‘T.I.M.’ Review – A Predictable But Fun Evil Robot Movie Starring ‘Barbarian’ Actress Georgina Campbell

Paul Lê Eamon Farren, Georgina Campbell, Movies, Reviews, T.I.M.

From the sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey to the more recent horror hit M3GAN, genre entertainment has always found a way to make artificial intelligence feel dangerous. And as the latest movie to capitalize on AI anxiety, Spencer Brown‘s T.I.M. goes down a familiar path. Barbarian star Georgina Campbell eventually falls victim to something originally […]

Geof Capodanno Fatal Games, Home Video, Movies, Reviews, Vinegar Syndrome

Just when you think you’ve seen every 1980s slasher flick, Vinegar Syndrome humbles you by unearthing yet another low-budget horror film lost in time and space, this time with 1984’s Fatal Games (originally titled The Killing Touch). Fatal Games is the story of Olympic-hopeful medalists being systematically picked off one-by-one at the Falcon Academy, the […]

‘Night Swim’ Review – High Concept Swimming Pool Horror Movie Struggles to Stay Afloat

Meagan Navarro Bryce McGuire, Kerry Condon, Night Swim, Reviews, Wyatt Russell

Expanding a horror short to feature length is tricky work, particularly when the short in question gets straight to the scares. Writer/Director Bryce McGuire’s 2014 short Night Swim, a collaboration with Rod Blackhurst, cut straight to the horror to exploit everyone’s worst fears about swimming pools. Almost a full decade later, McGuire’s feature expansion showcases more ways to […]

“Lot No. 249” Review – “A Ghost Story for Christmas” Returns with Fun Mummy Horror

Paul Lê A Ghost Story for Christmas, kit harrington, Lot No 249, Mark Gatiss, Reviews, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, TV

Mark Gatiss’ revival of A Ghost Story for Christmas, a British strand of one-off specials infrequently aired around the holidays since 1971, continues with what is possibly its best entry yet: Lot No. 249. The League of Gentlemen alum has maintained a substantial interest in horror, much like comrades Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, but […]

‘Undying’ Review: Indie Zombie Game Is a Bit Too Rough Around the Edges

Thomas Wilde Reviews, Undying, Video Games

Undying has been in Steam Early Access for the last 2 years, but still doesn’t feel like it’s done. The final version of the game, which arrived on Steam earlier this month, is still distinctly rough around the edges. If this is supposed to be the complete version of Undying, I have to figure that […]

‘The Monster Squad’ 4K Review – Kino Lorber Upgrades Fan Favorite ’80s Movie for a New Generation

Alex DiVincenzo Fred Dekker, Home Video, Kino Lorber, Movies, Reviews, The Monster Squad

With a love of cinema woven into its DNA, The Monster Squad helped indoctrinate ’80s kids to the classic monsters. The generation that grew up watching it on home video and HBO look back on the 1987 film with the same reverence director Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps, RoboCop 3) had for the Universal […]

‘Santa Isn’t Real’ Review – Latest Christmas Horror Movie Fails to Make the Season Bright

Matt Donato Movies, Reviews, Santa Isn't Real

Between Thanksgiving and It’s a Wonderful Knife, it’s been an especially rewarding year for seasonal slasher fans, an esteemed group that Santa Isn’t Real does not join. Writer and director Zac Locke’s low-budget Christmas massacre barely has a pulse until the final few minutes, only thanks to a few teaspoons of gore. Performances are stiff, […]

‘Poor Things’ Review – Yorgos Lanthimos’ Frankenstein-Like Tale Celebrates the Magic of Curiosity

Meagan Navarro Emma Stone, Poor Things, Reviews, Yorgos Lanthimos

In Yorgos Lanthimos‘ comedic and fantastical Poor Things, an adaptation of Alisdair Gray’s novel, the mad scientist does what Dr. Frankenstein never dared to do: he lets his creation free out into the world instead of seeking to kill it. It’s not fear that drives this decision but love, and it sets the tone for a dazzling, bizarre, […]

‘Lord of Misrule’ Review – Atmospheric Folk Horror Movie Follows a Well-Trodden Path

Meagan Navarro lord of misrule, Movies, Ralph Ineson, Reviews, William Brent Bell

Filmmaker William Brent Bell‘s latest, Lord of Misrule, bears all the familiar earmarks of folk horror. A peculiar town with Pagan roots, bonfires, masked denizens reveling in harvest rituals, and a pious Christian at the center, scrambling to make sense of it all. It’s that well-trodden but visually lush path that serves as refreshing misdirection in a new […]

‘Loop Track’ Review – Slow Burning Outdoors Horror Movie Is Worth the Hike

Paul Lê Loop Track, Movies, Reviews

A walk in the woods tends to spell trouble for horror movie characters, and Loop Track is no exception to this unspoken genre rule. However, despite its overused setup, Tom Sainsbury‘s directorial debut — a long feature seven years in the making — manages to feel fresh. Its innovation doesn’t so much lie in the story […]

‘Don’t Suck’ Review – Vampire Horror-Comedy Is Soulless and Uninspired

Matt Donato Don't Suck, Movies, Reviews

It’s a shame Don’t Suck doesn’t take its own advice [comic rimshot]. Sorry, are you not a fan of plucking low-hanging fruit? Don’t expect anything more from RJ Collins’ soulless vampire standup horror comedy that tries to manufacture edginess with faceplant jokes about Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein in the first however many […]

‘Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion’ Review – An Exceptional Remaster of a Nintendo 64 Classic

Reyna Cervantes Reviews, Turok, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, Video Games

Truth be told, this is a review I never expected to write. The Turok series has been long dormant since the Xbox 360 era and even then that wasn’t its prime. No, Turok found its footing on the Nintendo 64 in a post-Goldeneye world. An era where developers realized that first person shooters could escape […]

‘Godzilla Minus One’ Review -Toho’s Latest Raises the Bar for Godzilla Movies and Kaiju Cinema

Matt Donato featured, Godzilla, Godzilla: Minus One, Movies, Reviews, topnews

Godzilla Minus One is a blessing to Toho’s kaiju franchise and a towering accomplishment for the entire kaiju subgenre. Director and writer Takashi Yamazaki respects the balance between monster mashes and human perspectives, unlike our blockbuster domestic efforts, which oftentimes lean toward larger-than-life action thrills (although Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is off to […]

‘Everyone Will Burn’ Review – A Vibrant, Violent Fable of Biblical Prophecy and Religious Mania

Meagan Navarro Everyone Will Burn, news, Reviews

The familiar proverb “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” comes to mind in director David Hebrero‘s Everyone Will Burn, a stunning technicolor horror fable set in contemporary Spain. A small town’s attempts to thwart an apocalyptic prophecy instead unwittingly fester over forty years before the film’s events, creating seismic repercussions in the present. Hebrero, […]

‘The Mist’ 4K Ultra HD Review – Frank Darabont Mastered the Art of the Stephen King Movie

Alex DiVincenzo Home Video, Movies, Reviews, The Mist

Stephen King adaptations have always been hit and miss. Before Mike Flanagan came along, there was one filmmaker who could always be trusted with King’s material: Frank Darabont, whose first foray into filmmaking was a short adaptation of “The Woman in the Room.” After making a name for himself as a screenwriter with the likes […]
