Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (October 28)

As we all know, #ScaryMovieMonth is not a sprint -- it's a marathon. And we here at F This Movie! are at mile 24. Almost there guys! Can you feel that burn in your calves? Have your toenails fallen off yet? Are your nipples bleeding? GOOD ANALOGIES! If you answered "yes" to any of the above (gross) questions, please click "Read more" below. #ScaryMovieMonth won't last forever, so soak up the last remaining bits of horror before it's too late!

Review: Chillerama

Horror anthologies can be so much fun and seem, on the surface, to be so audience-friendly that it's incredible there aren't more good ones. Think about it: there was 2007's Trick 'r Treat, which never even received a theatrical release and didn't see the light of day until it was dumped direct-to-DVD in 2009, and before that the last good horror anthology was...Creepshow? That's 25 years. Fucking criminal.

Chillerama, the new horror anthology put together by four up-and-coming horror filmmakers (or three up-and-coming horror filmmakers and the guy who directed Detroit Rock City), isn't going to be reversing the trend. It's more Amazon Women on the Moon than it is Tales of Terror, but the guys responsible for Chillerama aren't as talented as John Landis and Joe Dante. At least, not yet.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: Black Swan

I remember well the first (and only) time I saw this overwrought stinker. I was sitting in the theater with Patrick Bromley and both of our lovely wives. I hated every minute of Black Swan. The lights came up after the screening, and I turned to them with a grin. I was looking forward to trading snarky wisecracks... but THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

F These Horror Movies We Shouldn't Like But Do

Seeing as our original list of "Movies We Shouldn't Like But Do" was so popular, and seeing as it's still Scary Movie Month at F This Movie!, it only makes sense to do a list of horror movies we shouldn't like but do. Consider it an unnecessary sequel. Or a cheap cash in. Just like in the horror movies!

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (October 21)

It's only Oct. 21, and we already have over 250 comments in the F This Movie! F Scary Movies! Challenge II. That's impressive! Good job, some of you! The rest of you? Step up your game! But #ScaryMovieMonth isn't over yet -- you still have over a week (and, really, the week before Halloween is where the rubber meets the road [huh?]) to submit your seven-word reviews to our website. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Or off! You weirdos!

Review: The Woman

To see Lucky McKee's new movie, The Woman, is to be reminded of what slick, hollow trash most studio horror is these days. As horror fans, we are all too aware of our own mistreatment, constantly whining about the state of the genre and how it's become clogged with pointless remakes and "torture porn." Then we make Marcus Nispel's shitty remake of Friday the 13th the number one movie at the box office the weekend of its release and jump online to write about how this year's Fright Night remake is "pretty good" (it is not pretty good). And, yet, even when things do get better -- even for just a week in limited release -- we don't do enough about it.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: Stephen King Movies

When properly adapted, Stephen King’s books make GREAT movies, but I could not resist the temptation to shit on some of the AWFUL ones. I only hope that in doing this, I haven’t accidentally unleashed a murderous alien Poo Monster.

F This Movie! - F The Music Box Massacre! (2011)

Patrick and JB. One theater. 13 horror movies. 24 hours. It's time again for the Music Box Massacre.



Correction: We claim on the podcast that Bob Clark is not the director of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. He is. That makes the movie even more baffling. We're sorry.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (October 7)

In honour of SCARY MOVIE MONTH, I'll be featuring trailers from classic(?) horror movies* throughout October. Sorry fans of new films coming out roughly between December 2011 and March 2012! Furthermore, today is ma burfday, so consider this a GIFT (that's how birthdays work, right? The birthday boy gives strangers/movie nerds who read websites at 2 a.m. in their underwear theoretical, half-formed "gifts"?). You're welcome. Also, DOUGTOBERFEST!

*Note: because many of these trailers were uploaded years ago, the image quality is pretty poor, and the volume is all over the place. Apologies in advance!

F These Horror Comedies

The horror comedy has proven to be a difficult genre to pull off successfully, because most attempts are neither funny nor scary. They're just monster movies with bad jokes. But it's Scary Movie Month, so let's take a look!

F Directors! #11: Wes Craven

 

Scary Movie Month continues at F This Movie! with today's F Directors! installment, in which we examine the career of Wes Craven. For a filmmaker widely regarded as one of the masters of the horror genre, Craven sure has made a lot of terrible movies.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: Friday the 13th

I love horror movies more than any other person I know. The proof is in my basement. You might say that I love every horror film ever made. Except this one.
