I watched a bunch of spooky movies this month. i watched most of them on Tubi for free I have been meaning to watch some movies on there but I just never got around to it until this month partly because I did not know it had such a good selection of movies which do ...
seem to rotate out after a set amount of time so some of the movies I am reviewing will be gone today and some might be there permanently of gone in a month or two so catch them quick if anything I watched is on your to watch list. ( 5?10 is average and thats ok)
Phantasm- 7/10
a classic with really good theme music and practical special effects. about a boy who discovers some dark and creepy things going on in the graveyard.
Tubi only had Phantasm I and III so I only watched the first one I think Phantasm II was the one I was curious about in the first place.
Jason X- 6/10
one of 2 movies in the Friday the 13th that were not aired in the marathon I saw on tv last year ( still don't know why they skipped VII but thats the only one left to watch now)
I enjoyed this movie it was fun but flawed I don't have much to say but I think the hate for it is a bit silly
Creepshow 2- 8/10
I think this movie hasn't aged the best but the middle segment " The Raft" is just a compelling and horrifying as I remembered and I highly recommend it.
Remember to always make sure someone knows where you are when you go to an isolated location is just good advice, tho cellphones sort of mitigate this problem- if you have a signal a charged battery
Subspecies I, II, and III- 7/10, 7/10, 5/10
honestly this was one of the best vampire movie series I have seen
this movie is about three college students that go to Transylvania to study the local legends.
this movie is very ambitious with very good practical effects, on set castles and ruins, and to my delight Ray Harryhausen inspired stop motion animation.
and I promise the antagonists constantly blood stained dripping lips will go from a little silly to creepy as the movies go one
theres a spinoff and a 4th movie I didnt watch them. I might later on.
C.H.U.D- 4/10
I Liked the creature designs well enough but this movie was painfully boring and If it was trying to have a message about polution and treating homeless people better i don't think it did that well either
tempted to watch the sequel even tho its supposed to be worse
Warlock I, II, and III- 8/10, 6/10, 4/10
another horror series with beautiful practical special effects this time we have time travel, witchcraft, and the antichrist
the same actor plays the Warlock/antichrist each movie even tho its a different character each time
a delightfully evil character just so over the top with it
avoid the second movie if animal death scenes bother you a lot, theres only one but hoo boy it's a lot.
this series does sadly get worse each movie but I genuinely enjoyed the first 2
Re-animator, Bride of Re-animator- 8/10, 7/10
A movie about a man who is very arrogant and adamant about being able to bring people back to life but they turn into violent mindless monsters every time.
and also a man that should know better and should have kicked him out of his house immediately but instead follows him pretty blindly
Herbert West is both the antagonist and a villain protagonist and I think it is hilarious that he tries to solve every problem by bringing the dead back to life (usually the problem is that he tried to bring the dead back to life)
a better antagonist does arise as well and they are delightfully messed up
contains one very disturbing and prolonged animal death scene
there is also a cute little monster made from a hand and some eyeballs int the second movie. it should be like the series mascot or something but alas it gets squished.
haven't watched Beyond Re-animator yet but I am curious about that one scene
Basket case- 5/10
I actually learned about this movie from Who's Line is it Anyway which is a pretty weird place to learn about such a graphic horror movie from
Casper- 7/10
not all movies I watched were horror or thriller movies
rewatching this I am surprised that it seems to have been completely forgotten.
it was fun, the effects were good, the set was a beautiful spooky mansion with vaguely gothic architechture how is this not a beloved mainstream Halloween classic
Witchouse- 5/10
Tubi's autoplay feature selected this one
a spooky witch themed horror movie with a lot of dead teenagers . its just okay
Nightbreed- 8/10
Rawhead Rex- 5/10
The Pit- 5/10
Black sheep- 5/10
Witches in Stiches- 8/10
Frankenhooker- 6/10
a modern comedic take on Frankenstein
my only question about this movie is why this man who is clearly devoted enough to his thicc dead girlfriend to spend all his time figuring out how to bring her back to life with stolen body parts decides to bring her back super skinny.
a coward that makes Herbert West look heroic by comparison uggh
had a cute little brain monster with an eyeball it lives in an aquarium
May- 6/10
another modern take on Frankenstein in a way, this time the focus is on May a socially awkward woman who gets pushed past the breaking point over and over
this movie also contains an animal death scene, and frankly it was unnecessary for the plot
Bad Taste - No rating
before Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson directed some very weird lower Budget movies
for the second time watching one I can't genuinely recommend it to people ( the first time was Meet the Feebles)
I am not going to criticize this one as much as i could because it was very independently made on a very low budget
Parents- 6/10
Repo! the Genetic Opera- 7/10
Castle Freak- 6/10
The Church- 7/10
Feast- 6/10
Deathgasm- 6/10
Tucker and Dale vs Evil- 7/10
The Stuff- 6/10
Tourist trap- 6/10
The Lair of the White Worm- 7/10
vampires, snake gods, the lambton worm this is a solid fantasy horror movie.
its also vaguely a comedy and I do not usually detect that in most British movies and I probably should not have in this one
there a weird scene where the villainess tells a series of bad and obvious lies and the burns her favorite board game " Snakes and ladders" to convince the protagonist she is telling the truth
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) - 8/10
this ones about a dysfunctional family that move into a spooky old mansion that has a bunch of little monsters living under it deep under its buried and hidden basement that the family opens back up of course.
this is a remake by Guillermo Del Toro I have not seen the original and I know most people prefer the original but I don't think this is by any means a bad movie.
the father can be insufferably mean spirited at times. but hey step mothers get a rare kind representative.
The Babysitter- 9/10
this one is about a boy who discovers his beloved babysitter is doing human sacrifice and stealing his blood for a dark ritual
i watched this one on netflix with friends
its every bit as funny and clever that i hoped for and more
The Babysitter: Killer Queen- 6/10
Deadly Blessing- 4/10
the 4th worst twist killer reveal in a horror movie I have seen, at least there were hints.
Howling 3- 3/10
this movie convinced me that The Howling series really is bad tho i still like The Howling 2
oddly almost heartwarming
Its like the writers couldn't decided between weather this was a werewolf movie with Australian folklore tacked on ( kind respectfully tho I think), or a werewolf/ political drama, or werewolves in the movie industry/hollywood
whoever made the baby marsupial werewolf puppet really wanted it to get the most loving and lingering shots in this movie and it shows
Suspiria (1977) 7/10
the Monster Project- 4/10
Frightmare- 4/10
