January 25, 2024 Meagan Navarro Chris Nash, In a Violent Nature, Reviews, Shudder, Steven Kostanski, Sundance 2024

Writer/Director Chris Nash’s feature debut, In a Violent Nature, upends a straightforward Friday the 13th-inspired slasher concept by reframing the events almost entirely from the perspective of the undead killer. That’s not the only massive shift that sets Nash’s slasher apart from conventional fare. In a Violent Nature may offer slasher thrills and a delightfully gory rampage across the […]

‘The Seeding’ Review – Arthouse Horror Movie Gets Lost in the Desert

January 24, 2024 Meagan Navarro Reviews, The Seeding

‘Krazy House’ Sundance Review – A Grating Exercise in Empty Violence and Shock Value

January 22, 2024 Meagan Navarro Krazy House, Nick Frost, Reviews, Sundance 2024

The logline for writers/directors Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil’s Krazy House reads like the perfect gonzo midnighter for the horror crowd. The initial setup is meant to skewer the zaniness of ’90s sitcoms, complete with a live studio audience and aspect ratio to match. But that premise quickly goes off the rails, not in a good way, stretching […]
