The Theta Girl (2017) [Sci Fi, Action, Horror]

Director: Christopher Bickel
Writer: David Axe

Last Friday evening, a friend sent this text, “Going to see this tonight at a Burlesque Club called Le Chat Noir. Right up your alley.” with the link to the trailer  I knew she was right before it was halfway through and I needed to watch this movie! Luckily, it is streaming on Amazon Prime and The Statesboro Psychotronic Film Society gave it a watch the next day.

Head Count (2018) [teenagers are horrible]

Director: Elle Callahan

Writers: Elle Callahan (story), Michael Nader

Better than average teen, supernatural slasher that sacrifices jump-scares and violent kills for a slowly building sense of unease that catapults into an alright finale. The story is interesting and even though there is no heavy lifting to be done, the young performers are up to the task.

The Mist (2007) [Biblical Horror]

Directed by Frank Darabont
Writing Credits (WGA)  Frank Darabont (screenplay), Stephen King (novel)

Frank Darabont’s 2007 adaptation of Stephen King’s novella The Mist is a great example of the rare movie that asks, “What if the God of the Old Testament were to re-emerge today?” Shortly after it begins, a terrible calamity befalls a small New England town and a group of local citizens and “summer people” find themselves struggling for survival inside the supermarket that is trapped inside an other worldly mist.
