There’s no pretense with Crabs! It makes it abundantly clear upfront exactly what type of movie it is and the entertainment it aims to deliver. And it aims to be a low-brow horror-comedy that wears its influences on its sleeves, embracing a Troma-like spirit while saluting and lovingly spoofing beloved cult classics. Its precise type of manic […]

Having lived through the wave of games that inspired it, the first-person shooter revival represents an exciting time. It’s like having my youth remixed in new and exciting ways. The bare bones of what made shooters great in the 90s and early 2000s with some modern flair? Sign me up again and again. One of […]

Netflix’s Choose or Die draws heavy inspiration from A Nightmare on Elm Street in tone, style, visual references, and even voice-over by Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund. While its influences and retro 80’s video game horror conceit draw from the past, the teen horror movie wants to leave nostalgia in the past. It results in a breezy, fun gateway horror […]

Bloody Disgusting’s The Northman review is spoiler-free. “I will avenge you, Father. I will save you, Mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir.” The eponymous character repeats this mantra from childhood, immediately after witnessing tragedy, well into adulthood. It focuses his primal rage, directing his hate and tying his fate to a singular mission of revenge. The […]

All sorts of neat tricks have accentuated the horror experience on PS5 for me so far. The DualSense controller’s combination of speaker, adaptive triggers, and haptics being chief among them. The pulse headset adds further depth with its sublime 3D audio, but there’s something about the Razer Kaira Pro headset that really elevates horror gaming […]

Bloody Disgusting’s Morbius review is spoiler-free. Spider-Man: No Way Home opened up the multiverse and introduced the vast potential for crossovers and introductions to Spider-Man’s more horror-based rogues. It makes sense that Morbius comes hot on No Way Home‘s heels, and well ahead of the new Blade. The living vampire’s comic origins as an adversary to Spider-Man […]

Blazing Bit Games manages to stuff an awful lot into Nightmare Reaper. On the surface, it appears to be the latest in a growing procession of retro-inspired first-person shooters. Instead, it’s a delightfully bizarre fusion of that, a rogue-lite, mini-games, and looter shooter that goes to some interesting, if sometimes incoherent, places. After several years […]

This spoiler-free “Moon Knight” review is based on the first three episodes. The marketing behind the latest Marvel series arriving on Disney+ has promised an atypical, genre-bending introduction to a new superhero entering the MCU. It certainly helps that, outside of the comic realm, Moon Knight remains a lesser-known character, therefore a mystery. The talent behind the […]

Dinner parties always invite a recipe for disaster in horror. Or rather, dinner table etiquette tends to breed tension as social fears get exaggerated or exploited. Barbarians uses a cozy birthday dinner to mount social anxieties and pressures, but its slow simmer never quite reaches a boiling point thanks to a third act that pulls its punches. […]

In the five tracks that make up Absent In Body‘s debut record, Plague God, the band delivers music that is furiously spiritual. Its harshness is balanced by tranquil progressions that stir the mind – that lull listeners into a state where there is calm and storm. Made up of brilliant musicians, Absent In Body features […]

Depictions of mental illness are common in film, especially in the horror genre. They’ve become even more prevalent in recent years as filmmakers have used their work to aid in destigmatizing mental illness, but these films also come with tropes that we’ve seen many times before. Is our protagonist going crazy? Or is there something […]

In Bloody Disgusting’s Ghostwire: Tokyo review, we find comfort in the melancholy as well as the melodramatic of this Tokyo ghost story. Ghostwire: Tokyo is not the follow-up to The Evil Within 2 you might expect from Tango Gameworks. Yet it clearly shares in its predecessor’s DNA. It deals in the art of death, but […]
