Stand by Me (1986) Tracy Allen Stand By Me is the poster child for the term “coming-of-age.”

I Hear the Trees Whispering (2022) Tracy Allen The twist… I did not see coming. Not even in the slightest. I thought I was so smart, guessing who these people were and where the story was going, but then this twist hits about 15 minutes from the end of the film, and it totally blew my mind.

Project Skyquake (2022) Tracy Allen I will admit that the filmmakers' explanation for the sounds is one I've never considered before. And, in the time we're living, this reasoning is the one that makes the most sense to me.

The Final Frame (2025) Tracy Allen The initially creepy atmosphere culminates into an intense slow burn that makes the viewer want to crawl out of their own skin to escape the tension.

Craving (2023) Tracy Allen J. Horton’s Craving is a taut thrill ride that never lets up.

Everybody Dies by the End (2022) Tracy Allen Everybody Dies By the End is like a peek behind the movie making curtain. Of course, everything here is over the top and even deadly.

Solvent (2024) Tracy Allen The multiple layers and subtext in Solvent alone make it worth a watch, and adding the bizarre visuals, creepy locations and contagious psychosis are the icing on the cake.

Rattlers 2 (2021) Tracy Allen Overall, search Rattlers 2 is a great homage to the original 1976 film.

Beyond the Gates of Hell (2022) Tracy Allen The editing is tight and the story is streamlined. There’s really no padding here, and the film is much better for it.

Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021) Tracy Allen Wyrmwood: Apocalypse has the same non-stop action, pitch black humor, neon-bright, high-intensity violence, and awful, offal gore as its predecessor.

9/10
Dog Soldiers (2002) Tracy Allen ... even our most sturdy and strategically minded soldiers are no match against these omnipotent beasts. Theyre smart as hell and work together much the same as the soldiers themselves are trained to do.

Bitch Ass (2022) Tracy Allen The world has a brand new slasher villain, and his name is Bitch Ass.

2/10
Devil Story (1985) Tracy Allen Slow burns can be a bit tedious. However, Devil Story is not a slow burn. It's plodding, slow, and repetitive... and there's no storyline here.
Posted Jan 29, 2022  Edit critic review
The Cellar (1989) Tracy Allen The Cellar is a fun creature feature with an interesting story, a cool-looking monster (I love the way it drags itself around), and great chemistry between the cast members.
Posted May 08, 2021  Edit critic review
Rush Week (1989) Tracy Allen Rush Week is rather generic slasher slasher fair.
Posted May 08, 2021  Edit critic review
My Dead Ones (2018) Tracy Allen My Dead Ones is a surreal, out-of-body trip through one man's psychosis and his yearning for acceptance and love.

The Beast Beneath (2020) Tracy Allen If you're looking for an hour's worth of cheesy fun and familiar indie faces, check out Dustin Ferguson's The Beast Beneath.
Posted May 08, 2021  Edit critic review
The Parish (2019) Tracy Allen The Parish is a great story about a woman and her daughter struggling after suffering a huge loss, only to be hit with an even bigger horror once they move.
Posted May 08, 2021  Edit critic review
Painkiller (2021) Tracy Allen It's more than a vigilante Death Wish wannabe film. It's an important story that needs to be told, and people need to listen.

8/10
Jakob's Wife (2021) Tracy Allen Watching Barbara Crampton's Anne go from mousy, sensible shoes-wearing preacher's wife to salacious blonde bombshell is one of the highlights of the film.

Son (2021) Tracy Allen Son is a tense thrill ride that explodes with a mother's love for her son.

12 Hour Shift (2020) Tracy Allen Brea Grant's 12 Hour Shift is an original, creative jaunt down the dark, bloody road of organ harvesting, drug addiction, and self-serving decisions.

13 Slays Till X-Mas (2020) Tracy Allen The humor, gore, offbeat kills, and corny one-liners make [PJ Starks'] projects so freaking fun to watch.

Bloodthirsty (2020) Tracy Allen Below the fact that a woman slowly begins to realize that her original form is something supernatural hides a human hiding from her own nature.

Luz: The Flower of Evil (2019) Tracy Allen Luz: The Flower Of Evil is an orgasm of the senses.

10/10
Greatland (2020) Tracy Allen A world where everyone must be accepting of all others to the point where it becomes a crime to judge another person... is just as implausible as one where the rich take full advantage of the poor... without expecting... mutinous repercussions.

The Good Things Devils Do (2020) Tracy Allen All told, The Good Things Devils Do is a chaotic, ichor-drenched romp full of screeching demons, dripping entrails, and squelching blood and guts.

Friday the 13th (1980) Tracy Allen The likable, non-stereotypical teens in Friday the 13th didn't do anything wrong per se, yet they get punished. It makes you wonder if there's any ex-[your job here] running around out there, just looking for the right time to strike.

Deadline (1980) Tracy Allen I was hoping to see an In The Mouth Of Madness-type of spiral into blood-drenched insanity. What I got was a stressed out guy with a messed up life who couldn't stop imagining ghastly, grisly scenes.

Unmasked: Part 25 (1989) Tracy Allen I honestly can't believe this film isn't more well known. It has the humor, gore and kill count to make it one of the best meta horror films out there.

Itsy Bitsy (2019) Tracy Allen Itsy Bitsy is a perfect combination of Hollywood-quality filmmaking and indie creativeness.

Pledge Night (1989) Tracy Allen The twist was like a shovel to the face that you see coming for a full 10 minutes, yet you stand there and let it gong your noggin full tilt boogie because you just can't stop watching.

It: Chapter Two (2019) Tracy Allen IT: Chapter Two traded frights for humor, which is a big disappointment for fans of the 2017 film who are expecting an elevated experience with more nightmares.

Decoder (1984) Tracy Allen Decoder is more an arthouse punk film than much of anything else, but it sure is pretty.

9/10
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) Tracy Allen Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is... the perfect step up for kids who have outgrown Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, with all of the scares but none of the blood and gore found in more adult horror films.

9.5/10
Freaks (2018) Tracy Allen It's only after you watch Freaks that you notice the cumulative effect the pieces of the story have on the film, and it's then that you realize you may have just watched a masterpiece.

Dead Water (2019) Tracy Allen ... the filler in between the tension gave time for all of that apprehensiveness to drain away. What's left felt more like an anchor than a buoy.

Circus of the Dead (2014) Tracy Allen The ending... leaves you dazed and struggling for air, shocked and appalled by what you have just witnessed.

5.5/10
House of 1000 Corpses (2003) Tracy Allen Although styled after grindhouse films of the '70s and Universal horror classics, the film felt new and original, different enough to catch audience's attention but not so obscure that they struggled with what was going on.

6.5/10
Basket Case (1982) Tracy Allen Henenlotter took a slice of every one of his beloved subgenres and built a bloody, rubbery yet tasty horror sandwich that gave watchers a monster they would not only fear but feel sympathy for by the end of the movie.

8.5/10
Hatchet (2006) Tracy Allen Hatchet's gore is so over the top and silly that, even though a woman's head is literally torn from her body, you can't help but laugh when you see her tongue still bopping around.

Poltergeist (1982) Tracy Allen The sweet, angelic face of Heather O'Rourke swirled together with viscous, ectoplasmic demons and food abominations make for an uncomfortable yet unforgettable movie watching experience

House of Purgatory (2016) Tracy Allen I was also pleasantly surprised that the characters were not all annoying slasher fodder that I couldn't wait to see bite it.

4.5/5
We Are the Flesh (2016) Tracy Allen I'm still unsure if We Are the Flesh is a true post-apocalyptic tale or an alcohol-fueled dream. It could seriously go either way.

8.5/10
House of Manson (2014) Tracy Allen House of Manson is a love letter to Charlie & his Family, made to tell a story rather than cash in on an already popular subject... I thought this film perfectly conveyed the charisma and attractiveness of Charles Manson.
