Fire City: End of Days (2015)
I honestly don’t remember how Fire City: End of Days came up on my radar. The director’s done stuff, but nothing that would make him stand out as a director. The writers have done little else. And none of the actors are really big names or in really big things. But I was still drawn to the film, mostly because it looked like it had some cool looking monsters. And it did! But basically nothing else worth watching.

The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror (2007)
During October, I came across a list of queer horror movies recommended by writers for NBC News. I’d already reviewed four films on it–Fear Street: 1994, Bit, The Perfection, and Stranger by the Lake*–and the rest are saved to my to-do list. One movie not mentioned was The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror, probably because while this is an undoubtedly gay film, it’s fucking terrible. I honestly don’t know how else to describe it beyond it being an incredibly homophobic gay film.

Needle in a Timestack (2021)
Sure seems like there’s a trend of me watching a non-horror movie during October–a month I just devote to nothing but horror films–that makes me go, “Oh, I have to talk about this.” Last year was Are We Not Cats, and this year it’s the amazingly titled Needle in a Timestack. Teams of people read that name and thought, “This is perfectly acceptable”? Remarkable. Anyway, it’s a movie about time travel and it’s… certainly something.

The Descent: Part 2 (2009)
Happy Halloween! I know I usually do movie posts on weekdays, but today is a very special day. Not only is it my favorite holiday, but this is my 400th post! Not including “basic information” stuff, but still! My 100th post was Viktor un Viktoria because I wasn’t paying attention, my 200th was Collateral Beauty back in January (#ReleaseTheChwinekaCut), and my 300th was Vampire Boys 2: The New Brood during Pride Month because I again wasn’t paying attention. Now here we are with The Descent: Part 2, which you probably figured was a sequel to The Descent, a movie I…

When They Cry: Kai – Season 2, Episodes 6 – 9
So far with When They Cry, an anime about kids trapped in a never-ending loop of death, the longest story arc has been Eye Opening with 6 episodes. I managed to cram all my thoughts into one big-ass post, but there was a real concern at the time about the overall length. Well, now we’re in the second season, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Kai, AKA When They Cry: Kai, where the arcs’ lengths varies all over the place. Reunion was just a single episode, while the arc I’m starting today–Mass Slaughter–is eight. That’s absolutely too long for one post,…
