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

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A NEW HORROR ICON AND HER NAME IS "MEGAN" (2023) AND "MEGAN UNRATED" (2023)

 

Great news for horror movie fans - Megan is a instant classic. Fans are already clamoring for the sequel and even an old anti-sequel geezer like myself wants more of this crazy little robot. 

With a little Sci-fi, comedy and suspence sprinkled throughout, the producers of Megan know exactly how to push the right buttons while keeping the movie firmly in the horror genre. The special effects are spot-on, perfect really. 

There is very little difference between the unrated and PG13 versions except that the former has some marginal profanity and the kills are slightly more gory. I expected to be rating these separately but they're very much the same film - see the unrated unless you have a younger age group to cater to. Thumbs way up for Megan!  3.75 stars/5
