7Roulette :: October 2023

Part of this season's theme was stepping outside of our comfort zone, and with this year's set we've left that zone as a bloody crime scene with bad dialogue and shitty music; 7 movies that aren't exactly on our radar but incidentally defined the latter half of the decade, thanks to those delinquent Weinstein siblings and their meddlesome stepchild company Dimension Films. This was their label for movies that weren't nearly prestigious enough to have the glorified "Miramax" logo attached, and they rewrote, reshot, and recut most everything - that is until Scream came along and made some bank. This month's 7Roulette is a selection of seven movies that they not only distributed but actually produced, so you know this is quality entertainment, folks. There's some new ones on here for one or both of us, but with the distance they're all pretty fresh; we'll begin our marathon on Monday, October 23 and starting the 24th our reviews will commence. This time, terror comes from below. Waayyy below.
