I had a crazy thought.

This Month of Horror is an annual thing for me. I don’t always make a whole month, but I try. And with each day I write a review.

Last year, on whim, I started rating the films using the system I use for the Sister Site, Welltun Cares Reviews. It felt pretty good, so I thought I’d do it again this year.

This isn’t crazy.

About four days ago I started making up a list of movies to watch. Why keep that to the last minute? Am I right or am I right? Might keep me from missing days if I had it all planned out ahead of time. Pretty brilliant, I thought.

And as I made the list, I realized I was doing all movies.

Welltun Cares Reviews was all movies. More or less.

Why–and I know this is a bizarre thought–but why not post the reviews on my review site?

Madness, I know.

The initial idea was post them as I finished, like I did here. Then the thunderclap came. Am I nuts? Every other review pops up on Fridays. I’ve been doing this for most the year. Why, therefore, should I post a review every day instead of scheduling them all as a massive buffer?

So that’s the plan. I review one movie a day for 31 days. That should give me thirty one weeks, plus four more weeks from Golden Oldie reviews I’d already set up in case I failed. A hell of a buffer.

Long enough so that I should be able to crank out my preferred longer reviews without fear.

So what does that mean for this site?

I still intend to talk about the films, but in a really, really abbreviated form. I see no point in spoiling my efforts on one site by posting on another.

So. Today’s feature was As Above, So Below, a 2014 flick. Another of my goals, I should add, is to put out more reviews of more current flicks. My opinion of modern Horror has been low, which has kept me from it. And as this film has proven, that’s a mistake.

It’s a good flick. Well written, very little fat. Found footage style, so if you have a beef with that subgenre you might have one here. I don’t care for it myself, but to be honest I’ve had a string of good luck with them so far and this continues the streak.

Last review spoiler: 3.5 points.
