Written by: Kevin Berge  My big requirement for entering a haunted house: no weird walking dolls. (Image Courtesy of: amazon.com) Quick Take: The Houses October Built takes the found-footage genre in a terrifying direction by exploring haunted houses until the subjects of the haunted house leave their confines. It explores the need of some to seek out terrifying experiences that feels far too real.
TV Review: The Haunting of Hill House10/17/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  There's definitely nothing wrong. What are you talking about? We're all perfectly fine, clearly. (Image Courtesy of: blackyouthproject.com) Quick Take: The Haunting of Hill House is terrifying yet emotionally complex, exploring the struggles of those who have dealt with trauma with an open heart. While certainly a genuine horror series, it works just as well as pure drama, leading an emotionally resonant conclusion.
2020 Film Review: 1BR10/13/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  Welp, that's it. I'm finding a quiet isolated place away from humanity because that's far safer, right? (Image Courtesy of: mauiwatch.com) Quick Take: 1BR has a simple terrifying premise, but it misses the opportunity to expand upon it in interesting directions. With a few good moments and a great ending, it is a good movie that misses the mark on being great.
Written by: Kevin Berge  I would make a timely joke about flies being attracted to dead things, but that would date this. Instead, I'll just say... gross. (Image Courtesy of: empireonline.com) Quick Take: The Autopsy of Jane Doe sets a tone and delivers with its unsettling atmosphere. Every moment is uneasy and tense, driven by an isolated focus rather than a clarity of threat. It is frightening and hard to forget.
Written by: Kevin Berge  This time, Cole can fight back which he will fail to do beyond lucking out repeatedly. (Image Courtesy of: netflix.com) Quick Take: The Babysitter: Killer Queen does not live up to the consistent focus of the original film, but it certainly delivers on continuing the insane bombastic energy of the franchise. It is bombastic and, at times, hard to follow but ultimately still fun violent comedy.
