Only two features in and the Philippous brothers have already proven themselves to be two of the most original voices in horror. “Bring Her Back” is loaded with great performances, a heartbreaking story, and some truly inventive gore!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with something a little different. I’m featuring an ongoing series of classic movie scenes as exposure to some of the wonderful moments in cinema. Sometimes they’ll be acdtion scenes, sometimes scary scenes, even dialogue scenes from classic Hollywood. This edition features a still-incredible transformation scene from “An American Werewolf In London” the 1981 John Landis classic that many consider to be the best werewolf movies ever made. If you haven’t seen “An American Werewolf In London” and like good horror movies, maybe this scene will convince you to check it out. The setup: David (David Naughton) is alone in Jenny Aguter’s London flat on the first full moon since being attacked by a werewolf.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Alexandre Aja’s latest film titled “Never Let Go.” It tells the tale of June (Halle Berry) a single mother raising twin boys in a remote cabin after an unnamed apocolyptic event has wiped out most, if not all, of the human population. There is an unnamed evil in the woods that threatens the family at every turn, but the cabin that June and her sons inhabit is spelled to protect them against this evil. As long as they maintain their connection to the house via three long ropes, they can venture outside to hunt and collect wood, food, and water. “Never Let Go” is the mantra by which they live, but decreasing food stores and June’s struggles with her mental health lead to challenges they might not be able to overcome!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here! Back in 2018, John Krasinski left “Jim” from “The Office” behind forever when he unleashed the Death Angels upon an unsuspecting audience! Creepy and original monsters combined with a touching tale of the family trying to survive them, “A Quiet Place” became an instant hit and launched an unlikely franchise! “A Quiet Place: Part II” expanded the universe but still continued the personal story of the Abbott family and managed to become a hit despite opening in theaters just as the pandemic was ending. Now we have “A Quiet Place: Day One” a prequel that tells the tale of the Death Angels arrival from space through the lense of one of the loudest cities in the world: New York! It’s a worthy entry in the franchise that again prioritizes character over spectacle and features a terrific performance by Lupita Nyong’o!
