It might sound strange but I’ve have only seen this movie in full recently. I did see parts of it on TV before but never triggered me enough to watch the whole movie. Also I don’t really have a high opinion on James Cameron as a director. I have seen his first movie Piranha II the Spawning like a week ago which was rather dreadful. Ok I’m quite a fan of the original I must admit. Furthermore I have seen Titanic and Avatar (aka Dancing with the Smurfs) while visually stunning they are rathe... Continue »

Dave Franco's feature length directorial debut is a horror movie, and it came out in 2020. Yeah, movies are actually coming out this year, can you believe that? This one is about two couples taking a weekend in a rental house, and you know something bad is going to happen.

Charlie (Dan Stevens) and his girlfriend Michelle (Allison Brie) are one part of the equation, and Charlie's brother Josh (Jeremy Allen White, Lip from Shameless) and his girlfriend/Charlie's business partner Mina (Sheila Van... Continue »

The first movie was alright. Cage-diving gone wrong with some ridiculous circumstances attached, but enjoyable. With its box office success, a sequel would be guaranteed, but they changed it up a bit. This time... it's uncaged!

I'm not sure the 47 meters down bit holds any relevance anymore, but the same director is doing a survival shark movie, so we're not supposed to overthink it as it isn't really connected with the first movie at all.

This time around, some attractive school girls decide... Continue »

I will post this here rather than on the shoutbox because well, I ended up writing too much and with the limit, it's just not convenient. So for anyone who might have missed it, here are Johan's comments to which I will now respond:

@markus I thought that gory kind of stuff was not your cup of tea?Aren't you the more sophisticated type of horror guy? And what you like Walking Dead that's another surprise.

Oh bryan sannie boy even admitted that himself he isn't much fo

Through the magical power of science, I've developed in complex algorithm to help you discover your own gender, in case you're too dumb to figure it out on your own.

Looks pretty good!

I couldn't sleep the other night, so my brain tells me out of nowhere that in addition to overall Value and Gore ratings, we also need Nudity and Trash ratings. Again, this is something zed did before on his old site, so I got the urge to implement it finally.

I figure it'll help distinguish us from regular rating sites, especially since we're Trash Epics, we need to be able to judge a film by it's trash factor. So feel free to go through the list of movie titles and rate a film by its level of... Continue »

So, how 'bout those 90's Martial Arts flicks? Those were a thing, right? Best Of The Best 2 was pretty sweet, huh? That Cody from Step-By Step kicked some ass in a few movies if I remember correctly. Who could forget the Code-man? I saw this movie recently that really could have used a little of that guy's coolness. A terminally uncool movie that still deserves a little love simply for being so positive in such a negative world. So, today, I gi... Continue »

After watching director Sean Baker's 2017 white trash epic "The Florida Project", I've been wanting to see more of this man's grounded realist sleaze films, and Hulu provided his prior directorial effort, much to my enjoyment.

This film is named so because it's set in Hollywood on and around Sunset Boulevard, and the color scheme of this shot-on-iPhone movie has a strong orange hue to it. Right away, you're introduced to your main characters, which are two transgender black women, in which Alex... Continue »

Back when I was just getting into horror, I was diving into the hardcore stuff, which tended to be Italian sleaze from the 70s and 80s. Dario Argento was always a cool son of a bitch to me though. I loved Suspiria and wanted to dive into some of his other stuff, so I remember catching this one on YouTube back when YouTube was relatively new. Of course, the movie was split into about 10 parts because they had a limit of 10 or so minute videos max, but I'd watched a lot of what would end up being... Continue »

How have I not seen this movie before? I first heard of it recently when I saw rifftrax was going to make fun of it, but I didn't want to hear their commentary. I wanted to see the movie in its pure unedited form.

This movie is kind of perfect. I got that vibe as soon as it started that it was made for me. It's got a shitty title card, awful effects of the meteorite or whatever crashing into earth, and then what happens? We get carried away in the diamond-farming plot of an asshole redneck. Thi...

Like Blood Shack, this is another movie that features a character on the dvd cover art who isn't in the movie at all. They depict a wild-eyed psycho lady, but the killer in this movie is much more mild.

Damn, do I love the horror selection on Amazon Prime. This is a movie that's long been on my watchlist after having seen the Anchor Bay dvd advertised so regularly back in the day, but that misleading cover art made me a bit iffy. Frankly, the image of the woman trying to get through the door di... Continue »

A heads up if people don't know. Film AF is shutting down July 30th. So anyone who has there DVD/Blu-ray collections on there and needs to export it need to do so by then. Although not sure what exporting it and just turning it into a list on excel or word document will do as it kind if defeats the purpose of that site.

You might remember me rambling on recently about how 1989 was a year for undersea mayhem with The Abyss and Leviathan... Well, there's another one. Deepstar Six, directed by Sean Cunningham. You know, the director of Friday the 13th? Well, this one even has a score by Harry Manfredini!

I would have to say for sure that this is the weakest of the bunch. They set this in the "near future" even though there's nothing outlandish about it really. Some undersea exploration team is supposed to build a... Continue »

With Buckethead as Leatherface???

Well this is a very interesting...has anybody heard about this? I'm surprised I haven't. I would love to see it finished someday.

This is an Amicus horror mystery about a wealthy dude who collects a group of suspected werewolves into his secluded mansion so he can narrow down which one of them is the real deal.

When the movie begins, it narrates that it is a detective movie and prompts you to make your guess in this whodunnit. Towards the end, it gives a brief intermission to ask you to make your final guess, and I actually narrowed it down, but I didn't pinpoint who until it became blatantly obvious.

The cast is pretty... Continue »

I'm talking the first movies you were ever exposed to. What were they, and do you still think of them fondly today?

I was born in 1988, so that'll give you an idea of what movies were available in my youth. When I was young as fuck, it was in the age of VHS tapes. I fondly remember a few titles that I'll ramble on about.

One Christmas, my brother received a double feature of Terminator and Terminator 2. We watched the fuck out of those, and even though they were rated R, our parents didn't car... Continue »

I'd like to see your lists if you please. Got some catching up to do.

A page refresh may be required. Now, this isn't anything innovative. I'm just copying Facebook here, where the 'Like' option is a bit more expansive. However, I've added a "Dislike" option to the rest of their defaults, because as it goes, there is a Like and Love, there should be a Dislike and Hate(Angry).

This isn't a culture where people can only express positive feelings. If you don't like something, you should feel free to express your disinterest.
There were many dependencies I had to cha... Continue »

I've heard mixed things about this Netflix original movie back when it came out, so I was hesitant to watch it. It's from a decent director Jim Mickle who did Stake Land (okay at best) and the gritty Cold in July which I thought was a cool movie. Why the hell did I pass up a movie starring Michael C. Hall? Was I retarded or something? You're damn right I was!

So this here is a movie I wont go into too much detail about because the twists are what make it a great experience. The story starts off... Continue »

Because the other one is all lame and gay and buried somewhere on page...whatever

Sea-ing how this month's challenge revolves around them, what are some of your recommendations? It didn't take me long to realize that I don't know many movies that fit this criteria, but I'm sure we can figure out a few. Include lake monster movies too, because those count.


My personal favorite is Humanoids from the Deep (1980), which is short and gives you plenty of kills. If you can count kills that weren't from the monsters, you'd have even more deaths. This movie is balls to the wa... Continue »

This is a great little story set in Texas about an insurance scam that you know right away wont end well. Just in like TCM4, McConaughey plays a fucking creep, and it does it wonderfully. Not that Vilmer and Joe are very similar, because Vilmer was an erratic mess, but Joe is calm and collected. Of course, he still goes off the deep end when someone pushes him, but he's very particular about his routines. Hell, he even threatens to wear someone's face. And then, like any chainsaw movie, there's... Continue »
