The Triangle (2016)

Running Time: 1hr 34min
Release Date: June 28, 2016
Written/Directed by: David Blair, Nathaniel Peterson, Adam Pitman, Andrew Rizzo, Adam Stilwell

Review by: Stacey



A found footage movie about a "cult"?  Sign me up!  I had actually heard about The Triangle (not to be confused with '09s time-bending Triangle) a while back, but what drew me to it (ff and cults) was also what turned me off to rushing to see it.  As I've mentioned several times before, the sub-genre is a guilty pleasure of mine, but also one that is FULL of more misses than hits, so I usually go into these with some trepidation; not to mention most horror flicks about cults seem to follow the same formula.  I was sure The Triangle was going to follow in the same footsteps as movies like The Sacrament, but lemme tell ya, I was pretty surprised by this one.

Texas Frightmare Weekend 2018: Last House on the Left special guests and Arrow Video release!

As if I needed more of a reason for us here at To Avoid Fainting to attend this year's TEXAS FRIGHTMARE WEEKEND horror con (yes, we will be there this year)!

TFW has just announced some awesome guests and a super rad Arrow Video release that I will most definitely need to be getting my hands on.

"Texas Frightmare Weekend Presenting Sponsor Arrow Video is bringing two very special guests to our May 4-6 event. In celebration of Arrow Video’s upcoming and previously unannounced release of Last House on the Left please welcome Jeramie Rain and Marc Sheffler!

 We're also very excited to give you a first look at the cover art by celebrated artist Paul Shipper."

While you're at it, check out my review for Last House on the Left, which also happens to be the first post I made for the site.

Keep Watching (2017)

Running Time: 1hr 29min
Release Date: Oct 31, 2018
Written by: Joseph Dembner
Directed by: Sean Carter

Review by: Stacey



You know something is up when a movie was shot 4 years before it's release, and when done so, is shown for only one night (Halloween) at 10pm.  It also seems like Bella Thorne is 0-2 when it comes to horror movies she stars in that end up in distribution hell with shit releases (Amityville: The Awakening).  There's a quote that floats around about not getting your hopes up, so then you won't be let down- that can definitely be applied to Keep Watching.

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.

The Open House (2018)

Running Time: 1hr 34min
Release Date: Jan 19, 2018
Written/Directed by: Matt Angel/Suzanne Coote

Review by: Stacey



If you've been reading my reviews for a while now, you probably know that I never try to dissuade anyone from watching a movie, no matter how much I dislike it, so I usually follow that myself when someone tells me not to watch a movie; I like to form my own opinions, y'know?  This time though, I probably should have heeded everyone's warnings abut Netflix original The Open House.
