid. Nothing amazing

Blind watch. Hit me right in the feels. Great performances

9B+

The Shining

1997

Sci-Fi & Fantasy Drama

One of the best of the old King miniseries

This movie was much darker than I anticipated

11B+

The Jacket

2005

Drama Mystery +3

Always remember seeing this at Blockbuster but never renting it. Was pleasantly surprised with it

12B-

Child of God

2014

Crime Drama +1

Alright adaptation. Don’t know if anyone could have done much more with the source material

13B

He Was a Quiet Man

2007

Comedy Drama +1

Dark comedy about a man planning to shoot up his workplace. Enjoyed it. Some of the visuals in it were eh but other than that pretty solid

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

Mississippi Burning

1988

Drama Crime +2

RACISM. Good movie. Racist Mississippi sheriffs department gets the FBI on their ass

16A-

Interstellar

2014

Adventure Drama +1

Neglected this one for a long time due to length. Very good

17B+

The Good Son

1993

Drama Thriller +1

Culkin being a dick

18B+

Leaves of Grass

2009

Comedy Crime +1

This one was goofy fun. Edward Norton playing twin brothers

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+

Pulse

2001

Horror Thriller +1

Japanese horror mood. Rewatch. Not a perfect movie but ominous as hell and probably my favorite from the era and region.

21A-

Cure

1997

Crime Horror +1

Another one from the director of Pulse. Interesting plot involving hypnotism and killings. Dude is good at creating an atmosphere

Horror movie of the year for me. Dude is 3 for 3 so far and probably the best director horror has had in quite awhile. Excited to see what he does next

So much cool shit crammed into a short runtime. Music and art are borderline perfect

Rules

Action Animation +1

Pretty cool sci-fi stuff. A bit slow at times

26B+

Another Day in Paradise

1998

Thriller Crime +1

Another “slice of a miserable life” film from Larry Clark. A slight step below Kids and Bully for me but it did make me sad which earned it the A-

27B

Normal

2026

Action Crime +1

Decent action/comedy. Preferred it over Nobody 2

Had seen bits and pieces of this but never the whole thing. Good stuff

French home invasion flick that is tense as hell. Short and sweet at just over an hour and the setting towards the end is awesome

Russian mafia stuff. Pretty solid. Tim Roth and Edward Furlong

31B

Mr. Harrigan's Phone

2022

Drama Horror +1

Decent King adaptation. I haven’t read If It Bleeds yet so don’t have context to compare but solid for what it is

Pretty cool. Should probably take a break from movies that claim they curse the viewer lol

33B

Interview with the Vampire

1994

Horror Drama +1

First time seeing this one. Much better than Queen of the Damned. Didn’t blow me away either but I’m also not big on period pieces when it comes to movies

34C

Time of Death

2025

Thriller Horror +1

Mystery movie about the bureau of corrections investigating a prison where something suspicious happened. Actually enjoyed it quite a bit up until the last 10 or 15 minutes which seemed wildly unnecessary

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
