Blu-ray Review: Dahmer (2002)

Remember when mother fuckin’ Hawkeye played (literal) man-eater Jeffrey Dahmer? Yeah, me freakin’ either… but he did, so here we are! The long and the short of Dahmer goes as follows: going out of his way to prove he’s no Willy fuckin’ Wonka, chocolate factory worker Jeffrey Dahmer (Jeremy Renner) prowls Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for young male victims to turn into brain dead (and eventually dead dead) sexual playthings. Along the way, he reminisces about earlier murder biz, and his relationship with his pappy (Willard himself, Bruce Davison) who thinks something is off about his boy, but isn’t sure just what. It’s non-stop spills and thrills as we learn just what this serial killin’ scamp was up to before his ass got thrown in the hole forever and a day… Besides boasting a gritty, almost grindhouse style (in terms of aesthetic if not on screen carnage) the main draw to this flick is the performance of Renner who manages to make

Blu-ray Review: Itsy Bitsy (2019): Dan XIII’s take!

Kara (Elizabeth Roberts) has a lot going for her… all of it bad. She is a former pill-popper, she killed one of her kids in a car accident, and her marriage has fallen to shit and back… so naturally Kara wants to get the hell out of dodge. To that end, she shoves her still-living brood, Jesse (Arman Darbo) and Cambria (Chloe Perrin0), into the car and moves cross country to take a position as caregiver to former treasure hunter Walter (Bruce Davison). Long story short; Walter owns an ancient artifact that contains a fucking huge spider that is tied to the spirit of a goddess, and that beastly bitch gets loose causing all manner of mayhem for our heroes… eventually. You see, the thing is, Itsy Bitsy has a bit of a focus problem. Is it a heavy-handed domestic drama, or is it a delirious creature feature? It’s both, and therein lies a problem pacing wise, and let’s be

Movie Review: Itsy Bitsy (2019)

From director Micah Gallo comes the frightening flick Itsy Bitsy, a tale about a troubled family relocating to a new town following a terrible event only to find they must now face a new threat. You can’t help but feel sympathy for the family, a single mother (Elizabeth Roberts), her son (Armen Darbo), and her daughter (Chloe Perrin) who have moved to a new town so she can work as a home care nurse for an older man (Bruce Davison) who collects illegal artifacts. The mother is struggling. When you learn why your heart will break. She clearly has PTSD on top of a lot of guilt which causes her to push her children away, leaving her young son to take care of her daughter. The cinematography by Marcos Durian is absolutely fantastic. Itsy Bitsy gets something right that most horror films don’t, dark scenes. When a scene is set at night or in a dark room you are still
