    Nightbreed

    ★★★★★

    Over thirty years ago, I was introduced to Clive Barker's Nightbreed on opening day at a small movie theater on Long Island. Because I was too young to go alone (and I needed a ride), my mother accompanied me, resulting in us being the only two people there. When you go into a theater, you expect to be taken away to a magical place for a short period of time, which is exactly what this film did.

    Founders Day

    Founders Day is a fun slasher that's filled with some bad acting, a broken storyline, and a lousy conclusion, but it was a lot of fun to watch. If you're looking for something to pass the time, this is it.

    The acting.
    The clothing.
    The dialog.
    The vehicles.
    The setting.
    The audacity for having to sit through this.

    Final thoughts:
    "Gotta make room for May!"

    V/H/S/85

    ★★★

    The sixth installment in the V/H/S franchise was... interesting. While it's hard to compare it to the other installments (the first three could've taken place at any time, while these last three were attached to specific years, which you can tell by the "quality" of the tapes and technology), it still delivers.

    I'm glad Shudder took this franchise under its wings as we've received three new films in three years, a gift for us all. As usual, there's great talent…
