Movies that depart from a genre’s norms are always refreshing in this series. I try to find films that, at their core, add to their category without blending into the crowd. I can usually find movies outside the standard procedure for their horror subcategory with relative ease, but I’ll admit that this month I hadn’t […]
Where most people might consider going to a bar or fancy restaurant and having drinks for their 21st birthday, I’ve elected to go see a movie I’ve been anticipating since 2014, through ups and downs and worries it might get cancelled. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is shaping up to be the movie I’ve been […]
This month, I wanted to find something absurd. Furthermore, I wanted to find something that wholeheartedly engages in its absurdity. I found that with much more ease than I would have imagined. Welcome to Willits is a ridiculous movie with a ridiculous presence, and is aware of this from beginning to end. Conspiracy theories are […]
It’s been a while since I’ve been late on a post. I really had my schedule down for a while there. All things considered, I did have a good excuse for my lateness, but apologies nonetheless. The usual post for this month (April) will be out on time. In spite of the current events of […]
I’m ready for horror again. I’ve been doing plenty creepy in this series in the last couple months with Bird Box and The Titan, but those movies were trying to tell me something. This month is the last stretch of winter, I’m feeling a little restless, and I’m ready for something gory and exciting. The […]
I have reviewed a criminally low amount of the “gruesome transformation” subgenre throughout my time with Netflix Dumpster Dive. Sure, I’ve done horror aplenty.

Happy New Year everyone, and welcome back to Netflix Dumpster Dive. It’s been a good year for us here, and I’m hoping next year will be even better. I decided that I wanted to pick something safe to kick off 2019, something that most people have seen, but maybe I could push others still on […]
After a long month of rest after frying my brain on slasher and horror movies, I’m ready for a change of pace. I might be an avid horror fan, but the gore and tension that Halloween brought on me wore my patience for another movie of the same brood out. So now, I’m back with […]
Halloween is my favorite time of the year. I can pretend that spending my time watching strange horror movies on Netflix is normal and healthy. The season is the reason, and all that. And, now I’ve got something more to look forward to every October. I started Netflix Dumpster Dive in 2016 on a whim, […]
Comic book adaptations are beloved for a number of reasons. They’re almost always summer hits or cult films, regardless of if they’re enjoyed or hate-watched. What these blockbuster titans mean to people now has evolved greatly, to the point where many “new” Marvel Comics fans were introduced to the comic world by the Marvel Cinematic […]
