Year: 2019

Looking for something to watch on New Year's Eve on Amazon Prime? Ha, you're thinking that's only me with such lame plans for New Year's Eve. But you're wrong. I'll be watching anime. If I were to watch a movie, though, and was too lazy to walk to my shelves and actually insert my…

I hope everyone had a great holiday. It was quiet but restful for me, which was nice. Here's to New Year's Day next week and then B-Fest in February. Whew! Time is a barrelling freight train. Back to another Amazon Prime offering. I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority one this (for obvious) reasons,…

Looking for a good Christmas-themed horror movie on Amazon Prime? Try Rare Exports from Finland. I don't want to get too much into it, but if you liked Troll Hunter, I think you'll like this. For people who get busy, and who knows, maybe I will, Merry Christmas everyone.

Not a great movie by any stretch, but I'm pleased that somebody out there might stumble on it on Amazon Prime like I stumbled on it on my teeny black and white TV set back in the day. (Although they won't have to fiddle with the rabbit ears during the whole thing.)

There are several prints of Devil Bat on Amazon Prime. None of them that I saw were pristine, but a couple at least are watchable. And let's admit it, when we grew up watching it on analogue TV, it didn't look perfect either. Fun, fun movie though.

I don't think Amazon Prime has a lot of Hammer stuff, but they do have at least two later vampire films, the obscure but phantasmagorical Vampire Circus and the boob-obsessed (even for Hammer) Twins of Evil.

Some of the AIP and other poverty row films on Amazon Prime are public domain copies, and range greatly in quality. The copy of Attack of the Giant Leeches is all but unwatchable. Oddly, though, the copy of Attack of the Crab Monsters is quite good. One thing to be aware of, of course,…

Is this the best werewolf movie since The Howling? It's certainly a nominee. Watch it for free if you have Amazon Prime. I hope everyone's having a good run up to Christmas. And a few weeks until 2020! 20 years since Y2K destroyed civilization as we knew it.

Many people, perhaps most, think Ghost Galleon, the third of the four Blind Dead movies, is the worst. I like nautical ghost stories, though, and find the ship setting pleasingly claustrophobic. The whole affair reminds me of a William Hope Hodgson story. Free, assuming you have Amazon Prime.

Ugh. OK, yesterday I have a flu bug thing going, luckily it's gone. Today I got up early (since I slept a lot more than usual yesterday, which was nice), but a Microsoft update patch took a LOT longer to download than I would have thought. I didn't think it would finish before I…
