The Snarky Cats of Ulthar

I’ve recently watched Grimcutty (2022) and wasn’t impressed, hence this review. Warning: SPOILERS . Parents everywhere are freaking out about the Grimcutty, a meme that’s allegedly making children hurt themselves and others. Asha, a teenage girl who has a tense relationship with her parents, Amir and Leah, and fights stress by making ASMR videos, thinks the whole thing is ridiculous… until she’s attacked in her own home by the Grimcutty itself. However, since the only person who can see it is the intended victim, her parents believe she’s self-harming, just like they had been warned about. Asha’s only chance to save herself is finding out more about the Grimcutty with the help of her younger brother, Kamran, and a rebellious classmate, Cassidy. However, it seems that not only has no one actually seen the meme, they also don’t know where it came from… The most shocking moment in the movie is in the beginning, when a kid, Brandon, sees Grimcutty, runs from him into his mother’s room, and

We were vaguely aware of Barbarian (2022) when it came out, but didn’t watch it at the time. After seeing it available on streaming, we decided to check it out. Since we’re writing a review, odds are it didn’t go very well… Warning: SPOILERS . Tess and Keith are surprised when they realize they booked the same house, but decide to share it. They begin to warm up to each other and Tess puts aside her usual concerns about stranger men. However, what could've been the beginning of a cutesy romcom soon takes a turn for the horrific when she discovers a secret door in the basement leading to a hidden room… After Tess accepts Keith’s offer to stay, things seem to be moving in a predictable direction: she explains how women are much more aware of their vulnerability than men; Keith insists there’s nowhere else she could go; he’s very understanding of her concerns and insanely solicitous; he also talks in his sleep while seemingly having a weird nightmare; someone opens Tess’s bedroom door

Netflix delivers some more bad horror with Killer Book Club (2022), and it's an original movie, so they actually  paid to have it made rather than just buying it on sale. Warning: this review contains  SPOILERS . Ángela, her boyfriend Nando, and her friends Sara, Virginia, Rai, Koldo, Sebas, and Eva are aspiring writers and horror fans who have a book club. When she's assaulted by one of their teachers they decide to punish him. However, after he accidentally dies, they end up trapped in their very own horror story thanks to a vengeful killer clown who's using their murders to write his very own book. But is this about the teacher’s death, or are they hiding other dark secrets? If you love 90s slasher movies, you'll find this very familiar. It pays homage to hits like Scream , I Know What You Did Last Summer , and Urban Legend in an incredibly obvious way that sometimes looks more like a shameless copy than mere inspiration. I actually cringed when Ángela copied the

We watched Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House and didn’t like it much. All the supposedly meaningful moments everyone gushed about never really seemed as amazing to us. However, we still decided to give Midnight Mass a try and… ended up regretting it. We tweeted about our experience while watching and now it’s time for a more detailed review. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS . The show begins with Riley Flynn in the aftermath of a fatal car accident he caused while driving drunk. After spending 4 years in prison, he returns home to Crockett Island. His mother, the devout Annie, is happy to have her son back, but his father, Ed, is a little distant. Also in the island is Erin Greene, Riley’s high school sweetheart, who’s pregnant and fleeing an abusive marriage. Crockett Island seems doomed, due to a steady population decline and fishing restrictions. However, hope arrives in the form of a new priest, Father Paul, who shows up unexpectedly to replace Monsignor Pruitt at
