The TODDcast

Boring zombie in the desert movie. The lead works out some of her co-dependency issues by being dependent on a zombie. Yeah.

#itstainsthesandsred #amazon #peacock #tubi #31daysofhalloweenmovies

From the makers of the BBC Sherlock, an adaptation of the classic bipolar character. Updated and James Nesbitt is unbelievable as both. Watch!!!

#jekyll #bbc #31daysofhalloweenmovies #jamesnesbitt

A low-rent version of Final Destination. Not terrible but the acting is definitely stuntman worthy considering the amount of sky diving.

#amazonprime #hex #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Supernatural thriller from late 90s with Denzel. Not sold?

Best use of Rolling Stones "Time is on my side" ever.

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #fallen #denzel

Bill Paxton's directoral debut is an excellent film, period. It makes for scary watching because it feels like it could happen. Go in unspoiled!

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #frailty #billpaxtonrip

When the director of Sharknado is in charge... sure the Asylum makes junk but it seems a waste when you can have decent sets and some modicum of SFX go to waste like this.

At least Judd Nelson got a paycheck?

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #danteshotel #tubi

This feels like you are getting several movies in one and the tonal shifts did not work for me.

I enjoyed moments that really worked well, but as a whole, the parts are just better. Other Korean zombie flicks have done it better as have their possession movies.

#tubi #thewailing #31daysofhalloweenmoves.

A mockumentary with a Paranormal Activity bend, but definitely a more realistic vibe.

Might need to check your brain from some of the turns and reactions, but overall worth the slow burn.

#lakemungo #31daysofhalloweenmovies #tubi

The poster says it all " a whodunnit with teeth." Knives Out this ain't but it does have the fun "Clue" keep you guessing until the end.

The werewolf is only moderately in this. But definitely worth a watch!

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #werewolveswithin #hulu

Trigger warning should apply as suicide is depicted quite a bit. Other than that, highly recommended.

Won't be everyone's cup like the elevated horror of Babadook, but similar and effective.

#smile #smilemovie #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Outside of Shaun of the Dead, is there a better zombie horror comedy?

"Zombie Kill of the Week" and Columbus's rules are gold!

Check out some of the best usages of Harrelson and Eisenberg ever.

#zombieland #31daysofhalloweenmovies #

Not breaking a lot of new ground, but does it so technically well it's easy to overlook. Tran could be another Mike Flanagan.

Couture looked like he was having fun with genre twister and ripper. @coltontran and his usual suspects do a great job here.

Reminded me of the movie that Cabin in the Woods might have been based on.

A hodge podge of genre styling that does not mix.

Cruise action set pieces with lack of humor really hurt, but so do dodgy special efx and bad story.

#cruise #31daysofhalloweenmovies #themummy

Unique spin on Dracula. Hoult and Cage rock as the not-so dynamic duo.

The ending falters a bit but a lot of the lore really works for this update.

#renfield #cage #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Do I buy the "Based on True Story?" Nah. Did @coltontran knock this out of the park? YEAH

Effective thriller with a pregnant girl stuck inside. Do not want to spoil it, but check it out for FREE on #tubi now!!

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #coltontran and co!

3rd Hercule Peirot by Branagh. Different but good.

Supernatural thriller is downplayed but well acted and presented.

#ahauntinginvenice #branagh #31daysofhalloweeenmovies

No one, indeed. Forgo the silent home invasion rip of "Signs."

The twist isn't really a twist and the execution, except for the opening invasion parts is boring.

#noonewillsaveyou #hulu #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Wish it had been better executed but the "Back to the Future" mash up with Friday the 13th just doesn't work.

Go watch "Freaky" instead.

#totallykiller #31daysofhalloweenmovies #totallyboring

Yelchin kills in this adaptation of a Koontz character that really works.

Nimble direction from Sommers wins.

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #oddthomas #amazonprime

Yelchin and Farrell elevate the remake.

Lots of ambiance and a great score add to the tension and story.

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #frightnight #amazonprime

Fairly effective underwater haunted house mash up.

Nothing inventive other than that and the makers conviction to carry it out.

#thedeephouse #amazonprime #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Katey Segal as fallen Nashville singing terror? Works for me.

#amazon #31daysofhalloweenmovies #tornhearts 

Weird but effective possessed item killer like Rubber.

Has a moral message more like "The Stuff"

#slaxx #31daysofhalloweenmovies #killerjeans

A classic from PRE-LOTR Jackson. 

Funny, scary, moving. EFX hold up and the story works.

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #thefrighteners #michaeljfox

Not quite scary, but close enough?

Compentently directed but relatively uninspired. 

#31daysofhalloweenmovies #signficantother #paramountplus

Affleck is the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

Yeah, O'Toole is the exposition bomb actually.

Koontz WROTE the screenplay... blame him.

#koontz #phantoms #31daysofHalloweenmovies

A King adaption that totally works!

Mike Flanagan started his adaptation roll here. Most thought it wouldn't work.

He proved them wrong.

#geraldsgame #netflix #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Even King fans will probably want to skip.

Sutherland and Martell are interesting enough together, but do little to scare you.

#netflix #mrharrigansphone #31dayspfhalloweenmovies

Go watch. Now.

@giacchino knocks it out of the friggin park.

#werewolfbynight #disneyplus #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Another family classic that is the perfect way to introduce kids to scary stuff.

If it was live action, it would have kicked!

#scoobydoozombieisland #amazonprime #31daysofhalloweenenmovies

A new family classic for a reason. Not unlike Nightmare Before Christmas.

The balance of scares, humor and animation are assisted with great voice work. 

#paranorman #roku #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Creepy cult flick in one location that is most effective.

Little bit goring for squeamish but not over the top.

#1BR #amazonprime #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Romancing the Vampire? For some reason set at Christmas at Lake Tahoe, adds nothing to the movie.

Low budget but decent ideas.

#redsnow #freevee #31daysofhalloweenmovies

If you like Lovecraft then this is definitely for you.

Kwanten does ok but Simmons as a restroom bound voiceover steals the show.

#glorious #shudder #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Zoom Pandemic Seance. 

That kinda summarizes it. 

#shudder #host #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Vampire story plus disaffected marriage tale.

Actually works really well and has gore for you.

One of more interesting flicks in while.

#jakobswife #shudder #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Remaking alert, but this OG with Eddie Murphy still works.

Definitely lighter fare for the family, but a jaunty laugh.

#disneyplus #31daysofhalloweenmovies #hauntedmansion

Shackled to dead guy? Check out #GeraldsGame for something better

Fox does ok. More thriller than scary. #tilldeath #31daysofhalloweenmovies #netflix

Get's better by season

Somehow adding more depth and more characters and still balancing...

Like Daniel-san on a pier.

#netflix #cobrakai

Predictably acted written and directed, but good enough to elevate.

Stallone nails stoic, kid is witty without precociousness. 

#samaritan #amazonprime #stallone

Ron Howard has mastered this type of real-life re-telling.

It's like Apollo 13 in a cave- wait a minute, 13???

#13lives #amazonprime

Can I compare a movie to cotton candy? 

Foxx is better than this. Most of the players are. 

#dayshift #netflix

Killer entry in great franchise.

Comanche girl makes for great prequel.

#hulu #prey

Gosling, De Armas, Evans, the Russos all do their work, yet it feels very workman-like.

Ably bridges Bourne and Bond, but is that enough?

#thegrayman #russobros #chrisevans #gosling #netflix

Thompson and McCormack carry this well.

Graphic for a good reason.

#goodluckleogrande #hulu 

John Cho pulls off being a teen parent. Roadtrip dramedy works well. 

#amazonprime #dontmakemego

Independent film that pre-dates the multiversal hero movies by five years.

Does to multi-verse evil twin stories what Primer did for time travel.

#thewrongtodd #goodmovie #amazonprime

Lots of talent, derivative story.

Hard to sit through unless you are a kid. 

#netflix #theseabeast 

The most #Waititi movie of the Marvel movies.

Lots of to LOVE and not LOVE. 

#marvel #loveandthunder #thor

Performances are ok. Story and sci-fi concept carry the day on this. Little graphic but interesting.
