Hope This Was Worth the Wait

Long-delayed new reviews at 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting:

 

Effects (1979), in which most of the people making a cheap horror movie that’s really a snuff film think they’re in on the con, but nobody’s in on the whole con…

Halloween II (2009), in which Rob Zombie brings the saga of Michael Myers to an ending that not even an Akkad can walk back…

Nope (2022), in which the unidentified flying object is more importantly a misidentified flying object…

The Northman (2022), in which Hamlet doesn’t give a crap what’s nobler in the mind…

She-Wolf of London (1946), in which the second cycle of Universal Horror makes one last orbit around the drain before plunging in…

Terror Train (1980), or Murder on the Disorient Express

and…

X (2022), in which you don’t have to bring a chainsaw for a Texas Massacre.

 

 

 

El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
