Horror & Shrill: Netfix

-
Welcome to my new section, Horror and Shrill where I recommend a horror film for weekend viewing from one of the streaming services available (Netflix, Shudder, Hulu and Amazon). 


Beyond the Gates (Netflix)

 Brothers Gordon (Graham Skipper) and John (Chase Williamson), who've let distance fracture their relationship are forced to come together in order to close their missing father's video store. While rummaging through old VHS tapes and reminiscing about their childhood, they stumble upon a board game entitled "Beyond the Gates" that could hold the clue to their father's disappearance, but that's if they can survive to the end of the game.

 I'd heard mixed reviews on this, but I gave it a go anyway and I wasn't disappointed that I did, and neither should you. It's got an 80's style vibe that I can totally relate too and the return of horror icon Barbara Crampton as the game's narrator, Evelyn, was a delightful bonus. The plot is not completely flawless and the special effects are a bit wonky, but it still has a charm that horror movies seem to miss. Overall, if you are looking for a horror film to shrill this weekend, Beyond the Gates is one movie you'll want to play!

 What are you watching this weekend? Let me know @horrorevilqueen

Horror & Shrill: Hulu/Amazon Prime

Welcome to Horror & Shrill where I recommend a horror film for weekend viewing from one of the available streaming services (Netflix, Shudder, Hulu and Amazon).  The Autopsy of Jane Doe  (available on both Hulu  (most have Showtime add-on and Amazon Prime ) Directed by Andre Ovredal, The Autopsy of Jane Doe weaves a clever and suspenseful supernatural story of father and son coroners, Tommy (Brian Cox) and Austin (Emile Hirsch). When a Jane Doe corpse that was found buried in the basement of a murder site is wheeled into their morgue, this arrival will make their night anything, but routine. As the night progresses, both father and son each experience unnerving horror as every slice and dissect of Jane Doe pulls them further into madness.  I honestly can't recommend this movie enough, it's absolutely one of my favorite horror films of 2017! It has earned the distinction of remaining on my permanent list of top 10 best horror films. Wh...

Kickstarter: Mixtape Massacre One of my guilty pleasures is playing games, especially board games. I have played all sorts of games, but being a huge horror fan I didn't really feel like their was a solid board game for my genre. Sure there are horror games out there if you are really into zombies (which I am), but how many times can you play Rick Grimes until you, yourself starts feeling like a zombie. Now it seems horror fans screams have been answered with Mixtape Massacre! If you love 80's horror and honestly what horror fan doesn't then this game is nostalgia wrapped up in a bloody good time! Developed by Bright Light Media, Mixtape Massacre is 2-6 player, tabletop game where you get to be the killer and with killers like The Legend, Sarah, Stitches, Smiley, Thorne, Prom Queen, Nightmare and Hatchling you and your horror friends will be fighting over who you get to be more than regular folks fight over being the dog in the Monolopy game. Once you choose your cha...
