Final Women

Tubi has tons of free movies and TV shows to choose from if you're still bored during quarantine. I've listed a few of my favorites here, but there are a ton of good ones available, so check it out. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Tobe Hooper's TCM is a classic. I'm guessing most horror fans worth their salt have seen it, or at least don't have to be sold on it by me. If you've missed out so far or are jonesing for another viewing, now's the perfect time, since it's currently free. Bait Kimble Rendall's sharks-in-a-supermarket film is played  straight and is surprisingly effective. A massive storm traps a group of people in a flooded supermarket, and there are sharks in the water, picking off those unlucky enough to fall below the surface. Our cast tries to figure out an escape plan while staying out of the water's reach. Bait is an intense thriller with impressive special effects and a solid cast that includes Julian McMahon ( Charmed , Mo...

Netflix Supernatural Along with Buffy, my all time favorite. If you haven't watched this yet, what are you doing with your life? Now in its fifteenth and (sadly) final season. Wynona Earp A new favorite. Wynona is a badass chosen one and worthy successor to Buffy as she fights assorted supernatural baddies with her ancestor Wyatt's fabled gun. The Haunting of Hill House The legitimately frightening latest (loose) adaptation of Shirley Jackson's classic novel. Twin Peaks Skip the most recent episodes, but don't miss the classic original seasons. Amazon Prime Dark Shadows This supernatural soap ran for a long time, so if you're looking to fill up a lot of empty hours, this is a good bet. Hannibal Canceled too soon, this TV show boast Mads Mikkelsen as one of Mr. Lecter's best incarnations. Shudder Channel Zero If American Horror Story has gotten too convoluted for you, check th...

Stuck at home due to the corona virus? Bored? Well never fear! Here are some great free horror movies streaming on a site near you. Check them out and check back here for my list of free horror TV shows that are also available to help rid you of your quarantine blues. Netflix The Babysitter Up and coming scream queen, Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) is my dream girl, Bee, in this hilarious horror comedy. Candyman Check out the original before the reboot comes out. This Clive Barker adaptation is one of the few movies that have ever really scared me. Tony Todd is terrifying in the titular role. The Evil Dead Classic Sam Raimi horror comedy. A must for every horror fan. Bruce Campbell rocks. Life After Beth Stellar zombie comedy with a fantastic cast, including Aubrey Plaza as the titular undead Beth, plus Matthew Gray Gubler, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, and Anna Kendrick to name a few. Little Evil Reviewed here . Terrifie...

Dead Snow Dead Snow is a fun, silly film concerning a group of college students holidaying in a remote cabin. They unearth a box of treasures, which they soon discover is linked to a local legend involving undead Nazis. The surprisingly tough youth proceed to take on hoards of angry Nazi zombies, and it's this unexpected badassery of our main characters that gives this movie its best scenes. I haven't watched the sequel yet, but I've heard it's bigger and better in every way. As this first film's set the bar pretty high, I could only imagine what joys #2 will bring. Unnatural A genetically modified polar bear escapes its Alaskan lab and heads for a small, isolated tourist lodge in southern Alaska. It proceeds to massacre year round residents and obnoxious guests alike. The acting in this one is better than expected, particularly from veterans James Remar and Twin Peak's Sherilyn Fenn. Ray Wise also has a small role, although it's little more ...

I've been covering winter horror films recently, so I thought I'd take this time on Christmas Eve's Eve to cover some Christmas horror movies that fit into that category. Gremlins Gremlins has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. It's the perfect horror movie for the whole family to enjoy and features a great snowy atmosphere that amazes with its beauty even as the Gremlins wreak havoc. The movie also features Gizmo, who is just about the cutest thing ever. Black Christmas The perfect holiday slasher. I watch it every year. Billy is easily one of the creepiest killers ever put to film. Black Christmas (2006 remake) I was really disappointed when I first saw this remake, but over time, it's grown on me. It still doesn't hold a Christmas candle to the original, but it's fun in its own way and features great snowy atmosphere. Silent Night, Deadly Night This controversial slasher is really a lot of fun once it gets going. Whi...

Shredder Terrible box art A lot of people really don't like this movie, and I honestly understand why. It's clearly just a late-to-the-game post-Scream slasher cash grab with bad acting, paper thin and (generally) unlikable characters, and a painfully not scary killer (whose motive appears to be that they prefer skiing to snowboarding...). Still, I enjoyed it. There was an interesting portrayal of female friendship, one that deserves a more in depth review than I plan on giving today, and a few good kills, plus that snowy setting I always love. Sure it's inept and soulless, but it's a goofy and fun watch if you keep your expectations in check. Dreamcatcher Dreamcatcher is a weird film. Based on the novel Stephen King wrote while recuperating from an accident that almost took his life, it's expectedly uneven. Still, there are a few high points, including the acting. The central cast of four (played marvelously by Thomas Jane, Timothy Olyphant, Jason Lee, ...

Now that it's finally getting colder outside (I love Autumn and Winter and absolutely loathe Summer - I'm aware that's kinda weird), it's the perfect time to check out some snowy, wintery horror movies. Need some ideas? I've got a few: (Note: I am excluding specifically Christmas themed horror movies as I'll probably do a post specifically on them some time next month.) Cold Prey Cold Prey (Fritt Vilt) is a Norwegian slasher film from 2006. Set at an abandoned ski resort, it features a creepy killer, brutal kills, and a pretty awesome final girl in Jannicke (Ingrid Bolso Berdal). It's also genuinely intense and suspenseful. Cold Prey was followed by both a sequel and a prequel, both of which I've heard good things about, although I have yet to watch them Ravenous I raved about this period piece horror film here . It's not nearly as well known as it should be, so check it out and spread the word. The Thing from Another World, The Thin...
