After a month of April foolishness, I needed something more serious and with actual production values, so decided to take a look at John Carpenter's remake of the Village of the Damned, for the 30th anniversary of being released in theatres this week.

I like the look of these kids…

So I mentioned I like bad movies. Since 2009, I've been reviewing them for my site, Triskaidekafiles. It's little known, but if you enjoy cheesy cinema, you MIGHT have run across it. I have seen some absolute trash movies that bring much pain, but also some delightful obscure hidden gems that are so bad they're good. I don't shy away from some of the bigger names either, but that's not so much the focus of the site. You gotta drop in a Jason Voorhees every so often, just to get the attention of the normies. Come for the Hellraiser, stay for the Winterbeast. I do a full plot run down, and some fun facts if applicable, and then some final thoughts. If you're familiar with MST3K, Joe Bob Briggs, and other horror hosted programming, you kinda get the idea of what sort of vibe you are in for with me.

Just todaaaaaaayesterday, I posted my latest in depth look, which is a bit more fantasy than horror, but it's my site, I review what I want. It was filmed in the early 90s in the forests of Florida, for a budget of $2000 and is so clearly a bunch of friends with a love of D&D having fun and making a fantasy movie. I often say that some of the best movies are the ones made with genuine good intentions, and for some reason, their reach just exceeds their grasp, be it skill, time, or money. But, you can often tell they were trying, real effort was put in, and when it is, even in the worst made movies, that charm can come through. Passion can carry a movie a long way with me, and Way Bad Stone hits that sweet spot of trying really hard, but not quite succeeding, although this one does a much better job than most, IMO.

If you want to read my rambly thoughts you can check it out here, and feel free to dig around for the 500 other reviews I've done https://www.triskaidekafiles.com/reviews/2025/3/13/way-bad-stone-1991

But that's not all! I also did my own in depth look into Urban Legend for my site, and it's a nice companion piece to the podcast appearance, if you haven't had enough of my thoughts on the movie by now.

Sorry, this was supposed to be posted right next to the podcast link, but Goblin decided to not let me post for the rest of the day. 😂

I know it seemed like Trisk was done, but I decided to keep things going, and I have come back from the dead just like the zombie in my latest review, http://www.triskaidekafiles.com/reviews/2022/10/31/the-necro-files-1997

...Well, not JUST like, I'm less murdery. ANYways, check out my in depth look at this weird piece of late 90s sleaze. #NecroFiles #Triskaidekafiles #moviereviews
