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...

Cryptozoo (2021)

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.

Nightstream Film Festival, Day 4: Dinner in America (2020), Bloody Hell (2020)

I decided to close out the Nightstream Film Festival's final day with two of its more comedic offerings. The first one wasn't even a horror movie, but a gritty, punk rock romantic black comedy, while the second was a wild thriller that had a bit too many different stories going on at once but still managed to impress.

To start...

Review Double Feature: Yummy (2019) and The Beach House (2019)

Another drive-in double feature courtesy of Popcorn Frights and the horror streaming service Shudder, this time of two movies with very different tones. One worked, the other didn't. Which was which? Read on...

Popcorn Frights, Night 6: The Dark (2018), The Ranger (2018), and Cursed Seat (2018)

Last night was probably the most uneven night of Popcorn Frights, with only one of the three films shown really impressing me all that much.

Let's start...

The Dark (2018)
