“Zombeavers”

6.9

The things you find in the depths of Amazon Prime Video… The schlock that makes even Shudder blush.

That brings us to “Zombeavers,” which delivers in kind on its promise for zombie beavers! Turn your brain off and watch the hilarity ensue as this merry band of brainless misfits gets picked off by, you guessed it, zombified beavers! With the production value of an adult film… often also with the script quality of an adult film… you’ll feel better about your next film choice, having had your palate thoroughly cleansed by this legendary piece of art.

“Black Phone 2”

8.2

I really dug the homages to past horror movies in this one! Going full “Nightmare on Elm St.” allowed the story to blossom nicely to a whole other level of terrorizing fun. Ethan Hawke continues to be genuinely terrifying as the Grabber, who gets a well fleshed out backstory in this installment. Really well crafted scares and tension you could cut with a knife. Everything you loved from the first, and more. All without losing its charm.

“Together”

7.2

This will now be what I imagine when my girlfriend says she wants to get closer…

Body horror at its finest with the weirdest, yet perfect Hollywood couple who are the only two I can think of who could pull of this insanity. If you have a weak stomach, bring a barf bag. This one doesn’t hold back. The most moist thing I’ve seen since “The Substance.” Don’t say I didn’t warn you… it gets WEIRD.

“The Conjuring: Last Rites”

8.2

Was it great? Of course. Was I also happy that this is the end? Also yes. A cinematic victory lap emptying out all the greatest hits, as Ed and Lorraine saddle up for one last ride. There’s a lot to like here, a lot of good scares, and a great deal of ridiculousness that gives this cinematic universe its charm. A fitting, albeit long in the tooth finale to the series.

“Screamboat”

6.9

Was “Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey” too high brow for you? Well, have I got the movie for YOU!

The rat is genuinely terrifying for a number of reasons… the story has the narrative weight of “Sharknado”… and the thing devolves into madness from the get-go. If you don’t mind losing a few brain cells and/or want to root for the downfall of Disney intellectual property now entering the public domain – this is your cinematic universe.
