What a weird concept. What a weird movie. Imagine being captivated with a series of books to the point that you have a hard time differentiating fiction from reality. That’s where we find ourselves in I, Man. 

This has an interesting antagonist who kills and collects pieces from his “victims” to make himself a human chameleon. Virginia/Anna our protagonist continues to read these books to find out clues to who or what could be next soon realizing he is after her heart…. Literally. 

I, Man features some practical effects & makeup, sick cop/investigative focus, Frankensteining, tearing the fuck out of a library, scalping, stop motion madness, hunt for a serial killer, and crime scenes sure to peel your lips off and make them smile!

Tragic. Traumatic. I squirmed with anguish. 

Team Racka know what to do with this genre.

Bring Her Back 9:10 showing
Theatre 3 - row k - seat 6

LFHG

“A story about friends” was how co lead Joshua Burge described this movie to me & honestly… he’s not wrong. 

Vulcanizadora captures one of the most shocking & unbearably real sequences of trauma that I ever seen captured for film.  

I can’t scream it loud enough from a mountain top that VULCANIZADORA IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF THIS YEAR!!!

LFHG

Man oh man was that movie great. Solid characters, imaginative character finales, tension & glorious …. GLORIOUS GORE!!! Ya love to see something like this!

Written by the original Erik
-LFHG

An unsettling of a night I wish to never have to be a part of. 

Check this out ASAP

LFHG

Not my favorite of the bunch but man these movies are wickedly insane. Anything Mad Max is a for sure watch! 

LFHG

🤦🏻‍♂️

Jesus, once this ended I felt my chest lighten up. What a stressful watch but great performances & captivating chase story. 

LFHG

This movie is incredible. A coming of age zombie film that leans into informing you what’s to coming in the final act but little do you know the final act is more than what we’re asking for. 

Parvulos: Children of the Apocalypse is heartbreaking, overwhelming, adventurous, and pretty damn gorey & TOTALLY worth your time. 

Go check it out asap!

*trigger warning: there is a sequence with a dog. I won’t say what, but in this movies defense there is actually context to why this happens* 

I loved Parvulos

4.4 out of 5

I do & don’t see the Tarantino comparisons here. It’s honestly overall writing, acted and directed. This was a first time watch and I gotta say the casting department really did their job here. 

I dug this & if you’d like to check it out yourself be sure to head to kinolorber.com as their blu/4K edition of this movie is packed with special features. 

3.7 out of 5

This feels like the epitome of a films version of sayin “Just…… Cause”

Pry more like a 2.2 out of 5

Edit:
The more I think about it I have to give this at least a half star more for some of the comedic writing here. Will Poultier honestly stole the show for me playing this upity, pompous, manipulative and overall hilarious character. There was quite a few times that I laughed out loud to things he said or did. (Some of the other cast as well) 

After leaving the movie it sounded like maybe the CGI was intended to be bad & that was the idea? At the end of the day, that was a terrible idea. Such an idea should have been icksnayed by the line supervisor IF that were the case?

LFHG

I am rolling my eyes at so many right over this being a 2 out of 5 lol. 

Perfect movie, no? However the original was very near and dear to my heart so taking my lil one to go see this and us having a great time giggling, getting mildly choked up & being overall entertained was well worth my time & money. 

All this other drama and himming n hawing is for the birds. The movies fine, quit crying.

LFHG

This movie is great. Great acting. A haunting Oboe for a score throughout so simplistic you can’t help but feel uneasy. Not only the score but there are a couple sequences in this movie that are truly “humanly” haunting.  A real Who Dun It atmosphere. & Christopher Lloyd. 

I feel like a lot of people say this now days but go in blind. It’s on prime.

This review may contain spoilers.

I’m not sure I’m good for Oscar. 
I’m not sure Oscar is good for me. 

Let my say this. I am a huge horror comedy boy. I’m a huge fan of over the top and wacky. 

I should love it. It’s so over the top which I typically love but it’s just so inconsistent in tone that it kinda drove me nuts with serious wacky serious wacky. 

First couple of kills I was like ok whoa then give it 10 seconds serious movie then over the top kill. 

Then 10 seconds wacky and silly. 

It was just hard to keep up with. 

(I fell asleep for pry 10 mins of it so I’ll watch it again in theatre and see fully what I think) 

2.4 out of 5?

Well I’ll be gol danged, someone other than Spielberg actually made a really sick deep sea horror adventure? 

4.3 out of 5 oops I shot the wrong one

Honestly, hilarious!

3.2 out of 5 Steeds

10 Things I Hate About You…..

& none of them were this movie. 

Go see Heart Eyes with your boo or your buddy this Valentine’s Day. It may not matter who your with?

3.7 out of 5 Jason Lives Weapon Belts

I mean, all the way around this movie rocked. Go in blind, and squish your behind (in your seat) & enjoy this fun ride.

4.3 oranges out of 5 
-LFHG

At just short of 25 minutes this story packs a punch (unfortunately pun intended & not intended - you'll get it after you watch)

2024’s "Bomba" is set in the 1900s portraying a family setting out to escape a gang that our protagonist has since separated himself from. When he receives a letter from said gang threatening his family he sets sights to escape to America.

When the gang pays a visit unexpectedly the tables turn & their journey becomes an escape from death.

I’d describe “Bomba” as a Period piece meets home invasion meets suspense/thriller 

3.8/5 Cut off ears 

-LFHG

Damn. A couple of oh my god moments & an absolute head to toe chill moment. Damn.

4.6 out of 5 0.05cm plastic wraps

This was great. Not dull, great layout for presenting a story untold & more than one occasion I laughed out loud. 

3.4 out of 5 times Scar was a pussy

What an insane, stylish & heartfilled feat that takes an insane concept then makes it that much more insane because it’s shot entirely with FUCKING PUPPETS!!!

Damn!

LFHG

Well….. it’s better than Longlegs at least Doug Galiardo!

Wish they would have called this Wolf Dad instead. 

3.1 times they should ha….. never mind, just go see it. 

LFHG

Fucking masterclass in story writing & revenge story done right. I can’t say enough great things about Sayara!

4.6 dirty bosses out of 5

Uncomfortable performances. Great original take on the tolls of war & how anti social could become from it let alone something demonic happening while your off at war.

This movie rocked. Thanks afterhrs video!

Parents should pry listen to their kids hahaha. 

This is a pretty straight & to the point homage to 70s horror / pre slasher genre. As I’ve recently watched Fright & Blood and Lace “The Man in the White Van” made me feel like fit right in. 

70s aesthetic was fine.

I wasn’t huge on the unnecessary jump scare sounds. 

The boy saying “Are we getting another phone line” was more than enough proof that this movie has the skeleton and gull to not have to rely on cheap scares. 

Overall pretty solid movie here. 

3.1 hammers out of 5

A true precursor to Halloween & early loved slashers. Man this movie was great and with an ending that had me angry and in love all in one take. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing/seeing.

This was a fun action thriller with a wild performance from Cage. If your a lover of Depalma or Cage give this a spin & get your 4K at kinolorber.com

LFHG

I wrote a whole long whimsical review for this and it got deleted. Just go see this damn movie in a theatre whenever you can. IN A THEATRE! 

Jarin’s cinematography 
Robin’s Score
& by God the performances. I’d love to name one performance here but everyone involved on screen were truly remarkable. Ok ok I will say, Bill Skarsgard in this…whoa. 

I’m saying 4.4 out of 5 sarcophagus’s

Hmm………………

…..

…………

…..

….?

LFHG

“Did you feel seen?”

“I felt looked at”

Man, this is a wild true story about some shit I can’t believe hasn’t been made into a movie yet! Anna Kendrick premiers her directing chops & honestly holds her own not to mention also leading this story as well. 

This movie is fucking wild & true & wild & but true……..

Update****

I saw this again (with a free movie ticket) and it’s actually not as bad as when originally viewed. 

Insane to see this type of gore on the big screen and I picked up on a lot more of the subtle tones of humor that I didn’t the first time around.  

I’d suggest to indie horror and see it in theatre.

LFHG

So far it feels like Deer Camp 2020 haha. 

This definitely isn’t bad and I love that this wasn’t filmed far from me in Michigan. 

I’ll update you soon on full thoughts 

LFHG

I’ve never been a gatekeeper for horror but something about when Smile came out just made me feel like I was going to hate it and didn’t even want to give it a chance.

NOW, while a similar premise to It Follows “Smile” actually wayyyyyy surprised me at how good it was but when they announced a second entry I was still at the mindset of “well they’re sure to fuck this one up” but I’ll be goddamned….. they were wrong!

Smile 2 rules! Maybe better than the original? 

Smile 2 is great. Go see it in theatre. More tense. A couple WILD scares. Smile 2 is great. Smile 2 is great. As much as I can’t believe I’m saying this, SMILE 2 IS GREAT!

LFHG

Here we have 3 separate stories from Japan, China & Korea. 

All of these are certainly extreme and while all 3 will stick with you there’s something about the final entry that stuck with me the first time I saw this ages ago, and again now. 

Watch it now on prime video 

LFHG

This one is pretty decent for a Guinea Pig entry but all in all not overly exciting.  

I’d still recommend checking this out. Currently on YouTube for free. 

LFHG

I never want to knock successful original horror so please don’t @ me but….

Here’s where I’m at. That Director dude should stick to effects and leave writing and directing to someone else. I’ve now seen 2 & 3 in theatre and have fallen asleep both times. 

Amazing effects. Art the Clown is absolutely fucking awesome and one of the most menacing and yet also delightfully fun characters in horror to come in … ages? In Terrifier 3 he IS that much nastier and then cute and then fucking haunting. I love him & he deserves more. 

But the franchise (3 included) just are not good. I like Elliot but hate damn near every other character besides Art & maybe that’s on purpose to make them an expendable desire, idk? 

Did you enjoy Terrifier 3?

1.2 out of 5 ?

2.8 out of 5

Currently watching & taking notes in real time 09:03 10-1-24

What starts as a story of VENGENCE for Chan Hung’s brother who was wrongfully paralyzed quickly turns into a twisted tale of black magic and great gross effects that include blood, ooze & goos!

Pry 10/15 mins of boxing footage and turns into straight black magic horror haha. 

I’m really loving this very goofy bone bat haha. The sound design and scoring here is enough to drive one mad. This is complimentary. 

*Dude, Chan puking up an Eel is utterly fucking disgusting Jeesh. 

Becoming a monk to full seek vengeance, dude has a lot of dedication, I know ppl who can’t even give up chocolate for a month for lent hahaha. 

40min in has a pretty wicked ceremony scene including a really wild transposing of carved pottery text into skin! Pretty cool effects here. 

Hopefully that wasn’t a real chicken….

Gator skull scene absolutely rips. Cool visuals with brilliant color use. Chan is hit with a rock which sends him into fucking outer space. That rocks. Then this purple sorcerer eats a pile of disgust that makes me wanna puke. The sounds. Uhhhh. 

50mins in. What is going on? I’m a little lost gahahaha

Oh ok I get it now. Sometimes I have to stop asking questions anc let shit play out. Chan had to break the black magic & had to eliminate the demon which allowed him to return to Hong Kong and move on to his revenge of his brother

Now w we’re killing a gator and dumping the innerds and drop an egg. The baby gator prop is really funny hahahahahha

64 mins in the chewing of food and ing on to the next is utterly disgusting. 

The big fight was cool but Chan was getting his ass whooped. The power of cinema haha 

“Did you have sex?” The face on him when he realized he can’t lie to Buddha hahah. And then did! To funny. 

Chan had to travel to Nepal to find a relic to save he and his past life Twin. Who is currently a statue which his mouth still moves haha.  This is wild & I love it. 

Chan cuts into his forearm to pour in this mushroom tear drop and the cut is anguishing ewwww. This year is meant to bring him great strength in time of battle with the final demon. 

The final demon is of course a beautiful women, who can magically summon a full ass crocodile from a sheet. Super cool creature effects here. Love this! Silly sounding but it’s still cool. 

Her skeleton hands kinda gave Chan a titty twister hahah. I laughed out loud. 

Omg the demon boss shook out furry slugs all over my guy. Sick! 

Su**ide ritual: Guy one stabs himself in the stomach. Guy 2 and 3 slice their wr**ts and pour their blood in guy 1s open stomach wound. 

Oh fuck not his ear…… FEAR UNLOCKED!!!! Uhhhhhh 

Just in time Chan finds the relic to save him from this final demon. That was about to be bad. Now furry dinosaur type robots come out of his stomach. 

Needles are coming out of Chans eyes and  it seems he competed the final ritual. 

All this to avenge his brother from a fighter that he beat an hour ago? Hahaha. 

All in all not bad. Cool effects. Kinda felt like 2 different movies slapped together but all in all pretty solid. 

3.3 out of 5

Stay tuned currently watching…..

David Cronenberg, Peter Jackson (in his 20s), Stuart Gordon & Steven Kostanski all sat down one afternoon to figure out how to procreate. When they finally succeeded, their love child was born and became an amazing new creator named Coralie Fargeat. 

“The Substance” is nothing short of perfection. Sound design, cinematography, pace in story telling, absolutely stunning practical effects, tragedy, I mean I could go on and on. 

“The Substance” is 2024’s best horror movie & will definitely land in the best of the past decade if not further out. 

4 1/2 activator bottles out of 5

This movie was kickass. Cool story line with a plausible “yeah I could see that” scenario all while ridiculous.

Def cool effects to be had here. 

3 out of 5 worm faces 

LFHG

Should have called “Amphibians” or “Reptiles” 

Not the greatest creature feature BUT I could see this making great source material for a remake. 

1 1/2 mehs out of 5

I’d never seen the trailer, didn’t know the plot but heard this was solid & what I heard was correct. 

Strange Darlin flipped anything I thought in the first act completely on its ass and did a great job unfolding a story that I could have never called. 

Highly recommend you just dive into this blind.
