    #Horror365Challenge 315/365 #Shocktober #21 The People Under the Stairs (1991) Dir. Wes Craven For me, the 1990s can be a grim landscape for horror movies with some exceptions, this flick being one. A gem of a film from the iconic Wes Craven.

    31 Days Of Horror Film #21: THE MAKER (2011, Kezelos) ***** out of five You kind of know where it’s going a couple of minutes into its short runtime but that makes it all the more powerful. A rabbit like creature tries multiple methods to bring a puppet to life, while an hourglass ticks down.

    #spookyfilmfest! #21! Somehow I'd never seen this before. I love anthology films. These stories are a bit old hat, but the cast and performances are astounding; Sam Raimi, Stacy Keach, and Mark Hammill particularly stand out. Ok, I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek about Raimi (watch it to see how).

    Movie #21 Definitely Cage at his very best. I love when he can just be himself and act the way he wants to. Honestly I'd watch another 104 minutes of him crashing out and if he was the only actor in the whole movie I'd still enjoy it. I really like the agere scene where he sings the ABCs 4/5

    Halloween movie #21 "Undertone" It is incredibly rare that a movie scares me, but here we are. Jesus Fucking Christ this movie is creepy. If this movie were just a little more coherent in plot, it would displace "Session 9" as the best horror movie in my opinion. A+, recommended for horror fans.

    Film #21 Godzilla Minus One; A rewatch as @warmovietheatre.com were kind enough to have me on to discuss it. A genuine war movie that has something meaningful and important to say about the Japanese military and society, AND has great monster scenes. Roll on the sequel!

    Creepshow Cinema Night #21: THE GHOST TRAIN (1941) Not a horror film per se, but a comic thriller. In the crudest marketing terms, it's THE LADY VANISHES meets A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, and it's a rip-roaring 1:22 of entertainment.

    #21, Alien This was interesting to finally watch Hated how much it kinda made me want to rewatch Prometheus to actually determine what it preluded. Also kinda annoyed that Romulus failed to set up Ash correctly in their movie (not that I knew that at the time)

    Movie #21: Brian Duffield's #Whalefall: This whaley tale has value showing isolated horror and Abrams plays another effective one-man show, just not so much effective substance outside the belly of the beast. My ⭐⭐⭐ review

  • The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB reviews · Sep 10, 2022

    21 intrigues with a fascinating true story, fast pace, and fun characters. 21 entertains with its fast-paced story based on the real-life account of the MIT Blackjack Team, who tried their hand at counting cards in Vegas and won big. While 21 is not groundbreaking in its storytelling or execution, it's a fun and enjoyable film with a good twist and likable characters. This film sets itself apart from a typical heist movie in that card counting is not technically illegal. The characters weren't…
