1 week ago | bloody-disgusting.com | Joe Lipsett

Andrew Douglas’s The Amityville Horror is one of the most profitable entries in the early aughts series of classic horror remakes. Premiering in 2005, it takes the bones of Stuart Rosenberg’s classic haunted house film and throws in plenty of additional violence and gore. Adding to the terror are claims that the story is based on real events. One year after Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family, the Lutzes moved their three children into their house.

“You just have to fight for yourself; no one’s going to save you. That’s just life, right?”Generational identity is a sensitive subject. We often feel as if people our age have been put into reductive categories or dismissed and maligned due to the worst tendencies of a fraction of our members.

Lifetime’s ‘Secrets in the Foundation’ Offers a Bland, Familiar Haunting [Review]

4 weeks ago | bloody-disgusting.com | Joe Lipsett

It’s been a good run, but the streak of solid-to-great Lifetime titles has come to a screeching halt with Secrets in the Foundation. A bland, familiar, and poorly acted entry in the “Inspired by a true story” subgenre, the film’s most interesting element is the question of whether the house at the center of the story is, in fact, haunted. And to most horror fans, the answer will be very obvious, very early on.

Tubi’s ‘Ex Door Neighbor’ Cleverly Plays on Expectations [Review]

1 month ago | bloody-disgusting.com | Joe Lipsett

When it comes to straight romantic relationships in the thriller subgenre, there are several tried and true narratives to explore. One of the most prevalent is ‘the threatening ex’: the reappearance of one partner’s paramour threatens an otherwise happy and healthy couple, chipping away at the new romance through paranoia, jealousy, and – more often than not – a few nefarious acts.
