B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - DEAD END (2003)

Made for less than a million dollars, the slightly obscure Dead End is a chilling little indie you don't want to miss. It might just be the best Christmas horror movie no one ever heard of and every dollar is up there on the screen. It's quirky, weird, funny, bizarre, and scary all at once. Black comedy for sure but much more, this would make a nice double feature with The Perfect Host, another movie we're big on around here. So, grab some eggnog and a snack or two and check out the inimitable Ray Wise with legendary Lin Shaye as they take their family down a wrong turn, what's up with this road? Why doesn't it end? After all, they're just trying to make it to Christmas Eve dessert at Frank's mother's house. Tubi, Plex, Freevee, enjoy! 2.75 stars/2.75

WILFORD BRIMLEY AND LEVON HELM ARE TRAIN ENGINEERS WHO STEAL THEIR COMPANY'S LOCO AND DRIVE STRAIGHT TO HEADQUARTERS TO VOICE THEIR OPINION IN "END OF THE LINE" (1987)

 

Have they gone loco? Some great names in this small town charmer. No pun intended but its a little slow in it's roll to get started but once they steal the train and start their journey things pick up. The third act is the best, without spoiling things, let's just say when they finally corner the CEO of the company to get the answer to their question, well he's not exactly the kind of leader they expected. Was considered an obscure train movie til it hit the streaming world a few years back. Currently streaming free on Vudu, Plex & IMDB. Suitable for the whole family.  3.0 stars/5
