THE BURNT KERNEL RATING SYSTEM The more Burnt Kernels a movie has the technically worse it is. (i.e. 1/5 is better made than 5/5) EXTRAS Butter - The movie has nudity. Free Refills - The movie is enjoyable. Avatar created by @JoeRocks1981.bsky.social

Popcorn & Pain watched the version with Michael Madsen last month. He’s the worst part of it sadly.

"Holy Night: Demon Hunters" (2025) - The big guy from "Train to Busan" (2016) (aka Ma Dong-seok) punches demons the way "Constantine" (2005) did but without the need for holy brass knuckles so if that sounds cool check this out.

"Ash" (2025) - This would have been a good episode of "Black Mirror" but instead is a convoluted mess of nonlinear storytelling, striking visuals, and more than a little from "Annihilation" (2018), "Pandorum" (2009), and "Dead Space" franchise.

Not having personally played the game I was informed by my fellow watchers of it's relation to it's inspiration. They said it basically kept the plot but drifted from it when needed, the consensus being that it did the idea well enough.

"Until Dawn" (2025) - Based on an interactive survival horror game of the same name this movies uses it's inspiration as more of a jumping off point as the movie incorporates the game mechanics of replaying the game into the narrative as well.

"Haunted Ulster Live" (2023) - This is an Irish re-imagining of the recently cult classic; "WNUF Halloween Special" (2013). Not quite as successful at the premise as it's inspiration the film is still well worth checking out.

"Savagelands" (2015) - When a small town near the Arizona-Mexico border is wiped out overnight, suspicion falls on the lone survivor (and immigrant) who was convicted of the crime despite the evidence showing supernatural sources.

This movie is not bad at all.

"Snuffet" (2014) - This is a found footage snuff film where the victims are all felt puppets as it's set in a world where puppets live alongside people. Not everyone enjoys this and so a psycho and his girl make horrible snuff films.

"Abruptio" (2024) - There is nothing I can add to this movie that the trailer doesn't tell you by itself. Just know this and be warned, some of the puppet faces in this will haunt your nightmare.

"Zombie Self Defense Force" (2006) - One part Japanese zombie action horror "Versus" (2001), one part surreal horror-comedy musical "The Happiness of the Katakuris" (2001), and with a little "Dead Alive" (1992) thrown in on top.

"Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt" (2011) - Charles Band rips off himself with this sequel to his own "The Killer Eye" (1999) made for less money but with more sleaze where the monster is literally a prop you can buy from the first movie.

"Babezilla vs the Cyber Skanks: Rise of MechaBabezilla" (2024) - An absurdly bad porno with all the actual fucking removed but the tits and cunt cannons left in with Gorachand Saha and Jessa Flux having fun.

"The Holy Virgin Vs The Evil Dead" (1991) - A baby faced Donnie Yen, and friends, kicks the shit out of a moon worshipping cult and the moon spirit looking to rape his way into this realm. Amazing!

"Handsome Guys" (2024) - Put simply this is a Korean version of "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" (2010) with some of "The Evil Dead" (1981) thrown in as well in what is equal parts homage and it's own hilariously insane thing.

"When Evil Lurks" (2023) - An excellent Argentinian folk horror about the infectious nature of evil, government indifference, traditions, and how violence only breeds more violence. I highly suggest this bleak as hell movie.

"The Cleansing Hour" (2019) - A fake priest hosts a live streams fake exorcism show until a real demon shows up and shit goes sideways real quick. Think "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) and you are in the right neighborhood. Worth a watch.
