‘Batman: Dark Patterns’ Harkens Back to Old-School Detective Stories With Haunting Style [Review]

Over at DC, there’s always a plethora of Batman books running at any given time. While I do love Batman and Detective Comics, the two flagship titles, sometimes they get caught up a bit too much in ever-shifting continuity for my taste.

Despite the filmmaker’s considerable talents and a novel concept for a nomadic style haunting, though, Øvredal’s latest winds up falling asleep at the wheel. After an […]

‘Filth Eaters’ Review – Ito Romo Packs Epic-Scaled Horror Into Intimate Vampire Novella

I’ve often said that the horror novella is the 85-minute movie of the horror lit world. The format, typically resulting in a story between 100 and 200 pages, is the perfect vehicle for compact, tense, brutal little stories that don’t overstay their welcome, and while it can serve many genres, it seems to serve horror […]

‘Morbid Metal’ Has the Means to Succeed as a Hack-and-Slash Roguelike [Early Access Impression]

Roguelikes seem to be the genre that benefits most from an Early Access release. The core gameplay loop and the various ways that it evolves throughout a run are so crucial to the success of this type of game, and it’s hard for developers to get a sense of how it will all play out […]

‘Death Ship’ 4K UHD Review: A Canucksploitation Classic Gets a Glow-Up

Sometimes I think that we genre fans who cling to cult and exploitation cinema and eagerly await new disc releases feel like the only audience for 4K restorations of, say, Canadian horror films from 1980. We might be the primary audience for things like a 4K restoration of Death Ship, complete with two new commentaries […]

‘Legacy of Kain: Ascendance’ Disappoints with Lackluster Return to Nosgoth [Review]

As someone who was in his mid-teens during the original Playstation era, Legacy of Kain was particularly up my alley. While Blood Omen was definitely in line with the edgy content I was looking for, the game that got its hooks in me was Soul Reaver. The more-than-25-year time gap since I last played the […]

One of the best horror premises is going back to your small hometown and slowly uncovering long-buried secrets. The potential for tying the town’s evils to your family history is apparent from the start, allowing everything to have more personal stakes. Small town citizens always have the best petty rivalries, which can be amplified by […]
