The Time of Their Lives (DVD) – A fun Abbott and Costello film from 1946 where they don’t play as the duo like they did in most films and also one I never had the pleasure of watching. For the duo this is an odd but interesting ghost flick as Costello plays a character who dies during the Revolutionary War who was trying to help a woman tell people about Benedict Arnold, others, and their plans. The two are shot then thrown into a well at a mansion only to be believed as traitors so their spirits won’t rest. Abbott actually plays the real traitor during the war then his great great grandson shows up again in 1946 at said mansion. The ghosts haunt and will always be considered traitors until they can prove otherwise. Wonderful paranormal film to introduce young viewers too but also the fun of Abbott and Costello as I give this piece of entertainment from yesteryear 3 stars.

On the Edge (YouTube) – Mr. Brocklehurst from across the pond is back at it again with another short film that deals with a man on the edge of sanity. As usual this short film will make you think as this kind gentleman has the ability to churn out great stuff that is outside of the box of usual short films as I give it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.

The Monsters Among Us (DVD) – A super underrated filmmaker Jason Burke is back at it again with his latest effort taking place at Halloween and horror fans this project is quite a treat! Actually a very simple premise of a couple exchanging traditions of Halloween and the repercussions of what happens when you don’t follow them. Again this project is simple, well shot, but most importantly the chemistry between the couple makes this excellent scare work as I give this short film 4 out of 4 stars.

Lifeform Phase One (Tubi) – Yes folks I was giving another Dustin Ferguson project a chance but as usual I came away disappointed. The film is set in 2030 where scientists have discovered an organism deep in space but it escapes to earth to kill people in the woods of L.A. I would be down for the creature called Violentus and all the AI if it didn’t only fill about 12 minutes of the 46 minute running time. But when most of the other time is used for credits and a beginning roll of story that tells you exactly what happens you do find yourself asking “why did I watch this?” I could be mean and I am sure many critics have been but I feel the best thing to say here is I am just disappointed in Mr. Ferguson as he claims to have all these resources to make movies now as I give it 0 stars.

Sting of Death (Tubi) – Who knew? A killer jellyfish movie made in Florida from 1966… kind of. A marine biologist is working hard on his research in Florida on jellyfish only to have his daughter showing up to have a college party at his resort. Time that with missing fishermen and an assistant who is scared but hellbent on proving everyone wrong you get a weird mix of beach party bingo meeting a creature… sort of with a wild Scooby-Doo style ending! This was a wonderful find as this feels like one those flicks that were just made for the drive-in as I give this 2 stars.

Gone with the Witch (DVD) – This Indy chaos comes from the mind of Damon Foster who has a history of making offbeat horror films if that makes sense. Twenty minutes of this would have been just fine, but 90 minutes makes you wonder if it is time to try shrooms while watching this long lost episode of Saturday morning television from the early 90s that is literally a mish mash of everything. The story is somewhat about bootleg Joan Jett aka Siouxsie Nikki Jett who is looking for a roommate. But between her getting a magical wand and her love for Turkish rip-offs it sets up for a headache of flying monkeys, bad fights in front of a green screen, random knowledge of Turkish movies, telepathic abilities, as nothing is off limits. The movie feels it beats you over the head with weirdness instead of allowing you to be invited in for the adventure as I can only give this 1 out of 4 stars.
