Body Cam (2020) Mediocre supernatural thriller about a malevolent force targeting police officers and the one patrol cop (songstress Mary J. Blige) who begins to unravel the puzzle. I watched on Amazon Prime. Also on Hulu. How was it? |

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Love this movie. Delicious, exotic, sexy, great camera and FX work. Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins excel. Keanu Reeves does Keanu Reeves.
Frankenstein (1931)
The original. Still fine after countless viewings. Keeping in mind that Karloff is inventing the character that has been imitated and even lampooned many many times since, Karloff's work is first class. Love how they pull off quite a bit with a meager budget, making you see more than is really there. The first time I ever saw Frankenstein it was the Hays Code cut version. This was the uncut version. IMO the excision of the young girl being tossed in the water made it even worse. She died because the monster just wanted to see her as pretty as the flowers. Cutting from him reaching for her to his anxious stumbling through the woods leaves a totally different and darker impression. Boo Hays!
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
The even better sequel with beautiful young Elsa Lanchester as story teller Mary Shelley (and more). Colin Clive reprises his Dr. F role and performs credibly as does Karloff as the monster 2.0. But for my money the top scene stealers are the inimitable Ernest Thesiger as the delightfully crazy Dr. Pretorius and the equally delightful Una O’Connor.
Son of Frankenstein (1939)
Basil Rathbone, Bela Lugosi and Lionel Atwill do so much delicious hamming that they expanded this one to 99 minutes from the standard for the era 75 minute limit. Karloff is not given all that much to do to the point of playing a supporting role. But definite fun anyway.
Still got 5 more Frankenstein’s to watch.

Attack of the Murder Hornets (2020)
Not a horror movie, A real life horror. A while back I wrote about Asian Murder Hornets being found In the Pacific Northwest. The close to 2 inch bodies of these wasps (hornets are wasps) look like something out of a monster movie and they are seriously dangerous. The stinger is long and scary. A dozen or fewer stings can kill you and the venom will melt the flesh around the sting. The stinger can also spray, Wasps, unlike bees, can sting multiple times and also bite.
While definitely dangerous in themselves, this documentary from Discovery+ also tells of an even more serious danger. They kill honeybees. A few hundred will enter a honeybee nest and kill everyone (50 to 60 thousand) by cutting off their heads with their fearsome jaws and eating the inside of the thorax. The Asian honeybee has an instinctual defense mechanism. If a Murder Hornet enters a honeybee nest, dozens of them swarm around it dragging it outside and slowly cook it to death with their combined body heat. American honeybees do not know that trick.
Why do honeybees matter? Here is the real horror story. Honeybees are the primary mechanism of pollinating agricultural crops in the US. If the Murder Hornet spreads throughout the country, it could mean the end of most agriculture in America. Their nests are often underground and very hard to find. And they are dangerous to the finder. Their stingers can penetrate normal beekeeper gear. Special gear is needed.
I had to stop watching this twice. It was just that scary because it was so factually presented and REAL.

I watched on Amazon Prime. Also on Hulu. How was it? Um...mediocre. One or two well-done scenes of supernatural action (particularly when the force in question goes off in a convenience store) but the rest of it is pretty lifeless. |

Blood Moon (2021)
Not to be confused with, well, all the other things called 'Blood Moon,' this one is an entry in the Hulu series of horror movies Into the Dark.
"When Esme and her ten-year-old son, Luna move to a small desert town looking for a fresh start, they attract all the wrong kinds of attention. Esme must battle to protect her son and a terrifying secret before the next full moon reveals all."
With a name like Luna, three guesses what the full moon will reveal.
Not bad. A bit different than the usual werewolf stuff.
Not star Megalyn Echikunwoke's first encounter with shape-shifting characters, as she's been Vixen in DC's "Arrow-verse" on the CW and voiced the character in several animated and video-game projects.

Ghosts of War (2020)
Decent effort (mainly carried by the cast, I think) about a squad of US soldiers in France during World War II trying to hold a chateau against Nazis outside and a supernatural force inside.
Cast includes Brenton Thwaites, who is Dick Grayson/Nightwing on DC's Titans series on HBO, and Kyle Gallner and Alan Ritchson who both did their turns as DC superheros on Smallville. Billy "The Phantom" Zane also has a small part (to go along with his executive producer credit, I guess). Written and directed by Eric Bress of The Butterfly Effect and a couple of Final Destination sequels.
Never particularly scary and takes a hard swerve during the third act, but looks good and isn't an awful way to spend a dreary afternoon.
