The Conjuring might be James Wan’s best haunted house movie, but Insidious could be his scariest. Stars: Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson.From death by a thousand paper cuts to downpours of blood rain, Cast a Deadly Spell is a unique mystical caper that’s having a blast living its goofiest gangster lifestyle. There’s commentary as the undead are used for hard labor and monster dynamics become social satire, but also tons of zaniness as gargoyles take nut shots as a cheap joke. It’s a batty 90s monster movie starring Fred Ward as Harry Philip Lovecraft (wink wink), a man who refuses to use magic in a world filled with zombies and creatures. Lovecraft meets a gumshoe detective noir. Stars: Fred Ward, David Warner, Julianne Moore, Clancy BrownĬast a Deadly Spell feels like Gremlins meets H.P. If I can have a blast with this movie, not even peeking through my hands, then you can too. Maybe the crude early 2000s animation makes it easier for me to laugh along as stealthy jumping spiders to a “tank” tarantula scamper around as these oversized monsters, channeling the likes of Them! Or Mosquito. Eight Legged Freaks is such a good B-movie that my dislike of arachnids isn’t enough to keep me from smiling as David Arquette and a cast of Arizona locals fight against chemically-boosted superspiders causing general havoc. I don’t love spiders much, but I love an outrageous B-movie.
