More-or-less what you would expect although it does have a few flamboyant kills and doesn’t shy away from packing in gore. Numerous tongue-in-cheek film jokes abound for hardcore horror fans.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/popeyes-revenge-out-of-four-was-a-cardboard-sequel-to-last-years-cult-hit-popeye-the-slayer-man-this-time-everyones-favorite-spina/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:43:26+00:00“Popeye’s Revenge” (** out of four) was a cardboard sequel to last year’s cult hit “Popeye The Slayer Man”; this time, everyone’s favorite spinach champion (Steven Murphy” goes after a group of camp counselors (Emily Mogiliner, Connor Powles, Danielle Ronald, and others) who intend to re-open their summer camp on property that he deems his own. Unnecessary sequel to a movie that wasn’t great to begin with but having said that it has a few good kills and minor scares. Relatively well-made also on a low-budget considering it was filmed in only 9 dayshttps://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/amityville-rex-out-of-four-was-a-pitiful-horror-thriller-about-an-ancient-dinosaur-that-is-unleashed-in-you-guessed-it-the-town-of-amityville-and-a-priest-jeff-kirkendall-a/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:42:36+00:00“Amityville Rex” (* out of four) was a pitiful horror thriller about an ancient dinosaur that is unleashed in (you guessed it) the town of Amityville and a priest (Jeff Kirkendall), a cop (Tim Hatch) and an escaped fugitive (Maria DeLorenzo) all fervently try to hunt him down and send him back to the Jurassic ages where he belongs. Painfully lame attempt to cross-pollinate the “Jurassic Park” and “Amityville Horror” genres (hence the clever title). Wooden acting is unintentionally hilarious and some of the special effects look like claymation shots from a toy store! Recommended ONLY to those who thought the original “Jurassic Park” was overratedhttps://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/prank-night-out-of-four-was-an-abysmal-potboiler-about-a-young-woman-katherine-evans-who-seeks-brutal-revenge-on-the-group-of-thugs-chad-rook-hailey-foss-patrick-creery-and-others-who-s/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:42:00+00:00“Prank Night” (* out of four) was an abysmal potboiler about a young woman (Katherine Evans) who seeks brutal revenge on the group of thugs (Chad Rook, Hailey Foss, Patrick Creery, and others) who savagely attacked her family and left them for dead but finds that getting her hands bloody is a lot deadlier than she imagined. In-your-face unpleasantness combined with low-rent production makes this a chore to watch. For a more nonexploitive look at the same material, watch “Death Wish 2” or “The Brave One” instead. Rook is effectively creepy as the main villainhttps://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/she-likes-to-watch-out-of-four-an-almost-unwatchable-suspense-psychodrama-about-a-woman-stormi-maya-who-seeks-escape-from-a-hollow-relationship-and-becomes-involves-in-a-sexual-triad-with-a/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:41:35+00:00“She Likes To Watch” (* out of four) an almost unwatchable suspense psychodrama about a woman (Stormi Maya) who seeks escape from a hollow relationship and becomes involves in a sexual triad with a married couple (Kevin Gripper and Fancy Jones) but what initially seems alluring to her crosses the line into dangerous sexual obsession and fatal attraction. Ironically titled fiasco is unpleasant and unbelievable in equal measure and seems influenced by the worst aspects of early Adrian Lyne; a sexual triangle is hardly worth following when you don’t care about any of the three characters.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/daggers-inn-out-of-four-was-a-stilted-suspense-melodrama-about-the-arrival-of-an-enigmatic-young-woman-charlie-bond-in-the-english-countryside-which-results-in-the-var/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:40:44+00:00“Dagger’s Inn” (* out of four) was a stilted suspense melodrama about the arrival of an enigmatic young woman (Charlie Bond) in the English countryside which results in the various townsfolk (Terry Bamberger, Stuart D. Latham, and others) questioning themselves as she delves into their darkest secrets. Incredibly dull movie is made even more cheerless by dour-looking presentation and photography. A real bore, despite a game performance from Bond.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/the-box-in-the-attic-out-of-four-a-hollow-and-humdrum-horror-thriller-about-a-troubled-young-woman-kamryn-emory-who-returns-to-her-childhood-home-and-discovers-a-box-in-their/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:40:07+00:00“The Box In The Attic” (** out of four) a hollow and humdrum horror thriller about a troubled young woman (Kamryn Emory) who returns to her childhood home and discovers a box in their attic which unleashes (what else?) evil and malevolent spirits that overtake her sanity. Well-made and fairly well-acted but is enervatingly routine and predictable and as a result remains muted and uninvolving. Portentous and shadowy cinematography by Jason Henne is an undeniable highlight throughout.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/12/night-of-the-howling-out-of-four-was-a-horrendous-horror-show-about-a-city-in-the-terrifying-grip-of-a-serial-killer-who-only-kills-under-a-full-moon-a-world-weary-detective-ch/dlepikcomen2026-06-12T10:39:35+00:00“Night Of The Howling” (* out of four) was a horrendous horror show about a city in the terrifying grip of a serial killer who only kills under a full moon; a world-weary detective (Chris Heikka) begins to suspect that the killer is an otherworldly creature and he tries to draw it out to finish it off. Trust me, though, you’ll be much happier to finish off the movie instead which is a cheap-looking mess. Title is a clever ironic allusion to Joe Dante’s classic “The Howling” but this movie makes that (or any of it’s sequels) look like prime Hitchcock by comparison
