October Halloween Horror Fest 2020
I just plowed through 30 DTV "horror" movies on Amazon Prime Video. This was a bad year for sure. 2 didn't suck. 28 sucked hard. Stay away from these movies for Halloween. Watch 'The Babysitter 2' or 'Uncaged', about a killer lion in Amsterdam(On Prime now) instead.
The 2 movies on Prime worth recommending(barely)are 1&2 on the list.
'Don't Let Them In' is an actual horror movie. And 'Infection' is fine for a zombie movie. DON'T WATCH ANY OF THE OTHERS.

- DirectorMike DunkinStarsScott BrittonLouis DunkinAmanda HuntA home invasion horror movie in the vein of You're Next and The Purge, about a group of people under siege by masked intruders in an abandoned hotel.British flick, takes place on Halloween. Good shithole setting, well acted. Some twists and turns. The masks are not scary. But what's under the masks? Ooh! Scary!
- DirectorFlavio PedotaStarsRubén GuevaraLeónidas UrbinaMagdiel GonzálezFilm about an epidemic outbreak of a new rabies virus in Venezuela and a father trying to save his son from contagion.Perfectly serviceable zombie movie. A lot of action, little gore. It's not breaking any new ground, you've seen this movie 1,000 times already but it's well made, considering it's Venezuelan.
- DirectorMisty TalleyStarsReid MillerCourtney Lauren CummingsJim KlockTrying to survive his family Christmas, Cody makes a wish to be alone, which ends up backfiring when a shark manifests and kills his entire family.Not a 2020 but it's called Santa Jaws. Had to watch it. It's a kids movie. Less Sharknado and more Hallmark Christmas movie...with a giant shark in a Santa hat eating people. Good for Xmas family fun...probably not Halloween horror.
- DirectorLawrence FowlerStarsEthan TaylorRobert StrangeLucy-Jane QuinlanWhen a vintage Jack-in-the-box is found and opened, it's new owners soon have reasons to believe the creepy clown doll within has a life of its own.Way too much drama with so-so actors. The monster comes out of the box and walks around on 2 legs. So it's a "clown". That sucks. Just like this movie. Do not watch.
- DirectorLuke GuidiciEvan HughesPatrick LongstrethStarsBrooke SmithAdrian AnnisEvan ArnoldFeaturing cannibals, zombies and other funny creatures, Blood Clots consists of seven carefully curated, bloody horror stories by seven different filmmakers.Anthology of short films. Might not be bad for Halloween night. The last 2 shorts are comedies(?) that don't fit in with the rest and drag it down. Maybe if they had been first. Whatever.
- DirectorJames Cullen BressackStarsAlexei RyanCory JacobLisa FrantzOn the outside Adam appears to be a normal teenager, but underneath...his mind has been so rotted by trauma from his past and the gory films he watches, that he has blurred the lines between reality and pretend! This prompts Adam to start killing people in similar ways to films he watches, making sure to put his own little spin on it.Pure garbage. Shot on video, non actors improvising with no script. Ridiculous gore and blood and little of it. This is a bottom of the barrel "production".
- DirectorTommy FairclothStarsFelissa RoseDamian MaffeiErika ArleeA group of travelers are forced to seek shelter inside an abandoned jail where a notorious nun named Sister Monday had once been assigned and was suspected of murdering prisoners.Competent, looks fine, actual actors acting. It's just dull, barely any anything happens but actors walking around yapping and yapping. Finally the Nun does some killing and there is a double twist at the end. Not recommended.
- DirectorBecca HiraniStarsJon CallawayAbi Casson ThompsonKate LushThe Candy Witch seeks vengeance on the wealthy family that wronged her.At least it wasn't shot on a camcorder. The witch has a candy cane hook and there are several candy related deaths. Feels like a violent after school special. Oh, and it sucks ass.
- DirectorChristine ParkerStarsLaura BridgesGill Hope ThorntonLily CabreraAn ancient past and a lost love are the least of Louise's problems. If she can't escape the Mummy's curse everyone around her will be torn apart.Ok if you have a mummy squishing heads and ripping people's arms off...stick with that. Suddenly we get an hour of bad actors acting dramatically, and no mummy. Bad LOW budget bs.
- DirectorNicholas WinterStarsLucy AardenRachel BrightIan P CampbellA group of friends looking for a weekend of fun mistakenly cross paths with the Bone Breaker, turning their trip into a fight for survival.Well I thought The Bone Breaker would be some kind of a scary monster instead of a plain Jane. I don't even know why she was killing people in the first place. TERRIBLE.
- DirectorPatrick JohnsonStarsAshley AmosAbel BecerraJim BlumettiTwo teenage girls, are bored one night and turn to the internet for scary stories. They find a game on a creepy website that claims you can use your phone to summon the supernatural...and if you lose the game...you lose your life.blah blah blah. Scary demon phone games can kill you genre. If you're scared of your phone then this might not be bad for October chills. Otherwise it's just average. blah blah blah
- DirectorThor MorenoStarsJoseph Wray BarneyLes BestAnnette DuffyAn FBI Agent with a troubled past finds himself on a case that nobody else wanted. Sent to the Pacific Northwest, Agent Raleigh becomes entangled in a deadly game that the locals prefer to keep a secret.FBI guy assigned a case in a mountain town. Something in the woods may be eating people. It also possesses people and those people are scarier than the monster that shows up at the end. Not so good.
- DirectorJohn GiorgioStarsJimmy Ace LewisJ. Gaven WildeTroy FrominA man known only as the Stalker is looking for the Hamiltons, and is willing to kill anyone who gets in his way. Embark on a horror/mystery thrill ride that takes you back to the classic films of the genre.The Stalker hunts a family down. Crapass movie, AWESOME worst death scene when The Stalker gets killed at the end. But wait...he's alive...for a part 2. Oy vey.
- DirectorChristian BiscegliaAscanio MalgariniStarsAngelica AlleruzzoAntonio AlvearioAran BevanPeter has been cruel to children, animals and servants for a long time. One night he is ambushed and wakes up in a coffin, trapped after an earthquake, in the city's Gothic cemetery.Cruel Peter is barely in it. This is a possession movie. Jump scares, gore, decapitation, wild excorcism, wink wink ending. Everything but Cruel Peter.
- DirectorMj DixonStarsDavid Hon Ma ChuOriana CharlesDani ThompsonArielle's first day at work spirals into Pandemonium as a serial killer locks his sights on the after office party.A bunch of executive douchebags and some lame strippers get killed by a guy in a suit and a panda mask. Panda Mask Guy has terrible one-liners when he kills someone.
- DirectorJose AltonagaStarsSteffani BrassBrooke MackenzieTina ColeWhen Michele Chadwick's best friend Sophia accidentally awakens the spirit of a malevolent witch that died centuries ago, Michele has to find a way to save her soul from eternal damnation.Wow. Just wow. A technical and acting disaster tour de force. This could be a so bad it's good movie. Skip it unless you like that kind of shit and enjoy being stunned. I warned you.
- DirectorHarvey LowryStarsJack CampbellGrace StedmanCatherine KresgeAfter moving into a run-down farmhouse with his two daughters, a skeptical author seeks to uncover a sinister past that haunts the house and terrorizes his family.Lifetime family drama basically, with a pretty cool scary ghost witch lady. I'll give them that. By the numbers story. Might be scary for kids not teens. Twist ending AND Kevin Sorbo as well.
- DirectorHunter JohnsonStarsCharles ChudabalaBaker PowellCati GlidewellSix therapy patients are brought together at a secluded cabin to confront their strangest fears. But these fears won't just hurt them...they will kill them.Oh good god this sucks. Terrible acting and everything. Story doesn't make any sense. And the weird Doctor actor has to be seen to be believed. He's a ham sandwich.
- DirectorScott ChambersStarsGeorgina JaneMichael OwusuAbi Casson ThompsonAfter being horrendously embarrassed by the mean girls at school, Faye, a practicing witch, summons the evil Cupid to take revenge on all those who wronged her.From the director/writer team of The Candy Witch...a demonic Cupid movie that I think was supposed to be a comedy. Flying emo-pigface Cupid does rack up a decent body count. Not recommended.
- DirectorPearry Reginald TeoStarsRobert KazinskyCaden DragomerPeter JasonAfter a series of disturbing supernatural events in his home, Joel, a young single father, comes to suspect that his young son may be possessed.This movie takes itself way too seriously. Grim, depressing, dull and no fun at all.
- DirectorChristopher WellsStarsMichaela SpragueJake KatzmanMolly FaheyA man tries to recover a lost memory by returning to his family's Vermont vacation home where an unspeakable act took place leaving him institutionalized as a child.Red balloons aren't scary. This movie is barely coherent. At least the main guy, a total douchebag, gets hung and killed at the end. Now you don't have to watch it.
- DirectorErik Kristopher MyersStarsRachel ArmigerReed DeLisleMatt LakeA filmmaker discovers a box of video tapes depicting two students' disturbing film project featuring a local horror legend, The Peeping Tom. As he sets out to prove this story is real and release it as a work of his own, he loses himself and the film crew following him into his project.A "documentary" about a director who finds a box of found footage tapes about the "Peeping Tom blinky man". He tries to uncover the mystery but winds up dead in a bathtub. Somehow.
- DirectorAdam KrauseStarsLauren Ashley CarterTracy PerezAaron ChristensenAn unidentified man in Green Bay, WI has captured worldwide attention for roaming the streets dressed as a clown. Many write it off as a harmless prank, others aren't so sure. When a group of friends cross paths with the clown everyone calls Gags, his true intentions are revealed.Oh whatever. Scary clown comes to town. Kills some people. Turns people into zombie clowns to watch him perform or something. Told by copcam, newscam, teen hijinxers cam security cams, and right wing podcaster cam.
- DirectorIsak BorgDena Hysell-CornejoStarsSarah RoemerSean FarisJames SaitoVic Beckett, a brilliant researcher, creates the ultimate App that taps into the pleasure center of the brain and transmits a feeling of nirvana to the user. Instant celebrity and unlimited commercial applications corrupt his altruistic intention and when problems arise with his creation, he justifies doing whatever is necessary to keep the app online.A mad scientist tries to create a way to make people feel happy with unwilling test subjects. They seem to keep getting murderous instead. The military wants to use this to drive the enemy mad. Our mad scientist becomes a test subject. Ta da!
- DirectorRichard ChandlerStarsWilliam DeCoffAlexandra CipollaSarah MichelleAfter putting their bodies on the line for countless years, a family of professional wrestlers seek a brand new way to satisfy an impeccable bloodlust.This movie will make you dumber than you were than before you watched it. Most bad movies are just a waste of time, this movie is so bad it will damage your brain.
- DirectorHunter JohnsonStarsBrialynn MassieCharles ChudabalaDavid Wesley MarloweWhen an alcohol fueled hook up takes a violent and horrifying turn, three college athletes find themselves haunted by the very girl they left for dead.We wait...for Serena to even be in this movie and kill the 3 douchebags. The rest is yap yap yap, you can't act. One db gets raped, anally, with kitchen utensils another has his balls beaten bloody with a baseball bat.
- DirectorMatt GreenStarsZach GalliganL.A. WintersMason WellsA young boy finds a mystical toymaker with dark stories to tell.2 lame kids movies for the price of one, 3 with the wraparound. A leprechaun doll, a girl doll that has a voice like Ms. Swan from MadTV. WTF?!? 3rd doll is a clown. If you want to watch a scary movie with your 10 and under kids on Halloween, this might be okay.
- DirectorEduardo CastrilloStarsAlexander HeroJackie DallasMiguel A. Núñez Jr.Slasher/Thriller as blood thirsty share ride driver goes on rampage throughout the city.Has a pretty decent body count at least. Not as awful as you'd expect. It's a low budget ax-killer movie and keeps the drama out of it and the bodycount kinda high. I liked the ax-killer guy. Maybe not enough to watch the "to be continued in Ride Scare 2" promised in the credits.
- DirectorLibby McDermottStarsMel HeflinConrad BrooksScott SchiaffoFive college students embark on a paranormal investigation of Dead Woman's Hollow Road along the Appalachian Trail. The probe turns deadly when people in their camp begin dying. For those still alive, their only hope for survival is a wet behind the ears Sheriff who must come to terms with the fact that the darkness surrounding his quiet town isn't supernatural, but an evil that's very real.What the hell? Do these actors even care that they're in a movie? They seem totally disinterested and annoyed to have to utter their lines. This movie sucks.
- DirectorBrian Volk-WeissStarsDan CumminsFigured I'd try a stand up with Devil in the title because whatever. Kinda funny. Maybe his podcast is better. Maybe you love him. WHATEVER
