Posted on January 9, 2014 by Morgan R. Lewis

Even in the Morbid Curiosity Files, where the acknowledged purpose is to watch films that I expect to be bad, there are sometimes different viewing reasons that come into play. In the case of 2008’s The Spirit, it comes down … Continue reading →

Morbid Curiosity Files: Prisoners of the Lost Universe

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

I’m a fan of 1980s science fiction and fantasy films, and it has never bothered me that the bulk of them come with a large side of cheese. But I’m not blind to the faults of B-movies, and every so … Continue reading →

Morbid Curiosity Files: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure

Posted on December 17, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

The overlap between Christmas Cinema and the Morbid Curiosity Files is fairly small. Sure, Hallmark and Lifetime produce hundreds of “Christmas” movies every year that are nothing but saccharine romantic comedies and pedestrian musicals featuring people who never should have … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

Once again, Flixster has graced me with a free movie, and once again I could tell right from the beginning it was a case for the Morbid Curiosity Files. Pay It Forward is, in some sense, about karma, and receiving … Continue reading →
