Spend enough time charting the corners of any subgenre and you’ll quickly discover that not all entries are created equal.

Smile is a true rags-to-riches story of indie filmmaking. Parker Finn‘s short, Laura Hasn’t Slept, premiered at SXSW, where it won the Special Jury Award and caught the attention of Paramount.

Some critics believe that “cult movies” no longer exist.

Three years ago, following the lack of recognition at the Oscars for horror films, Trace Thurman and I created “The Hereditaries” (named after Toni Collette’s Hereditary omission), a series of horror awards to acknowledge all of the great work being done in the genre.

Despite being the most well-known cryptid, Bigfoot (or Sasquatch, yeti, skunk ape, et al.) has surprisingly few horror movies dedicated to it – and even fewer that are worth seeking out. After the infamous Patterson–Gimlin film purportedly captured footage of the creature in 1967, a spate of Bigfoot movies surfaced in the ’70s. Although not […]

Nestled at 7,800 feet above sea level in Estes Park, Colorado, The Stanley Hotel sits in the snowy mountains with an air of regality.

Much like Doom 2 was to Doom, how do you follow up the mega success that was Quake? The obvious answer was Quake II, but there’s a little more to it than that. Long-time id Software member John Romero had departed the company, along with many of the staff who had worked on the first […]

Godzilla was once a monster well suited for Cold War symbolism, but times changed. And as written in the book Japan’s Favorite Mon-star, author and film historian Steve Ryfle suggested “the breakup of the Soviet Union and the fading of the global nuclear threat” may have played a part in Toho’s drastic decision to kill […]

All Andrea wants this year for Christmas is a little peace. And after being the target of harassment for the last year, she deserves it.

I remember watching Stephen Sommer’s Van Helsing back when I was 10 years old and thinking to myself “I wish I could play a videogame that felt like this.” Naturally, a little while later I found myself inside a Blockbuster and ended up renting a copy of the PS2 tie-in game of the movie (yes, […]

HBO created the first adult animated series in 1997, but Spicy City, a dark cyberpunk anthology from Ralph Bakshi, has become a lost relic. Animation is one of the most versatile mediums of storytelling and over the past decade it’s been able to shake the restricting baggage that animated content is purely for younger audiences. […]

Well, it’s that time of the year. It’s the holidays! Bring on the short days, long nights, and bitter cold! Don’t forget the family dysfunction, either. No horror trilogy captures familial dysfunction quite like Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case Trilogy – the story of mild mannered Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) and his temperamental, hideously deformed twin […]
