KPop Demon Hunters
A trio of KPop stars in the group HUNTR/X are more than what they appear. They're actually a part of an ancient line of warriors that fight demons. On top of their magical weapons, they have a magic voice that helps them in their fight to seal off their city from the encroaching demons.

In Fear
A couple, Tom and Lucy, had just started dating two weeks ago, and she agreed to go with him to a music festival in Ireland. The movie actually starts with a shot of the countryside while his voicemail plays in the background. He tells her to invite her friends, and they'll all go camping.

Eloise
The movie opens with pictures and news reports of the fire that destroyed the Eloise Asylum back in 1982. As I was watching this, my first thought was, "Wow, this guy has a really good reporter's voice." Turns out, these were real pictures, videos and news reports from when the actual Eloise Asylum burnt to the ground.

Special Report: Zombie Invasion
The bonus video is of what appears to be a small to mid-size TV station covering the zombie outbreak from the beginning to where it's gotten completely out of control. We have an anchor sitting at a desk covering the latest in the breaking situation. He tosses to different live shots, he gets new information handed to him, he has a producer in his ear and at several points he has to fill the air after every live shot that usually ends badly.

Disturbia
I think I've told you this story before, but this movie had one of my favorite movie theater watching stories because it illustrates just how fun it is watching a horror movie with a crowd. It was opening weekend for this movie, and in case you do not go to the movies, opening night for horror is usually insanely packed and rowdy.

The Woman in the Yard
We meet a grieving mother who is not taking the loss of her husband very well. You don't know how he died at first, but she's hobbled in crutches throughout the movie, so you can guess pretty easily that it was a car crash. She's doing her best to put on a brave face for her two kids, but it's eating away at her.

The People Under the Stairs
I'm going to be honest with you, I had never seen this movie before, but I was aware of it at a young age. I think the first time I ever encountered it, it was playing while I was waiting in line for a haunted house. I don't remember the scene, but the little I saw affected me. Along with the title and the poster, it made me hesitant to watch it. The idea of the movie scared me as a kid, and I could never bring myself to sit through it.

Brightburn
The movie can be summed up in one sentence: "What if Superman were evil?" As an aside, the most unrealistic thing about the Superman comics is that in some origin stories, he has his powers as a toddler. There is absolutely no way a toddler would be able to control ultimate power like that. Every time he gets mad or excited, there would be a pile of bodies in his wake. President Baby is the sweetest boy in the world, but toddlers are not rational!

Demonic
Sometimes I wonder which is worse: to be a fan of a team that is consistently good but always lets you down, or to be a fan of a team that is consistently bad. I'm a Notre Dame fan, and under Brian Kelly, they were always good enough to beat bad-to-OK teams, but would lose to good teams. Marcus Freeman has provided a lot more hope, and with that, has come bigger heartbreak. Contrast that with, let's say, the Cleveland Browns, who seem to be destined to the basement of the sta

Vivarium
The movie opens with a teacher, Gemma, doing a fun little exercise with her class of what seemed like 2nd graders. Once class gets out, one of the students notices several baby birds on the ground, dead. Gemma believes it's the work of a cuckoo engaging in what's called brood parasitism.

When Evil Lurks
This movie isn't one where I can give you a more detailed synopsis; it's best to keep this one generic. Summed up, two brothers come across what's called a "rotten." It's a person possessed by a demon. It's pretty destructive in that state, but if you kill it, especially by using a gun, you will release it into the world, and things will get very bad.

War of the Worlds
Ice Cube works for the DHS, and they're tracking this hacker who is threatening to expose what he calls the "Goliath Program," which is a new way for the government to completely spy on everybody; think Big Brother (the book, not the show. As an aside, Keanu carried that season, and he should have won.) While they're trying to track down "The Disruptor," meteors start hitting all over the earth at once. Inside those meteors are giant tripods armed with lasers and murder on th

Dagon
Much like Cthulhu from earlier this month, it takes the name of a monster from an H.P. Lovecraft story and just does a live-action remake of Shadow Over Innsmouth. This, however, is a much more faithful adaptation and is a lot better.

The Colony
So we open up to a snowy wasteland in 2045. The world has been covered in a state of perpetual deep, deep snow. It's been snowing for a long time, and the surviving members of humanity are hunkered down in underground bunkers. It is similar to George Romero's underrated Day of the Dead, but instead of zombies, think a shit ton of snow.

Cube
The movie opens with Death from "Supernatural" waking up inside a weird room with doors on the sides, the floor and the ceiling. Not exactly sure of what he's doing, he picks a door at random and crawls through, only to trigger a trap that gives him a pretty gruesome death. Outside of the Wrong Turn series, things don't tend to go well for that actor in movies or TV shows.

Trap
We start with Cooper (Hartnett) teasing his young daughter as they rush to get to a concert by Lady Raven. Think of her as this universe's Taylor Swift. He's your typical goofy, loving dad as he tries to rile up and calm his teenage daughter, who can barely contain her excitement over the concert. Their interactions are fun and wholesome, and what every dad hopes to get from their kids. You can tell that he's super excited that she's super excited, and their interactions are

Lake Mungo
The movie is a mockumentary about a young girl who drowned while swimming with her family. The film starts off as a normal documentary, and it plays out like a normal true crime story. It gives background, covers her disappearance, the search for her body, it interviews parents, friends and neighbors.

Near Dark
We start with Caleb Colton driving around town in his beat-up truck during what looks like a hot summer night in Texas. He stops at a gas station, and the first thing he does is almost get into a fist fight with his friend. After that, he meets a pretty drifter named Mae and offers her a ride home.

Howl
A train guard, fresh off learning he did not get his promotion, learns from his dickhead supervisor that he has an unexpected double and he'll be on board the red eye from London to Eastborough. You see from that interaction that he's not one for confrontations and tends to let people push him around.

Sweet Revenge
I had to look this up, but the Friday the 13th lawsuit and the fallout have been going on for nine years! Nine years we've been dealing with this shit. I've talked about it ad nauseam...I'm trying to say is that there's been a serious lack of Jason in my life.
