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

THE INCOMPARABLE LIN SHAYE IS THE LANDLADY FROM HELL IN "ROOM FOR RENT" (2019)

 
If you answer an ad and see this woman open the door then run in the other direction fast as you can.

The incomparable Lin Shaye stars in Room For Rent, a B-movie thriller that debuted at Sedona Film Festival in 2019. It's a simple, no-frills suspense yarn that lets the story and Shaye's performance carry the weight. The end result is quite a decent 81-minute watch. Shaye rents a room in her house to a young man (Oliver Rayon) and starts to come on to him in various creepy ways. If you've ever been in any roommate situation that didn't turn out well then this flick will make your skin crawl more than once. 

Room For Rent currently streams on Tubi, Freevee and Vudu Free. Check it out! 2.75 stars/2.75
