Thoughts on A Classic Horror Story

 A Classic Horror Story is an Italian horror movie. The movie feels a bit trite at first until you get to the twist. The story is entertaining and clever with a musical score that is very eerie and appropriate. The visuals are very stylish, vivid, and feel almost grindhouse-like. Check it out if you enjoy horror in the grindhouse subgenre.

Thoughts on Mr. Harrigan’s Phone

 Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is a movie based on a Stephen King short story of the same name. It is very similar to the written story and is a fine, albeit somewhat predictable yarn. It is well acted but feels like low stakes for a movie. It is a fine film if you liked the short story. However, if you are looking for something spooky, look elsewhere.

Thoughts on Halloween Ends

 Halloween Ends is the final Halloween film of the David Gordon Green/Danny McBride trilogy. It is different, it is riskier, and maybe in time it will be appreciated, like Halloween 3. However, after first viewing I was troubled trying to figure out the tone. Who is this a Halloween movie for? What is trying to be said? It felt like the polar opposite of the past two movies. Still, I didn’t hate it. Catch it if you want, it is divisive, but different that what was expected.
