Popcorn Frights 2021, Day 4: The Beta Test (2021) and The Welder (2021)

Finally finishing up these old reviews in time for Spooky Season. The last two movies of Popcorn Frights were a pretty good one (and another one of the occasional non-horror entries in the fest) and, unfortunately, a pretty bad one as well.

Popcorn Frights 2021, Day 3: Cryptozoo (2021), Ditched (2021), Superhost (2021), Offseason (2021), Take Back the Night (2021)

The third day of Popcorn Frights turned out to be an excellent one. Five movies all lined up back to back, and every one of them was at least pretty good, with some real standouts among them.

First up, the token non-horror entry that they usually have each year...

Popcorn Frights 2021, Day 2: Pretty Boy (2021) and We Need to Do Something (2021)

 The second day of Popcorn Frights was capped off by a 35th anniversary screening of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, always a welcome treat in my book. It followed on from two movies that ranged widely in both themes and quality, producing a night that ultimately went two-for-three.

Unfortunately, the crap was front-loaded last night.

And finally -- finally -- I get this last batch of Popcorn Frights reviews out. Consider this my New Year's resolution. The last day of Popcorn Frights' Wicked Weekend went international with trips to the Netherlands, France, and Iceland, along with one last movie I missed on the third night.

We start with...
