Every year, as Halloween rolls around, Jay and I start thinking about how to celebrate Birthdayoween. Other than buying ridiculous amounts of Halloween decorations, that means a month’s worth of special posts here on Wondra’s World. So, we got to thinking… how can we mix it up? We’ve done Classic Horror. We’ve done Modern Horror. […]

Movie Review: Boo (2005)
CATEGORY: b movies, cinephile, couch potato, film and tv, film review, films, horror, horror movies, movie review, movies, schlock
Boo (2005) starts with an amusing Scream parody. It’s all downhill from there. Four college kids decide to break into a haunted hospital on Halloween and get stuck there. Meanwhile, the son of a cop (Michael Samluk’s Allan) enlists his father’s partner and washed-up actor, Dynamite Jones (Dig Wayne), to look for his sister who went […]

Book Review: WORLDS: A Science Fiction Microfiction Anthology (Dark Drabbles Book 1) by D Kershaw (editor)
Worlds is a collection of sci-fi microfiction and is the first in a series of Dark Drabbles from Black Hare Press. Some of the stories are creepy, some are heartbreaking, and some are just plain unnerving. Some are even laugh out loud funny (though that might say more about my sick sense of humor than […]

Movie Review: Eat Locals (2017)
CATEGORY: British cinema, cinephile, comedy, couch potato, film, film and tv, film review, horror, movie, movie reviewI don’t even know where to start with a movie like Eat Locals (2017) except to say that it’s a fucking treat. We watched it on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best movies we’ve seen this year. (Yeah, I know we’re a little late with this one. I don’t […]

Movie Review: Sphere (1998)

We’re wrapping up deep sea horror week with my favorite of the lot, Sphere (1998). I’ve seen a lot of hate for this one (yeah, Jay hates it too) but I don’t understand why. It’s clever, it’s creepy, the cast is great, and it has a powerful message. I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s do […]

Movie Review: Deep Rising (1998)
CATEGORY: action, b movies, cinephile, couch potato, deep sea, film, film and tv, film reviews, horror, movie, movie reviewI might be taking a few liberties when I include Deep Rising (1998) in a list of deep sea horror since none of the action actually takes place there but, hey, my blog, my rules. Deep Rising isn’t a super scary movie. It’s more of a comedic action flick but there are creepy aspects and there’s […]

Movie Review: The Abyss (1989)

Let’s keep this deep-sea boat sailing, shall we? Today, we’re going to be taking a look at James Cameron’s The Abyss (1989). A group of miners led by Ed Harris’s Bud Brigman are called in to assist a team of gung ho Navy SEALs when they have a bit of a problem with a missing […]

Movie Review: Deepstar Six (1989)
CATEGORY: b movies, cinephile, couch potato, film, film and tv, film reviews, horror, horror movies, movie, movie review
Deep sea week here at Wondra’s World continues with Deepstar Six (1989). Quite similar to Leviathan in many ways, Deepstar Six is about a team of people working underwater who come up against a monster. I struggled with this one because it’s a little unclear at first why the crew’s down there, since some people […]

Movie Review: Leviathan (1989)
CATEGORY: action movie, cinephile, couch potato, film and tv, film review, horror, horror movies, movie review, movies
We’re kicking off a week of deep sea action/horror here on Wondra’s World with Leviathan (1989), in which an American mining colony stumbles across a sunken Soviet vessel that should have remained undiscovered. There’s not much more to it than that, since there’s not much in the way of character development or side plots. It’s […]
