Nothing But Reel Reviews & More

Our Score - 9.17/10 (A)     Rotten Tomatoes - 100%     IMDB - 6.4/10 Chosen By: Shane Cronican His House (2020) is a genuinely terrifying movie that blends true-life horrors with disturbing supernatural scares. Amazing acting, fantastic visuals, and an emotionally gripping story make this a must-see.

Our Score - 7.75/10 (B)     Rotten Tomatoes - 89%     IMDB - 6.2/10 Chosen By: Steve Rushlau The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020) is a quirky, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, horror hybrid that might not be for everyone. It is a bit uneven at times with its tone, but it's very well made and thoroughly enjoyable. 

Our Score - 6.42/10 (C)     Rotten Tomatoes - 93%     IMDB - 6.4/10 Chosen By: Aaron Cronican Possessor (2020) is a unique vision from director Brandon Cronenberg, and is worth a viewing because of that. That being said, this a a weird movie that definitely won't be for everyone. It is more of a science fiction movie, so those expecting a heavier leaning towards horror elements may be a bit disappointed like we were. 

Our Score - 7.13/10 (B-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 81%     IMDb - 6.1/10 Chosen By: Shane Cronican VFW feels like a love letter to John Carpenter and the violent, tough guy B-movies of the past. If that sounds like your type of movie, you will love this one!

Our Score - 7.84/10 (B)     Rotten Tomatoes - 86%     IMDB - 7.1/10 Chosen By: Michael Lucas Tremors combines horror, comedy, and action elements to become one of the best and most entertaining creature-features ever made.

Our Score - 8.42/10 (B+)     RT - 82%     IMDB - 7.2/10 Chosen By: Matt McNeal While its disturbing content might push some viewers away, 'Audition' remains one of acclaimed director Takashi Miike's best movies, and a must-watch for horror movie fans.

Our Score - 8.7/10     Rotten Tomatoes - 91%     IMDB - 7.9/10 Chosen By - Michael Lucas 'Shaun of the Dead' remains one of the finest examples of the horror-comedy genre. Brilliant writing, perfect directing, and great acting make this a hilarious spoof of, as well as a prime addition to, the over-saturated zombie subgenre. 

Our Score - 4.92/10 (D)     Rotten Tomatoes - 63%     IMDB - 6.1/10 Chosen By: Steve Rushlau Horror Month kicks off with our discussion and review of Frozen. No, not the Disney animated film, but the 2010 horror film from the director of the Hatchet franchise.

Our Score - 5.94/10 (C-)      Rotten Tomatoes - 64%     IMDB - 7.1/10 Chosen By: Aaron Cronican 'The Devil All the Time' has a lot to offer. The acting is fantastic, it is directed very well, and the production value is exceptional. Unfortunately, the story went nowhere and it failed to engage. 

Our Score - 7.07/10 (B-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 39%     IMDB - 6.6/10 Chosen By: Brent Fruge On the surface, 'To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar' (1995) might seem like a gimmick; cast three manly men (Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo) and have them act outrageous as a trio of drag queens on a road trip. This movie becomes so much more than that thanks to it's contagious positive message and three fantastic performances from the three leads.

Our Score - 7.67/10 (B)     Rotten Tomatoes - 94%     IMDB - 7.5/10 Listener Request From: Kimberly Gau Palm Springs provides a unique spin on the 'Groundhog Day' time-loop formula. Andy Siara provides one of the best screenplays of the year, and Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti provide fantastic performances, making Palm Springs a joyful, heartfelt, and surprisingly deep viewing experience.

Our Score - 5.69/10 (C-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 71%     IMDB - 5./10 Chosen By: Shane Cronican Director Jeremy Saulnier is incredibly talented and his skills are on full display in Hold the Dark, but despite the fantastic visuals, camerawork, cinematography, and acting, this movie somehow failed to engage us. Press play to hear our full thoughts!

Our Score - 7.92/10 (B)     Rotten Tomatoes - 92%     IMDB - 6.7/10 Chosen By: Steve Rushlau Despite the low budget (and possibly because of it), The Outpost forgoes blockbuster action to focus on a more intimate war story. Incredible directing and fantastic acting all around make this a surprisingly moving film that deserves to be seen.

Our Score - 7.82/10 (B)     Rotten Tomatoes - 90%     IMDB - 7.6/10 Chosen By: Aaron Cronican We consider Robert Eggers' directorial debut, The VVitch, a modern horror classic.

Our Score - 8.57/10 (A-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 98%     IMDB - 8.8/10 Chosen By: Brent Fruge If you have been listening to us for a while, you know we aren't the biggest fans of musicals. Hamilton, however, is not like other musicals. Will its fresh style and energy be enough to win us over. Press play to find out!

Our Score - 6.34/10 (C)     Rotten Tomatoes - 71%     IMDB - 6.5/10   Chosen By: Matt McNeal   The Crazies is one of the better horror movies of 2010, and one of the rare horror remake that manages to be pretty good, but how does it stack up to George Romero's original. Press play to find out!

Our Score - 6.67/10 (C+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 87%     IMDB - 7.2/10 Chosen By: Michael Lucas There's no denying that director Yorgos Lanthimos's style is an acquired taste. Even 'The Lobster', probably his best and most accessible movie, will only appeal to a specific audience. That being said, even those that don't enjoy his style would be hard-pressed to find issues with the filmmaking in this one. 

Our Score - 7.25/10 (B-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 35%     IMDB - 6.6/10 Chosen By: Shane Cronican Streamer or Steamer Month continues with a discussion of Hostage, an action/crime/drama from 2005 starring Bruce Willis. This is currently available on Netflix, and Shane believes it is absolutely worth streaming due to an incredible acting performance from Bruce Willis. Do you agree?

Our Score - 8.57/10 (A-)     Rotten Tomatoes - 91%     IMDB - 7.1/10 Chosen By: Steve Rushlau The Invisible Man is carried by a powerhouse performance from Elisabeth Moss, and is fueled by nearly flawless directing from Leigh Whannell (Upgrade), leading many of us to consider this one of the best movies of 2020 so far.
