This one flew under so many people's radars and I loved it. I'm a mockumentary junky anyway, but this takes a turn about 3/4 of the way through that had the cosmic horror fan in me about to jump out of his seat.

CJ's Movie Rec for Monday, 20 Oct:

So far we've seen killer dogs, nightmarish ghouls, and even yellow clad detectives. Today, is about the animalistic anthropomorphs, but not the for kids kind! This one is for the adults in the house!

One-Eyed Monster (2008)

In February 2007, ten people went to the remote mountains of Northern California to shoot an adult movie. What happened next was something no one expected, but everyone saw coming.

Seeing the Dark Angel title still confuses me sometimes. It was "We Come In Peace" in my region/timeframe.

Congrats to @fangoria.bsky.social for putting on a great show this year, to the subscribers for voting passionately and at least 85% correctly based on my notes, and to all of the winners!! Horror is in a great place right now, and it feels like its not even close to done yet.

CJ's Movie Rec for Sunday, 19 Oct:

A family-friendly horror film featuring some props that niche horror fans might remember from an alien clown movie not by Stephen King and featuring an icon of 80's TV and Film.

Good might be, and I know it's a stretch, but stay with me, it might be where the vast majority of films actually sit!!

It really does feel like using the word "Good" to describe a movie is becoming passe.

I know this is cynical of me, but I expect we'll shortly be seeing the LGBT pardoned republican campaigning against Mamdani in a futile attempt to turn the community against him....

Wait...why haven't we gotten a video game adaptation of The Descent? A little Tomb Raider mixed with a little Dead Space?

CJ's Movie Rec for Friday, 17 Oct:

The 8th entry in Universal's Classic Monster films, a film that sees Claude Raines in what is, in my opinion, his best role and a film that kicked off a horror subgenre that still lives today.

I have a weird relationship with music. Parents are from the '40s, Aunt from the '50s, siblings from the '60s-'70s, I was born in the '80s. Could've thrown Count Basie or Jimmy Dorsey in there and it would've been weirder and yet still accurate lol.

Man, this is gonna get some weird looks, I think.

Are his parents away a lot and does he struggle to make real friends?

CJ's Movie Rec for Thurs, 16 Oct:

From family fun to frenetic furriness, today's recommendation is a Canadian film that takes the relationships of a buddy film, the gore of a horror film, and the comedy of Super Troopers and smashes them into each other.

"Room 24" by Caroline Kepnes, the first short in The End of the World As We Know It, is a disturbing, fucked up, dark, grotesque trip into the world of The Stand and a massive shock to the system being our introduction to this new collection of tales.
