If you've seen the original Street Trash, you're already familiar with its student film vibe, basically absent plot and awesome over-the-top gore effects where people are literally reduced to liquified puddles of neon colored goo. It's not for everyone, but fans of gory horror movies and Troma-style guerilla filmmaking can appreciate it setting out and successfully creating something original.
Street Trash (2024) from director Ryan Krueger taps into that appeal and delivers a more polished, cinematic take - with loads of gushing gore FX. And while it feels like a bigger, more well produced vision of Street Trash, it still feels like it was spawned from that same universe where humans inexplicably bleed bright maroon and neon green blood. There are more than a few scenes that outdo the original's grossness.
It's a lot of fun and highly recommended for all fans of Street Trash.

I watched The Devil Strikes at Night after browsing Son of Dracula director Robert Siodmak's IMDB credits and reading the film's extremely interesting synopsis.
Disillusioned German detective Axel Kersten investigates the identity of a serial killer who possesses the incredible strength of shattering the tiny u-shaped throat bone in his roughly 80 female victims.
Axel initially finds the full support of the Nazis, until the findings of his investigation threaten public perception of Hitler's SS. What could have been a more straightforward movie about a serial killer during Nazi Germany turns into a story about how quickly the lines of culpability can become blurred in such a bleak place as Germany towards the end of World War II. It's a great movie with excellent performances that really holds your attention for its two-hour runtime of reading subtitles.
It blew my mind to learn after watching The Devil Strikes at Night that it's story was loosely based on real-life serial killer Bruno Lüdke who shares his name with the character in the film.

Haunting of the Queen Mary's trailer and premise of a ghost story set on the real historic Queen Mary vessel immediately intrigued me, but I almost skipped this one entirely after seeing its dreadful IMDB rating. I'm glad I didn't as Haunting of the Queen Mary is a surpringly good and effectively scary horror film set aboard the real-life Queen Mary ocean liner that despite its straight-to-video-on-demand release feels like a big budget Hollywood blockbuster.
While the story becomes a bit incoherent in the second half, the stunning visuals - set during both the ships operation in the 30s and present day - brutal violence and pace make this one of the more enjoyable horrors of 2023. It is definitely one of the better ghost ship movies right up there with Val Lewton's The Ghost Ship from 1943. Give it a shot if you dig historically-themed ghost stories.
