Do you enjoy movies that aren’t great but have…something…about them that appeals, like maybe the cinematography or the idea, but then are ruined by the ending? Then may I recommend The Midnight Man, which, I dunno, I was into it for some weird reason—until I really wasn’t.

Watching a rom-com featuring a ghost who watches someone text and reply with emoji.

“Is that how people communicate now? What do you do with all the time you save?”

*pained grimace from the living* 😬

Uhm, yup, same—nothing that particularly advances society, Ms. Ghost. 😕

Do you enjoy super clever modern takes on Evil Dead? Then may I recommend Deadstream, which has a well-executed great premise and is perfectly performed by the lead. I wish it had a bigger SFX budget but everything else was so well done. Smash that like and subscribe. 👍

Do you enjoy movies about killer Panamanian monsters featuring dialogue like “adorable killing machine!”? Then may I recommend Slotherhouse, which is insane, inane, innovative, and—in its unique way—incredible. I mean, I guarantee you won’t believe it. 🤣

P.S. Yes, it’s an actual film. 😆

My additional wife and I had the complete pleasure of a wonderful new (to us) Switchventure at Simple Goodness Sisters, a tiny place in a town so tiny it has no cell service! This was our flight of soda and board of meats and cheeses. We also got ice cream and panini. They even had a special live music event during our visit.

I’m so looking forward to this weekend—additional wife is over for An Entire Weekend! She’s already here for tonight’s pizzatainment and is staying through Sunday. It’s been forever since the stars aligned so! There is excite! 🥰🎉

Do you enjoy enthusiastically gore-filled rom-coms starring legendary evil figures? Then may I recommend Renfield, which was a delight! This sweet film featuring the darkest evils, most sinister plots, and shocking splatfest kills framing a budding love was grand fun to watch. 😊

Do you enjoy nonsensical purposefully depressing French films that don’t have a point beyond the obvious, say nothing new about anything, and don’t know how to end so just stop? Then may I recommend Lockdown Tower (La Tour) which is…sci-fi horror, I guess? It’s horrible, anyway.

Do you enjoy high tension crazed sniper movies? Then may I recommend Night of the Hunted which, true to its (exceedingly simple) genre, exists for one reason: tension. What this one does different is to ask the why for it all and to pit two cultural exemplars against each other.

Do you enjoy modern throwbacks to Pee-Wee’s Great Adventure, Gremlins, & other ’80s horror comedies that are actually brilliant in writing, acting, direction, and editing? Then may I recommend Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls, which is amazing in executing just that.
