One of my “most-viewed” films, PREDATOR has spawned many a sequel. This post first ran in 2022. The sci-fi/horror film, Predator (1987), made a ton of money, got great reviews, and spawned a franchise that continues right up until today. It didn’t hurt that its cast...

The sequel to The Meg, alluded to in this post, was a disappointment, like so many sequels. I first presented this post in 2021. Okay, just to clarify, The Meg is a borderline Guilty Pleasure by virtue of its so-so reviews (one reviewer said, “…neither good enough, or...

Of the all the numerous 1950s sci-fi/horror/“big bug” movies, Tarantula (1955) stands out as one of the best. Its director, Jack Arnold, was among the leading filmmakers of the era, with hits such as It Came from Outer Space (1953), Creature from the Black Lagoon...

A creature feature that the critics liked? How rare. This post first ran in 2020. The 2019 creature feature/disaster flick, Crawl, is an anomaly. It did well at the box office, which is not that odd for the genre. But it also garnered its share of excellent reviews,...
