Being drenched constantly in the superhero genre gets old sometimes. This is especially true when one variety of superhero film in the MCU manages to strangle the market. We’ve seen the genre branch out and spawn films and shows that break the mold, however, especially recently with the likes of The Boys and Zack Snyder’s […]
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 […]
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. But, there is something interesting about someone losing their humanity for the greater good. It’s a tale as old as genetics. Playing God, inciting evolution (not how that works), advancing the […]
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, […]
Hello, and welcome back to Netflix Dumpster Dive! I can hardly believe it, but we’re a month away from the second anniversary of this series. Just like last year, I’m hoping to do something a little different and special for this anniversary. For now, though, we’ve got another usual review, of a Netflix Original once […]
Hello, and welcome back to Netflix Dumpster Dive. I’m on a pretty good streak here with posts, and it’s good to be back again, especially on such a high note. I had no idea what I was going to watch this time around. For the last few months I’ve been caught in this weird loop, […]
Hello, and welcome back to Netflix Dumpster Dive. It’s been a long couple months of editing my third book (check here, wink wink) and it feels like a great time for a change of pace, both in what I’m working on, and the type of movie we’ll be looking at. Yes, for once I decided, […]
Hello, and welcome back to Netflix Dumpster Dive. There almost wasn’t a new review this month, as I’ve been hard at work on the third installment of my Reyairan Spirits series (catalogued here if you’re interested) and some other side projects, and haven’t been watching too many movies in my spare time. Still, I wanted […]
