THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR is the HALLOWEEN III of giallo. A movie that you go into expecting one thing and get upset when it delivers something totally different, yet brilliant. Think about it. You know I'm right.

You know how that one scene in CABIN IN THE WOODS makes the horror fan in you say "OMG! OMG! OMG!" right? READY PLAYER ONE does that for the movie lovin*, video game playin, toy collecting kid in you. This movie is a love letter to nostalgia. If you were ever a kid, go see it.

*That kid also loves horror and will freak out during this movie as well.

I know this movie has a bad reputation, but it needs another look by those who have snubbed this Myers-less entry. Scream Factory presents us with a fine widescreen transfer and great sound to give people a fairly inexpensive purchase for October 31st. Erase Michael Myers for your memory for 98 minutes. See the movie as a scary Halloween story and not as “that one Halloween that doesn’t count.”

If I ever find a huge butthole inside of a lighthouse, I promise to not climb inside.
