Here are some quick reviews from this week’s movies. Check out the full schedule here.
Carrie (1976) – 9/10 – Way more slapping than you probably remember. Girls slapping boys, boys slapping girls, teachers slapping kids. No one can talk to each other in this movie. They just slap. Slapping aside, it’s still pretty great.
Martyrs Lane (2021) – 6/10 – Slow burn that is more suspense than horror. Good story and good use of a low budget.
Malignant (2021) – 6/10 – I’ve seen some terrible reviews of this one, including people who are saying they turned it off halfway through. But the final act is crazy! Make sure you stick around.
Sometimes They Come Back… Again (1996) – 3/10 – Steven Keaton from Family Ties + a young Hilary Swank + typical CGI effects and acting for mid-’90s low budget horror sequels = exactly what you’d expect.
Sometimes They Come Back… For More (1998) – 1/10 – This is one of the worst movies you would ever see if you were crazy enough to watch it. How in the world did we get from a pretty good Stephen King adaptation to whatever this is in only three installments? I assume this was one of those cases where a movie was written and possibly even filmed before being acquired by the studio as a “sequel.”
