Mom and Dad (2018)

Running Time: 1hr 23min
Release Date: Jan 19, 2018
Written/Directed by: Brian Taylor

Review by: Stacey



When a movie immediately starts off with the implied death by train of an infant, you know you've stumbled on something wild.  It's not every day that you get to see a movie with Nic Cage intentionally acting insane because that's what his role calls for; and it's not too often that we get to see a movie where the parents are the ones going psycho and killing their children.  Mom and Dad ticked off a lot of boxes for me in terms of fun and silly.

Videodrome (1983)

Running Time: 1hr 27min
Release Date: Feb 4, 1983
Written/Directed by: David Cronenberg

Review by: Stacey



"Long Live The New Flesh!"

There's probably a lot to unpack about Cronenberg's eerily prophetic sci-fi-ish horror flick, Videodrome, when it comes to society and mass media but honestly I feel like I wouldn't be saying anything that hasn't already been waxed over by other sources.  I can, however, attest to the fact that Cronenberg was definitely on to something (whether he thought his ideas would ever actually come to fruition or not) with mass media/technology/reality tv becoming something that almost rules our lives these days.

Fender Bender (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 31min
Release Date: May 23, 2016
Directed/Written by: Mark Pavia

Review by: Stacey



The slasher movies of the 80's seem to hold a special place in the hearts of the majority of us in the horror community, but at the same time we tend to side-eye anything that comes out nowadays that even resembles a slasher.  Mostly because anything done now that follows the slasher formula ends up feeling tired and also because it's hard to create an iconic villain with the likes of Freddy or Michael (that's not to say there aren't a couple out there that are up to par, but it's usually few and far between).

Young Frankenstein (1974)

Running Time: 1hr 46min
Release Date: December 15, 1974
Written by: Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks
Directed by: Mel Brooks

Review by: Ash



I typically don't go to movie theaters as a rule.  Why pay $15 for one movie ticket then pay way too much for the food there when the movie you are about to see might be horrible? So it means something when I actually throw down that ungodly amount for a ticket to see something on the big screen. This time it was for Young Frankenstein.
