FlixChatter Review: 28 YEARS LATER (2025) – A wonderful addition to the horror series… beautiful, thoughtful, scary, and well-acted
Directed by Danny Boyle While I obviously love horror, zombie movies have never been my favorite subgenre. There are only a couple I've genuinely loved enough to watch multiple times, and one of those is 2004's 28 Days Later. In addition to having a simple but terrifying design for the zombies, it strikes the …
FlixChatter Review: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)—can’t beat the original, but this one is a surprisingly enjoyable sequel
Tim Burton's 1988 film Beetlejuice is the first live-action movie I remember seeing. My dad showed it to me when I was four or five years old; it gave me recurring nightmares and taught me an especially crass swear word. In Dad's defense, it was only rated PG (the '80s were a lot more generous …

FlixChatter Review: The Damned (2024)—an eerie psychological horror film set in 19th-century Iceland
Directed by: Thordur Palsson Written by: Jamie Hannigan While we here in Minnesota are having a relatively mild (albeit wet) summer, it might be hard to imagine being chilled to the bone this time of year. However, today's movie, with its icy setting and shiver-inducing plot, will do just that. The Damned follows Eva (Odessa …
FlixChatter Review: TOTALLY KILLER (2023) – A silly and scary good time for your Halloween watch list
Directed by: Nahnatchka Khan Written by: David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver, Jen D'Angelo A friend of mine recently told me he prefers watching horror comedies over straight-up horror movies during the Halloween season, and I can understand that preference. While the month of October is universally known as "spooky season," the tone is usually a healthy …
