Had it not already been taken, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” would have been a better title for Michael August’s second volume in the Scream series.

More accurately, major studios put a pause on big-budget slashers. In the meantime, indie filmmakers like Greg Huson kept […]

I love a big budget adventure just as much as the next gamer, but you’ve got to admit that the familiar mechanics and focus-group-tested level designs start to get stale after a while. That’s why I’m grateful for indie developers for providing us with unconventional experiences that you just don’t see in the AAA scene […]

While George A. Romero was able to parlay the success of Night of the Living Dead into a career in the film industry, co-writer John A. Russo never quite found his footing. Any filmmaker would be lucky to have a movie a fraction as impactful as Night of the Living Dead on their resume, but […]

Black Water is one of those rare instances where “based on true events” isn’t just a gratuitous tagline. The 2007 movie (later followed by an unrelated and more polished-looking sequel) is in fact inspired by an event from a few years earlier — near the Finniss River in the Northern Territory of Australia, two people […]
