"The Fuzzies" [2025]. Directed by Josh Funk. Starring Rocío de la Grana, Baylee Toney, Dustin Vaught, Gordy Cassel, Karen Leigh Sharp, Seph Casani.

Tubi: "Reunited at a late friend's eerie estate, childhood pals discover her beloved children's television puppets are alive and hunting them down."

The stop-motion, puppets, and practical special effects were cool. Also, a really neat house and set design. However, it was extremely slowly paced with not the best writing and not really a whole lot going on - yawn, was putting me to sleep less than thirty minutes in. I made it through, but unfortunately was not very entertained... bummer too, because I usually like macabre killer puppet flicks.

Recommendation:

"Mr. Crocket" [2024]. Directed by Brandon Espy. Starring Jerrika Hinton, Ayden Gavin, Kristolyn Lloyd, Alex Alomar Akpobome, Elvis Nolasco.

Hulu: "A single mother thinks she's found the key to calming her child down – a VHS copy of a strange children's program named Mr. Crocket's World. However, a darker, bloodier secret waits to invade their home from inside the tape."

The intro was awesome! Very cool practical special effects, blood, gore and props. Wild and crazy and so much fun! Like a ride on a morbid merry-go-round. Mom was rad - her son was a brat! A fairly original concept with a good backstory. Well written and performed. Quite enjoyable and entertaining! Like a twisted and warped "Pee-wee's Playhouse" (1986-1991) or "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" (1968-2001) with the macabre zaniness of "A Nightmare on Elm Street Parts 4 & 5" (1988, 1989).

"Grimcutty" [2022]. Directed by John William Ross. Starring Shannyn Sossamon, Sara Wolfkind, Usman Ally, Callan Farris, Tate Moore, Joel Ezra Hebner and Alona Tal.

Hulu: "A teen girl and her little brother must stop a terrifying internet meme."

Not the best writing, quite predictable, bad decisions merely to force the dull story forward. Felt sort of like a public service announcement for hysterical young parents and their easily influenced kids - a tad silly to be honest. The concept and content were just so uninteresting, unimportant and boring for me at my age - definitely for younger audiences, I would think. It is absolutely unfathomable to me, the obsession people have with needing to be on cell phones, internet and social media 24/7. Just unplug for a few days - what is the big deal?! Way too long and very slowly paced. However, the monster was kind of cool and creepy and seemed to be practical, for the most part - and there was a decent ending.

"Ladybug" [2024]. Directed by Tim Cruz. Starring Anthony Del Negro, Scout Taylor-Compton, Zachary Roozen, Lisa Thornhill, Cory Hart, Charlene Tilton, Nancy Stephens.

Tubi: "A bad breakup sends a hot new New York painter to a family cabin where a tryst with a local handyman turns into something otherworldly and sinister."

Have you ever watched a movie, and when it was done, you just didn't have much to say about it, not a lot of feelings either way? - That's how I felt about this. Was not horrible or excellent, just simply, was. A vapid and self-absorbed lead. Some of the dialogue was so cheesy and forcibly suggestive, it got a little tiresome and silly. Interesting enough, though fairly predictable. Very slowly paced. Unfortunately too, most the descriptions for this, totally ruin the entire plot twist. Displayed some neat works of art. The location was also cool, but gross, dirty, and run-down looking, even after it was cleaned up.

Recommendation:

"Umma" [2022]. Directed by Iris K. Shim. Starring Sandra Oh, Fivel Stewart, Dermot Mulroney, Odeya Rush, MeeWha Alana Lee, Tom Yi.

Hulu: "A woman's quiet farm life takes a terrifying turn when she becomes haunted by the remains of her estranged mother."

Subtle and creepy. Not too long, but a little slowly paced. Dramatic and emotional with good performances. A decently entertaining supernatural thriller.

The actor’s gift for garish eccentricity was indelibly appropriate for the outlandish, cross-dressing mad scientist Frank-N-Furter.

Recommendation:

"Appendage" [2023]. Directed by Anna Zlokovic. Starring Hadley Robinson, Kausar Mohammed, Brandon Mychal Smith, Desmin Borges, Emily Hampshire.

IMDb: "A young fashion designer's life spirals as her darkest inner thoughts manifest into something gruesome- that won't stop growing."

Interesting. The practical special makeup effects were very cool! Somewhat retro and silly at times. Well written with decent performances. Reminiscent of "Basket Case" (1982), "Doppelganger" (1993), and a bit of "The Substance" (2024), in a way - but all with its own unique angle. Fairly psychological and twisted with a couple really cool scenes. Quite fun and entertaining!

"Nightbitch" [2024]. Directed by Marielle Heller. Starring Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, Arleigh Snowden, Emmett Snowden, Zoë Chao, Mary Holland, Archana Rajan and Jessica Harper.

Hulu: "A woman pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her new domesticity takes a surreal turn."

Advertised as a comedy/horror, which it is more like a really emotional and dramatic mid-life crisis film, dealing with subject matter such as - what it is to be a woman, a wife, and a mother. Somewhat interesting and a bit humorous, but rather slowly paced. Definitely no real horror elements, more like a touch of fantasy escapism, if you will. Based on the novel by Rachel Yoder. Decent performances. Some rather heavy, but thought provoking conversations. A couple of cool, trippy scenes. Might be a little too different for some audiences though.

"Coyotes" [2025]. Directed by Colin Minihan. Starring Justin Long, Kate Bosworth, Mila Harris, Brittany Allen, Keir O'Donnell, Kevin Glynn, Katherine McNamara, Norma Nivia and Norbert Leo Butz.

Prime: "A family and their philandering neighbor living in the Hollywood Hills fight for their lives when a pack of coyotes attack for no apparent reason."

My big bro Tony was an executive and visual effects producer and VFX designer for this - only reason I checked it out. Vapid and shallow L.A. characters. The cartoon character introduction cards were unnecessary - like, why?! Writing was questionable. Fairly predictable. Painfully long and not funny. At least there was a decent body count - so that was a plus. When used, the practical special makeup effects were good, as well as some of the digital effects. A bit of an anti-climactic finale though. Unfortunately, not as entertaining as I had hoped.
