A shitstorm of bad news sends out-of-work filmmaker Jimmy Lang spiraling into an out-of-control bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they’ll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war. When the sun sets, the duo are thrown into a hallucinatory explosion of aliens, booze, and carnage.
A group of disillusioned outsiders abandon modern society in search of a new beginning. Settling on a remote, uninhabited island, their utopian dream quickly unravels as they discover that the greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other.
If you’re streaming this at home, don’t get too comfortable since you’ll be asleep long before anyone so much as flashes a wooden stake. #jackmeatsflix
I'd suggest going in blind for this romantic body horror with strong performances from real-life couple Franco and Brie, blending humor with transformation. #jackmeatsflix
A gritty, blood-drenched zombie ride with sharp fight scenes and some bizarre moments that won’t wow, but should satisfy horror die-hards. #jackmeatsflix
Ice Cube leads a screenlife alien invasion flick with decent designs but suspiciously COVID-era production vibes feel like an algorithm creation. #jackmeatsflix
B-movie alien mayhem with Predator vibes and a fun weapon arsenal. I wasn't wowed but you may get some mildly entertaining sci-fi fluff. #jackmeatsflix
Bella Thorne plays a misguided vigilante in this low-stakes thriller where ghostly guidance and clumsy twists fail to deliver real thrills. #jackmeatsflix
It’s fun, it’s watchable, it scratches that nostalgic itch with enough nods to keep fans smiling, but it doesn't move the franchise forward. #jackmeatsflix
They were shooting for an uncomfortable, stripped-down psychological horror, but nauseating camera work and hollow characters drag this one down. #jackmeatsflix
Fun dino action with stunning visuals, but the magic’s long extinct. JW Rebirth delivers expected thrills without recapturing that original awe. #jackmeatsflix
The Philippou brothers have crafted a horror movie you ought to watch blind. It’s disturbing, gripping, and at times shockingly grotesque with a purpose. #jackmeatsflix
Thunderbolts* is a heartfelt MCU shake-up, more about flawed heroes battling inner demons than saving the world, with stellar cast chemistry and story-driven spectacle. #jackmeatsflix
If you’re brave enough to face predictable scares, flat exposition, and a bear that’s somehow both cute and aggressively underwhelming, hit play #jackmeatsflix
My watchlist is littered with foreign flix such as this moody meditation on motherhood and identity, dressed up with occasional skeletal cracking. #jackmeatsflix
Possibly Cronenberg’s final film is a fittingly morbid yet thoughtful meditation on death, technology, and the strange ways we attempt to keep loss at bay. #jackmeatsflix
Trying something new since these two are nearly identical in story, with very different finales, so separate reviews would have been redundant. #jackmeatsflix
This popcorn flick doesn’t rewrite the script but it features tight choreography, intense one-on-one fights, and the chops of two action veterans. #jackmeatsflix
Cuckoo is an odd, artistic trip that is more about the atmosphere and the creepy sense that something is very wrong in this isolated place. #jackmeatsflix
This has the bones of a decent low-budget survival tale, but it doesn’t deliver the urgency or thematic depth needed to elevate it beyond that. #jackmeatsflix
Shadow Force is at war with itself, torn between being a gritty action piece and a heartfelt family drama, yet never excelling at either. #jackmeatsflix
Sinners brings powerful performances, standout music, stunning visuals, and genre-splicing boldness to this "From Dusk Till Dawn in period clothing" horror flick. #jackmeatsflix
Rosario is a visually impressive but narratively thin horror flick that sacrifices substance for style, carried by Emeraude Toubia in a near-solo performance. #jackmeatsflix
Director Jason Reitman successfully juggles this film about chaos birthing brilliance that turned sketch comedy into an American institution. #jackmeatsflix
Shiver Me Timbers is a baffling, blood-soaked cash grab stitched together with bad CGI, worse logic, and a total disrespect for continuity. #jackmeatsflix
ApoKalypse is just like retail work if your coworkers are stoners, your customers are undead, and your shift ends in a blood-soaked food court. #jackmeatsflix
This deranged home invasion flick is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of movie, and if you’ve read my reviews before, you've probably decided which side you’re on. #jackmeatsflix
Presence is worth watching for the concept alone, especially if you're in the mood for something different and not a scream or gore fest. #jackmeatsflix
This flick tries to blend bachelorette party drama with slasher thrills, but delivers a bland, bloodless experience that forgets what makes the genre tick. #jackmeatsflix
A mother denied her son’s existence storms a fortress of lies, unraveling a shadowy conspiracy with fists, fury, and a will that won’t break. #jackmeatsflix
This oddball horror strays from the typical jump-scare path, but with its jumbled storytelling, the message kind of gets lost in translation. #jackmeatsflix
Bloody, relentless, and morally bankrupt, Havoc is a solid, no-frills action ride with enough brutal set pieces to satisfy fans of the genre. #jackmeatsflix
A good but not great creature-feature satire that is fun, inventive, and unexpectedly heartfelt, with just enough bite to make it stand out. #jackmeatsflix
Drop is a wild ride through one of the worst first dates imaginable, delivering just enough suspense and tech-driven terror to justify the trip. #jackmeatsflix
This isn’t a movie. It’s a punishment. A 91-minute hostage situation with attention whores screaming over each other like it’s an audition into Hell. #jackmeatsflix
Locked doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it spins with enough tension to make the ride worthwhile if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers. #jackmeatsflix
This flick won’t redefine the genre, but it’s a solid foreign action flick with enough spectacle, tension, and heart to be worth the ride. #jackmeatsflix
Freaky Tales is a bold, genre-bending blast through 1987 Oakland, mixing street fights, rap battles, and supernatural mayhem into a nostalgic, cult-worthy adventure. #jackmeatsflix
It Feeds delivers creepy visuals and solid scares, but its familiar story and slow pacing make it a decent but forgettable horror watch. #jackmeatsflix
After the last few good movies, this flick serves up discount guts and life advice from morons proving some urban legends should stay abandoned. #jackmeatsflix
If you're into fast-paced, genre-bending films that don’t take themselves too seriously, go in blind like I did and just enjoy the ride. #jackmeatsflix
If you enjoy simple sci-fi thrillers, and performances that sneak up on you, Companion fits just don't expect a Terminator-style bloodbath, #jackmeatsflix
This show is a visually appealing, twisty survival whodunit with standout performances from its core cast and a mystery that earns its resolution. #jackmeatstv
This flick delivers a more unsettling psychological horror experience than traditional horror and is carried by its strong performances. #jackmeatsflix
Fans of low-budget genre films and time travel conundrums, this may be worth a watch to see how creative choices can outshine flashy effects. #jackmeatsflix
A bold but uneven indie sci-fi that takes a predictable premise and pushes it somewhere worthwhile with strong performances and a gutsy finale. #jackmeatsflix
My quick rating – 3.7/10. My quick rating – 3.7/10. This movie starts with a gruesome bang, claiming to be based on true events of fetal abduction. While there have
I clicked on this amusing, well-acted film not knowing what to expect and I appreciated the dark humor aside from some irritating style choices. #jackmeatsflix
If you’re looking for an actual killer koala movie, just grab a stuffed animal & shake it in front of your face while talking to yourself. It’ll be far more
If you want to experience true horror, try explaining this movie’s logic to someone who hasn’t seen it. It’ll haunt you longer than the film itself. #jackmeatsflix
A rushed but entertaining scifi horror flick with strong practical effects and a bleak atmosphere, just don’t expect a fully fleshed-out story. #jackmeatsflix
This recently featured flick is a by-the-numbers thriller that never truly takes off so unless you are a die-hard Wahlberg fan you may want to pass. #jackmeatsflix
This horror flick successfully blends supernatural horror with real-world anxieties to deliver a worthwhile watch for fans of modern creature features. #jackmeatsflix
This is a scifi/thriller that is borderline soft-core porn yet thought-provoking and will stick with you, but not necessarily in a good way. #jackmeatsflix
Our first guest reviewer, Michelle, brings us her review of A Complete Unknown, nominated for Best Picture. If interested in reviewing, shoot me a message. #jackmeatsflix
Netflix brings us an easygoing, watch-and-forget spy romp that won’t be winning awards but still delivers some good chemistry between the leads and popcorn action fun. #jackmeatsflix
This Cronenberg Best Picture nominee most likely won't win BUT I do believe Demi Moore takes home her Oscar in one of my favorites of the year. #jackmeatsflix
I tuned my site to load faster for this Oscar nominated flick that balances fun with emotional depth, making it a great watch for all ages. #jackmeatsflix
Time to watch more of these Oscar nominees starting with this well-acted, and visually impressive film, featuring a stellar performance from Ralph Fiennes. #jackmeatsflix
My tagline exists for movies like Crispy—I sat through this 76-minute disaster so you don’t have to. I better stop writing now before I just get mean. #jackmeatsflix
This was a serviceable action film with solid performances and moments of entertainment watching the old man slap around the cocky thugs. #jackmeatsflix
A beautifully acted yet overly abstract film that falls short of horror the label but succeeds as a metaphorical deep dive into the complexities of motherhood. #jackmeatsflix
My quick rating – 4.0/10. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Napoleon Dynamite tried to remake Blade with a budget that couldn’t cover a decent pizza party, then
My quick rating – 2.8/10. Piglet is another flick that attempts to ride the coattails of the recent surge in popularity for twisted fairytale horror flix, but unfortunately, it squeals
Moana 2 has just reached the billion-dollar mark at the box office, check out this slideshow of the 56 movies in that prestigious club. Now, Moana 2 Billion Dollar Box
I got sidetracked adding my new site to Cloudflare last night. Here is a psychological thriller with strong performances and cinematography. #jackmeatsflix
A nostalgic and heartfelt tribute, but one that plays it safe and misses the chance to explore the man behind the legend in greater detail. #jackmeatsflix
I thought this was an amusing tribute to the glory days of action cinema and a reminder of the value of preserving independent theaters. #jackmeatsflix
This movie is a unique blend of humor, horror, and sheer audacity, and is a must-watch for fans of offbeat genre experiments this Christmas. #jackmeatsflix
I was itching to see the finale of this trilogy and for fans of the anti-hero and his wisecracking symbiote, it’s a dance worth watching. #jackmeatsflix
Cleaning up this Xmas horror playlist and I was treated to another slasher that has no memorable kills, subpar acting, and a lackluster story. Enjoy LOL. #jackmeatsflix
If you are still interested in the absurdity of a slasher Winnie the Pooh flick, this sequel is actually a step up from the first offering. #jackmeatsflix
I was apprehensive but this trip to the afterlife was well worth it with high-energy performances, inventive visuals, and clever callbacks to the original. #jackmeatsflix
Time to get into full swing on the Xmas horror flix although not as gung-ho as I am in #Shocktober. Not only holidays but my new site is coming. #jackmeatsflix
I always look forward to what the Mahal Empire has next and fans of their signature style will find enough to enjoy in this medieval monster mash. #jackmeatsflix
If you are a fan of slow-burn psychological horror this is a film with ambition that ultimately left me wishing for more cohesion and depth. #jackmeatsflix
I recently reviewed a very good "Thanksgiving" horror by that name so I revisited this silly holiday flick to potentially put a smile on your face. #jackmeatsflix #thankskilling
This flick may lure you in with its quirky premise but don’t expect the fun it promises. Instead, you’ll get a poorly executed film that’s as forgettable as it is
It always seems like bad things happen if you stay at school during a holiday break especially for these 2 during this December to dismember. #jackmeatsflix
This movie couldn't be bothered with entertaining me so I won't be wasting my time rewriting my notes but you will get the jist of it when reading. #jackmeatsflix
Surgery went smoothly and Rebecca is at Armidale Hospital now so I can put a bit of time back into my reviews including a favorite of mine newly animated. #jackmeatsflix
I'll be gone for a bit so content may be scarce. If you are seeking a gripping, well-acted thriller without the need for a jaw-dropping twist, this flick is worth
Just quick thoughts on this one. You might find this Statham action vehicle entertaining if you can leave your common sense behind for the ride. #jackmeatsflix
With a little more story development, added runtime, and some polish, this could have been a stronger #Shocktober entry (almost forgot this 1-hour flick). #jackmeatsflix
This is a unique, darkly funny take on the strange consequences of unasked-for fame, buoyed by a standout performance from Nicolas Cage. #jackmeatsflix
Just a rating. With Rebeccas upcoming surgery and a new website off of WIX and onto another host, I will be quite busy until, my guess, a 2025 launch. #jackmeatsflix
Rebecca and I saved this #Shocktober treat for Halloween night and we ended up getting a gruesome Christmas surprise that this slasher fan adored. #jackmeatsflix
#SHOCKtober never ends in October and has stragglers such as this near-silent horror flick that offers up a unique demon sacrifice tale. #jackmeatsflix
This #Shocktober scif-horror doesn't stray from the beaten path but still manages to be average due to its polished look and amusement of Megan Fox as a robot. #jackmeatsflix
I pointlessly waited for Devil's Night this #Shocktober to watch this remake and it has nothing to do with it nor did it do justice to the 1994 cult classic.
I wanted to get at least a "Halloween" flick reviewed on the #Shocktober day (here) and since I hadn't ever posted this review, that will do. #jackmeatsflix
I realized I never returned with any review for this #Shocktober flick, 4 years ago LOL. It wasn't terrible but definitely not worth the wait. #jackmeatsflix
@EliRoth presents a chilling tale of Irish folklore about Lady Hodnett haunting a castle and viewing her visitors through the mirrors, all in immersive 3D. #jackmeatstv #Shocktober
I watched the latest movie from Coralie Fargeat last night (review incoming) so I thought I should introduce a double #Shocktober feature today. #jackmeatsflix
After years of anticipation, I ended up with a watchable update for #Shocktober that just doesn't do enough things right to be memorable. #jackmeatsflix
If you're a fan of surreal narratives with noir influences and don’t mind something a bit offbeat, it’s worth a watch this #Shocktober if you're a fan of David Lynch.
The latest #Shocktober entry in the Alien franchise is technically impressive in every way, from its beautiful cinematography to its tight pacing. #jackmeatsflix
I know what you are thinking and this #Shocktober #turkey won't even drag a giggle out of you in relation to the SUPERB flick it parodies. #jackmeatsflix
This #Shocktober flick has some effective horror and character drama but a stronger resolution could have made this a more memorable film. #jackmeatsflix
If you’re in it for the camp, nudity, and a wild concept this #Shocktober , you might find a few chuckles here. Everyone else, there’s little reason to watch this
I recently finished this show from 2022 that leans to horror for #Shocktober once you learn what a "Connect" does which is visually stunning. #jackmeatstv
If you are looking for a gritty, well-orchestrated horror-thriller that leans more toward psychological intensity than outright scares this #Shocktober, here you go. #jackmeatsflix
If you’re looking for a film that annoys you just for existing this #Shocktober, this might be it. Otherwise, skip this narcissistic trainwreck. #jackmeatsflix
This sequel let off the gas veering in the wrong direction of #Shocktober greatness but still is a disturbing psychological thriller with horror elements. #jackmeatsflix
I just watched the sequel the other night and realized I did NOT review the first back in March 2020 so here are the notes I took shortly after watching
I checked out this slow psychological horror flick when I was in Syndey and it barely slides in for this #Shocktober as the suspense hooked me. #jackmeatsflix
This #Shocktober flick tries to combine emotional storytelling with supernatural horror but is hindered by a low budget and a poorly written story. #jackmeatsflix
We get a well-shot #Shocktober film with strong performances from its leads, but it misses on delivering enough fear or urgency to keep you holding your breath (I had to
A commendable #Shocktober effort with an interesting premise on no budget, but ultimately too restrained in the horror department to be memorable. #jackmeatsflix
I was able to slip in a 3D flick right before #Shocktober began but I didn't exactly pick a winner with this tame shark attack excursion. #jackmeatsflix
I am still unboxing so I am catching up on some horror flicks I watched while in Sydney including this #thankskilling slasher I watched last #Christmas for this #shocktober. #jackmeatsflix
If you're in the mood for some creative kills and the ridiculousness of a B-budget horror flick, you might find yourself enjoying this mess. #jackmeatsflix
This video game adaptation has some wildly varied pros and cons that ended up giving me a mediocre action experience that was saved by the superb @EliRoth. #jackmeatsflix
Gillian Anderson stars in this average revenge thriller that drags a lot before getting to the point and ends up being very far-fetched. #jackmeatsflix
If you're in the mood for some sinfully good gore this is a fun watch with decent kills, but don't expect anything revolutionary. #jackmeatsflix #eikid
This flick stands out as the best overall Godzilla movie I’ve seen. It’s visually stunning, emotionally engaging, and a welcome addition to the franchise. #jackmeatsflix
Guy Ritchie brings us a straightforward action movie with an ensemble cast creatively dispatching Nazis that I found entertaining enough. #jackmeatsflix
Aside from the brief usage of the great Harvey Keitel, this is a watchable but ultimately forgettable action flick that Olga Kurylenko tries hard to save. #jackmeatsflix
This flick may not be the best entry in the franchise, but it's still a well-crafted film that successfully captures the terror of the early days of the alien invasion.
Tells an entertaining story about a club owner during the late '70s and early '80s Miami cocaine scene and how he ends up working for the CIA. #jackmeatstv
It's a documentary-style supernatural flick that starts strong and has some decent ideas but strays from that and is hampered by some bad acting. #jackmeatsflix
I am glad they pulled off a worthy sequel to the original flick and brought the extreme weather back to screens for another round of fun. #jackmeatsflix
This JLo sci-fi flick has well-done action and solid CGI but it doesn’t quite elevate itself beyond the typical sci-fi fare despite the money they threw at it. #jackmeatsflix
It isn't the worst "Thing" ripoff out there, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table and doesn't give enough entertainment to leave an impression. #jackmeatsflix
Just a quick thought on this horror flick since today is the day Wix is supposedly limiting social sharing, which is how I get my daily posts distributed. #jackmeatsflix
Strangely enjoyable b-budget sci-fi horror flick with inconsistent CGI, a lack of on-screen gore, and characters who make bafflingly poor decisions. #jackmeatsflix
This might be the weakest flick in Ti West's trilogy but that doesn't mean it isn't a well-made thriller with Mia Goth again captivating us as Maxine. #jackmeatsflix
This clever comedic slasher was on my shortlist for the top 10 of last year and is definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre. #jackmeatsflix
Luckily I gave this one a rating because, beyond my initial thought, I don't recall any of this one. Not a great sign but it was during the accident. #jackmeatsflix
You get 4 irritating streamers heading to a house that was a former home for a satanic cult and you get no gore or quality kills, just a headache. #jackmeatsflix
The Voices (2014) Ryan Reynolds plays a likable guy pursuing his office crush with help from his evil talking pets (whom he voices), but things turn sinister when she stands
This horror/comedy is worth dropping on your watchlist if quirky characters, effective blood effects, and a fun storyline sound appealing. #jackmeatsflix
This might be your thing or it might not but they are calling it the very first serial killer buddy movie of all time which caught my eye. #jackmeatsflix
I am not going to dignify this one by expanding on my initial comments and from what I recall, this score still might be generous for this slasher flick. #jackmeatsflix
Crowe carried horror flick with high production values and strong performances that is ultimately let down by a lackluster story and sluggish pacing. #jackmeatsflix
During the Olympics I will try and catch up on these drafts in various stages of completion such as this visually stunning and technical marvel. #jackmeatsflix
Finally the third and would be the best part of the trilogy had the ending not seemed to be so rushed and I promise next time I'll check ahead. #jackmeatsflix
This will be a three-parter today and is more or less my quick reaction and notes to this DC comic story involving the entire superhero crew. #jackmeatsflix
Another sequel with well-executed action, engaging new characters, and the iconic duo, making this a must-watch for franchise fans and action enthusiasts. #jackmeatsflix
If you're a horror fan looking for a decent flick to pass the time, this might be worth a watch but don't expect it to leave a lasting impression. #jackmeatsflix
Maybe you can let the poor acting and lack of tension slide and get a bit of entertainment out of this action/horror flick. I somehow did. #jackmeatsflix
The story borrows from other films in the surviving incredible odds to become a free man so if you temper your expectations you might have some fun. #jackmeatsflix
Unfortunately after picking up the great story and ditching the poor soap opera dialogue, the show doesn't get renewed for a third season. #jackmeatstv
George Miller returns and brings us a well-made, gripping tale of vengeance and survival solidifying Furiosa's place as a central figure in this iconic saga. #jackmeatsflix
I have a double feature today for this revitalized franchise and I will leave my review as-is from a decade ago since it was more my notes right after watching.
The newest Ghostbuster flick combines the nostalgic elements of the original with fresh storytelling, resulting in a film that feels both familiar and new. #jackmeatsflix
This flick was labeled horror but I was left unsure if it’s meant to be taken seriously or as a parody and it still failed on either side. #jackmeatsflix
If you're looking for an entertaining and strangely thought-provoking slasher, this one is worth checking out for the creativity and stupidity. #jackmeatsflix
A terrifying and brutally effective horror flick showcasing impressive makeup effects and a relentless barrage of fear-inducing moments. #jackmeatsflix
A breath of fresh air in the slasher genre shifting the focus to the accidentally resurrected killer's POV and the brutal kills he doles out. #jackmeatsflix
I wouldn't even know where to begin in saying how revolutionary this man was to film. He will be missed. RIP Mr. Corman. Your assignment, just read his body of
This flick might scratch a nostalgic itch for fans of low-budget horror. I got a forgettable outing that strikes early but can’t sustain its momentum. #jackmeatsflix
Fans of the Marvel universe may find enjoyment in seeing beloved characters unite, but be prepared for some disappointments along the way. #jackmeatsflix
Strap in and get ready for a wild ride. Almost forgot to move this review here, Oops. Fans of the previous flix rejoice. CAN YOU DIG IT! #jackmeatsflix
The first review on blogger.com is this lack of review and nothing else for a little over a decade before I started sending posts to it. #jackmeatsflix
