Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

Before I say anything else about this movie, I need to offer the biggest Content Warning AND Spoiler Warning I’ve written yet. This movie is about, and depicts, suicide, depression, and bullying, including driving others to suicide.

First and foremost, happy birthday to my little brother! This one’s for you!

Ugh, well, this movie was boring. Not terrible, but terribly boring. Which is a real shame! There was a lot that could have been great!

Happy Arbor Day! Is your turkey in the oven?

Well, HERE is a silly B Movie I can get behind. Seriously, I knew I was going to like this from minute one.

Okay, honestly, I feel a little bad here. In my head I’m thinking “this is the only Alex Garland I’m really familiar with!” but then it turns out I’m super wrong…I just didn’t realize Alex Garland was involved?

This is a bad movie. Just…epically bad. Well, not epically bad (I did give it two stars, after all), more like run-of-the-mill bad, but bad nonetheless. It might be my least favorite M. Night Shyamalan film?

Happy Earth Day! Here’s a South African eco-horror indie film for you. Well, maybe not for you. It depends on how you feel about slow burn horror movies, I guess.

I’m pretty sure I saw this originally in theaters, when I was young enough to be a big horror fan but too young to really have big deep thoughts about movies. And I remember liking it back then! I mean, Mira Sorvino, Giancarlo Giannini, AND Charles S. Dutton? What’s not to like?

I know I have already said a few times not to watch things if you’re a dog lover…well, this is like the epitome of movies not to watch if you’re a dog lover.

Well I definitely liked this better than the original. For a few reasons, really. But it’s definitely not perfect.

I liked this movie okay, but I have very little to say about it.

So I don’t know if you’ve watched Stranger Things, but if you have, you might recognize Joe Keery, who plays Steve. Well, Kurt Kunkle is not Steve. Not even a little.
