Don’t Speak has a lot of blood and spiders and gore, and if you love that sort of thing, then step right up.Don’t Speak is Unrated but I would have to guess it would probably get a PG-13 for buckets of blood, people bleeding spiders while hung in cocoons, the body horror of having ball-bearing sized eggs laid under the skin, people running, people being torn open, people dying while choking on their own blood.
Movie Review – Netflix’s ‘Extraction’ is the rescue we need
Extraction doesn’t feel like a Netflix movie. There’s a decent story (as action movies go) and characters you can invest in and worry for if they’ll make it to the other side of their ordeal. Yet, we still get to indulge in the over-the-top violence. Extraction gives us both worlds in an effective dose worthy of a Friday night indulgence.

Movie Reelist is Chatting During ‘Bad Boys’
This week we are live screening Bad Boys, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. With the release of Bad Boys for Life on Blu-ray and DVD next Tuesday April 14th, 2020, we thought it’s be a great time to revisit the gem that started it all.
Movie Review – ‘A Wakefield Project’ gets a ‘fail to complete’
Movie Review – ‘The Alpha Test’ is one humans generally fail with thrilling results
The Alpha Test is a post-modern litmus test exploring human emotion evolution outpaced by humans’ ability to create things to catastrophically destroy themselves. The Alpha Test is unrated, call it PG-13 for swears, looooooots of blood, plenty of off-screen violence including people getting hit with crowbars, sprayed in the face with household chemicals, people getting stabbed with broken bottles, people being electrocuted, and a poor unfortunate soul being opened on the edge of a table like a beer bottle. Very satisfying.

Movie Reelist is Chatting During ‘Snowpiercer’
This week we are live screening Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer. This one stars Chris Evans, Tilda Swinson and Ed Harris in a nightmarish (action-packed) trip around the world in a race against a freezing planet. Why are we watching it??? I’m glad you asked! First, Bong Joon Ho absolutely dominated the Oscars this year with Parasite. Second, TNT is releasing their episodic series based on the material and with the same name, on Friday April 17th!
Movie Review – pass on the ‘Coffee & Kareem’
I think most people will agree that buddy cop movies in the vein of Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour make for some of the best comedy escapes in cinema. Coffee & Kareem, from the great folks at Netflix, attempts to bottle that recipe by pairing funnyman Ed Helms (the Coffee) with teenage newcomer Terrence Little Gardenhigh (the Kareem). This ain’t that film.
TV Series – Shudder’s ‘Cursed Films’ Episode 101: The Exorcist
For the mere price of a subscription, Shudder’s original documentary, Cursed Films, is well worth your time. These may not be telling some of us what we don’t already know, but hearing these set stories first hand adds academic legitimacy to the legends we’ve read all over the internet and collected in one place.
