The saw is family. Leatherface may be the face of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family, a horror icon, and a lethal enforcer, but he’s a family man at heart.

Oh boy. Munchies (1987) is…something. Produced by the beyond prolific and legendary Roger Corman and directed by Tina Hirsch, Munchies is a late 80s rip-off of Gremlins – one of the slew of similar films to follow in the wake of the 1984 Amblin classic.

A subset of killer doll horror movies features psychological horror movies where the doll remains an inanimate object throughout; any homicidal urges or personality are merely a projection by a fractured mind.

Looking at screenshots of Vampire Survivors, the first surprise breakout hit of 2022, it’s very easy to be completely confused by what you’re seeing. From a glance, you can clearly see the Castlevania inspiration dripping from every pixel, but that’s about it. Much like the bullet hells that inspire it, you can easily get lost […]
