Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “James Caan is great, of course, but the center of gravity is Kathy Bates. The entire movie hinges on the believability of her performance. This is no easy task when you consider the range of emotions that have to be conveyed effectively. ” – Cultured Vultures Jan 20, 2026 Full Review From Black (2023) 33% 4/10 EDIT “From Black has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the story and pacing make it a slog to get through.” – Cultured Vultures May 5, 2023 Full Review Bong of the Living Dead (2017) EDIT “There are a few missteps here, but the film is a very fun horror-comedy, which of course is what you're expecting when you see a title like this out in the wild.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Feral (2017) 38% EDIT “At the end of the film, we finally get a genuinely moving emotional scene. It's too bad it came so late, because if Feral had concentrated on this kind of emotion instead of its mechanical plotting, we could have had a great film here. Well, too bad.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Monster Party (2018) 77% EDIT “Goddamn, I love this deranged world that Chris von Hoffmann has created. It's crazy, violent, a bit shocking, and a lot of fun.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review e-Demon (2018) 50% EDIT “E-Demon had a neat premise, but that's about it. As soon as the concept wears thin (and it does so very early), you're left with nearly 90 minutes of bad acting and bad plotting.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) 76% EDIT “It's cool to see that he didn't chain himself to the limitations of the mockumentary format. I've actually never seen a film shot like this, so that's pretty cool.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review The Soultangler (1987) EDIT “It's a real treat to watch. The visuals effects are usually pretty good, too.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review #Screamers (2016) 40% EDIT “The poor writing really makes this a mess of a film. There's certainly real talent involved in this production, but they just couldn't pull this one off.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Terrifier (2016) 63% EDIT “On a technical level, the movie is top-notch. The scenes look as though they're lit by natural light, a few bulbs here and there.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Strawberry Flavored Plastic (2019) 100% EDIT “I think this was a worthy idea to explore, and I hope Bemis can flesh these ideas out further, with better attention to pacing and dialogue on the next go-around.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review 68 Kill (2017) 67% EDIT “69 Kill won't bore you, and at least it tries something new, conceptually, but the poor execution will most likely doom it to obscurity.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review The Misguided (2017) 60% EDIT “Wendel is the only real addict in the film, but his personality is so strong that it sucks everyone around him into a powerful vortex. Wendel is himself the main drug here. This is what makes The Misguided particularly interesting to watch.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) 55% EDIT “Honestly, if you're a horror fan, Silent Night, Deadly Night should be an essential part of your Christmas rotation.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Red Christmas (2016) 48% EDIT “It's ultimately a well-done slasher film with an interesting enough gimmick. It's over the top in ways that horror fans are sure to appreciate.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Darkness Rising (2017) 0% EDIT “It has a few interesting surprises, but not enough to really keep the viewer captivated, even within its sparse 80-minute runtime.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Radius (2017) 93% EDIT “Radius is a thriller with a gimmick that could easily have fallen apart in the wrong hands. Luckily, the directors and their cast know their stuff and deliver on a fun almost-thriller with a neat hook.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Better Watch Out (2016) 89% EDIT “Better Watch Out is a fun, surprisingly emotional horror movie experience.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Demons (2017) 33% EDIT “I can get behind movies of any quality that are made with passion, but I just whiff too much cynicism here to really give the filmmakers a lot of credit.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Cold Moon (2016) 73% EDIT “Cold Moon is a dark little tale that takes you into the heart of paranoia and speaks to the real and latent violence of a strange transitional period in the American South.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Anti Matter (2016) 91% EDIT “From a purely visual standpoint, the second act of the film is great.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review The Atoning (2017) 67% EDIT “The Atoning almost becomes arthouse horror, but there's enough B-movie sensibilities about the piece for it to appeal to horror fans of all sorts.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Clowntergeist (2016) 29% EDIT “The acting is okay. The interactions between Emma and her best friend Heather (Monica Baker) aren't totally cringe-worthy and occasionally, sometimes accidentally, charming.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 10, 2019 Full Review EDIT “Circus Kane goes completely off the rails as it attempts to pull off a twist ending. This does not work. Kane does a bunch of preachifying, too, and none of it makes any sense.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Volumes of Blood (2015) EDIT “Some of the stories were quite brief, leading to some pacing issues, but they were all at least marginally entertaining.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 10, 2019 Full Review
