Screamboat (2025)


I'm not sure how long this phase of turning children's cartoon characters into slasher villains will last but in the case of Screamboat, I hope not long but I'm not holding my breath. David Howard Thorton known as the Art the Clown in the Terrifier films plays Mickey Mouse and I can appreciate the effort he puts into both characters, despite Screamboat's script being absolute crap. I'm reluctant to see what they cast David into next. He did play a horror version of The Grinch titled "The Mean Ones" which I haven't seen at the time of this writing but hopefully in the fall, I'll check it out. Now, if you plan on watching this film, don't go into it expecting a full on horror movie because you'll be disappointed.  You need to expect the following: atrocious acting, annoying New York accents which caused my brain to go numb, and comedy. A lot of the kills our Mickey Mouse character does goes straight for laughs then scares. I'll be honest, I chuckled at some of the kills which while funny at times, I rolled my eyes at the rest. I suspect that now since Mickey Mouse is in the public domain, more slasher films will be made around his character and I'm willing to also bet that Mickey's friends, Donald, Goofy and his girlfriend Minnie will eventually get their own films as well. 

It'll be interesting to see what transpires next.

Demon City (2025)

When one thinks of a title like Demon City. You're thinking to yourself, a Japanese horror flick?? No, it's an action flick. I was a little misled by the title, thinking it was a horror film because the dialogue in the film keeps referencing the word "demons" but as I continued to watch Demon City, I realized that it was a straight up action flick. I would say it's more of a Japanese knock-off of the John Wick franchise but more violent. The story has been done many times before. I guess people are used to cookie cutter plots. Don't get me wrong, I love action movies and I love Chinese, Japanese action flicks but sometimes they can be a little repetitive. Demon City is decent, but it's all been done before. 3/5

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

Image
Every once in awhile, there's always a killer clown film that ends up being good, It, Clown... There's a few more but they escape me at the moment. Unfortunately, Clown in a Cornfield isn't a good film. Despite some cool kills and a interesting premise, there are two things that stood out to me when watching the film. The pacing was sluggish which tuned me out at times which is a shame because I really wanted to like Clown in a Cornfield. The script needed work which results in it's clunky pacing and if there's one thing I despise it's social media influencers. Every horror film I've seen has characters that are addicted to social media and all I want to say is a get a job. I can't stand them at all. But I'm trailing off here. Apparently, this is based on a book series and they are coming out with book 4. If they really want to do another film, I suggest writing a strong script to maintain the pacing or *shudder, a soft reboot of the film. I can'...

Alien Rubicon (2024)

Alien Rubicon has no affiliation with the Alien film series. It was made by one of my favorite studios, The Asylum who specialize in making knock-off movies of big budget Hollywood films. Most of the time they're better than the Hollywood film they're making fun of and Alien Rubicon is no exception. With it's bad CGI effects, bad acting, Alien Rubicon is a fun bad movie that tries to not be serious but you can't help but laugh at how bad it is. I grew up watching movies like these to laugh at and make fun of and now as I get older, I begin to appreciate bad movies more. 1/5
