There is no doubting Scream’s place in horror history. Still, it is somewhat surprising what the latest installment has done. Part of the success of the sequels is due to Jenna Ortega. There was a time when she was white hot and seemed poised to take over Hollywood. Has that window already closed?

Horror heads of a certain age will remember Faces of Death. These memories go beyond just seeing the mondo “documentary”. They extend to the first time they heard about it, the stories surrounding, and how they felt watching it. Each new month brings us another remake, but it was safe to say we weren’t going to see Faces of Death redone.

This week’s feature presentation is the surprising remake of the cult classic. Obviously, there was no way they could do a one to one reboot. The original was even a real movie. What they end up doing will surprise everyone familiar with the source material.

The modern version of Faces of Death is a slasher. And it is a very well done one. The casting is spot on and the story does not overstay its welcome. It brings laughs and gore and is a strong addition to the franchise.

There are always upcoming sequels to talk about. Tubi has been kicking ass and taking names. But for all the awesome older content on the channel, people tend to forget that it does have original programming. Last year’s R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead was successful enough to have warranted a sequel. Did Tubi stumble on a Halloween franchise?

Jennifer’s Body is one of the most interesting movies of the 21st century. Released during the height of Megan Fox’s popularity, the marketing centered around her and a possible lebsian plotline. Naturally, this did not attract a female audience who discovered the movie after the fact. Now regarded as a feminist cult classic, a sequel seems to be on the way.
It has been a while since we have talked about cryptids. The fact of the matter is, they just are not as popular as they used to be. So, we were excited to watch a movie called The Yeti. The fantastic opening got us even more excited. Unfortunately, the film was not able to follow through.

The Yeti is filled with flamboyant personalities, some good gore, and decent creature effects. But in between all of this, there is a lot of talking. It is not bad, but it is as if the movie is trying to be way more serious than it needs to be. Is that enough reason to pass on it, though?

The 1980s were the best decade for larger than life action heroes. There were so many characters and moments to come out of the decade. We talk about the sudden passing of one of the greatest. Chuck Norris became a meme after the birth of the internet, but he never stopped being a bad ass. Plus, it seems like they are finally going through with a Conan sequel with possibly the biggest action star of them all. We throw around what direction it may decide to go.

Another trademark of the 1980s was pumping out content. The straight to video market was booming leading to some awesome childhood memories. This also led to a number of names becoming familiar through the sheer volume of their work.

You just don’t see that anymore which is one of the things that made The Serpent’s Skin so interesting to us. At only 21 years old, this is director Alice Maio Mackay’s sixth film. An impressive feat that is a throwback to old school DIY exploitation guerilla filmmaking.

Unfortunately, this also leads to some glaring flaws. Cringey dialogue and poor pacing take away from its grounded storytelling and Buffy-esque plot. The Serpent’s Skin is filled with promise, and there is a lot to like. It just feels like it needs more seasoning.
