From the snark-laden pen of Scott Telek, author of the acclaimed The Swithen series of Arthurian fiction, 33 humorous and insightful movie reviews in the horror genre. As fun to read as they are to watch—sometimes more so—Telek considers less whether a movie is “good” by mainstream standards and more whether it is interesting, thought provoking, individual and entertaining.

Culled from the beloved cult website he ran from 2005 to 2013, this collection contains reviews of all three versions of Carrie, both the 1943 Cat People and its even-better follow-up, Curse of the Cat People, as well as idiosyncratic movies lost to time, like Cameron’s Closet, Cannibal Apocalypse and Cemetery Man.

With a love for the individual and outrageous, these films hail from an era before cinema was flattened by committee filmmaking and straight-to-streaming banality, when a movie might be bad, but unique, and gloriously individual. Find something unusual to watch or just bask in an unabashed love of film, but whatever you do, get on in here.
