Movies TV Shows
Bambi: The Reckoning (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The best movie, at least so far, in the Twisted Childhood Universe. Maybe even the whole genre of public domain horror.” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Sneekweek (2016) 2.5/5 EDIT “Offers a straightforward story yet also runs the risk of wearing out its welcome before anything of note happens. ” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Record (2000) 2.5/5 EDIT “Tolerably handles its distillation of I Know What You Did Last Summer. ” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Kucch To Hai (2003) 3/5 EDIT “It’s a stylish spectacle, like so many Bollywood slashers, that has to be seen to be believed.” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Captivity (2007) 9% 2/5 EDIT “Critics have definitely been known to rescind their negative reviews upon reassessment, but in this case, they were right the first time around.” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Far From Home (1989) 3/5 EDIT “While Scream is regarded as Drew Barrymore’s first slasher movie, there should be some consideration for Far from Home as well.” – Bloody Disgusting Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Fear Below (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “There are those shark tales where it's clear there was no desire for uniqueness, causing the final product to get lost at sea, so to speak. Thankfully, Fear Below isn't, or rather it shouldn't be, one of those movies.” – Tales from the Paulside Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Bait (2012) 47% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bait doesn’t even begin to cross the threshold of madness that other subsequent sharksploitation movies have eagerly leapt over, but what it does do, it does well.” – Bloody Disgusting Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Snakehead Swamp (2014) 1.5/5 EDIT “Snakehead Swamp is Syfy slop through and through, but it's edible enough at the right time and the right place.” – Tales from the Paulside May 30, 2025 Full Review Snakehead Terror (2004) 2/5 EDIT “[An] opportunistic eco-cheapo.” – Tales from the Paulside May 30, 2025 Full Review Frankenfish (2004) 3/5 EDIT “Those who have experienced this overlooked creature-feature know rather well how fun it is, once the action kicks in, the titular star emerges from the depths, and the splatter starts hitting the water.” – Bloody Disgusting May 30, 2025 Full Review Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) 26% 1/5 EDIT “Another generic, soulless slasher for the streaming era.” – Tales from the Paulside May 23, 2025 Full Review Carnosaur (1993) 17% 2/5 EDIT “Only one film franchise about killer dinosaurs became successful and popular in the 1990s, and it most certainly was not Carnosaur.” – Bloody Disgusting May 14, 2025 Full Review Grace (2009) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Grace truly deserves an honorable mention, if not a spot, among the best maternal horror stories released in the last twenty years.” – Bloody Disgusting May 11, 2025 Full Review Macabre (2009) 3.5/5 EDIT “Gorehounds will certainly have the gooiest smiles as the carnage here reaches ankle-deep levels.” – Bloody Disgusting May 11, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 73% 2/5 EDIT “At worst, Clown in a Cornfield is a run-of-the-mill slasher movie with a decent plot twist and a handful of satisfying cheap thrills and kills. And for the least demanding fans of this genre, that's more than enough to keep them happy.” – Tales from the Paulside May 8, 2025 Full Review The Forsaken (2001) 9% 3/5 EDIT “In small ways, The Forsaken disobeys the vampire sub-genre and attempts to stake out its own territory. The outcome is more pastiche than peerless, admittedly, but the few unique parts merit consideration.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Ghost Storm (2012) 1.5/5 EDIT “Can be summed up as an extended and somewhat grislier episode of Haven with generous dashes of The Fog thrown in for flavor. If only it had the charm of said Syfy show or any of the same network's quirky supernatural procedurals airing at the same time.” – Tales from the Paulside Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Ghost Town (2009) 2/5 EDIT “Nothing jumps out as particularly memorable in the long run, however, if you've watched your fair share of Syfy's monster offerings, Ghost Town is a decent break from routine.” – Tales from the Paulside Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Lake Bodom (2016) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Lake Bodom is apt to cause whiplash with its various plot developments, some more predictable than others, however, these switch-ups do more than keep viewers on their toes — they give the film an edge over its contemporaries. ” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 21, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 49% 3/5 EDIT “It would be easy — but also wrong — to say nothing of note happens in On Swift Horses. That sense of nebulousness at the end won't be met with wide approval or great acclaim, but it's hard to imagine this story ending any other way.” – Tales from the Paulside Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Screamboat (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “It would be a mistake to overthink Screamboat or overlook its appeal as subversive slapstick, however, like so many comedy bits out there, this movie loses its novelty sooner than later.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Marshmallow (2025) 91% 2.5/5 EDIT “It’s a bit of a trek getting to that huge plot change-up, and while I felt the fatigue and frustration setting in, this movie is a trip still worth taking. Just hang in there and you’ll be rewarded.” – Tales from the Paulside Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Howling (1981) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Joe Dante’s ‘81 rendering is so distinct from its basis that it’s practically a different beast.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Bells (1980) 3/5 EDIT “It’s mainly a straight thriller that dips into psychotronic schlock from time to time. Even so, those spots of silliness, along with the wealth of talent in front of the camera, make this film all the more memorable.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 9, 2025 Full Review
