Before I launch into telling you why you probably shouldn’t go see THE BYE BYE MAN, a few words about my attitude towards appreciating bad movies. Now I’m all for indulging in a preposterous film every now and again. I’ll take in a screening of THE INCREDIBLE MELTING...
Mike absolutely adored this film when he saw it at the Telluride Horror Show in 2016, and I swooned in a similar fashion at Fantastic Fest. This is why I can wait for the rest of the world to see the funny, beautiful, and visceral French horror film...
A new year, a new horror line-up. First up for 2017 is THE BYE BYE MAN. From the press release: People commit unthinkable acts every day. Time and again, we grapple to understand what drives a person to do such terrible things. But what if all of the...
We can all agree that 2016 was a dumpster fire of a year. With the embarrassing and hazardous presidential election results, and the mass exodus of our globe’s greatest musicians to the afterlife, this constant parade of cosmic nut-punching has left many of us feeling beaten. Looking for...
I cannot in good faith recommend PASSENGERS to anyone. It is terrible. It is terrible in the way that made me angry throughout the screening, and not terrible in the “so bad its good” way. That would have been wonderful. I could tell you to stay far away...

I swear you could spend every week of the year attending a genre film fest. What a time to be alive! While Americans are still crawling out of out Thanksgiving food comas, Monster Fest is well underway in Melbourne, Australia. Opening with the stellar French cannibal flick RAW...
There are certain patterns that we cinefiles accept. One of the most pervasive patterns is that of diminishing returns on horror sequels. As each SAW or PARANORMAL ACTIVITY gets released, we must adjust our expectations down a peg to avoid crushing disappointment.* Ever the cinematic optimist, I hoped...
Though I thought OUIJA was a steaming pile of shit, I am honestly looking forward to seeing what director Mike Flanagan does with the next one. If you are curious too, why not join me on Tuesday at a free screening of OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL? Here is...
I rarely hide my disdain for soulless Hollywood horror films. You know the type. The ones with cheap jumps scares, but no tension or actual terror built in to the film. The ones designed cheaply for a profitable opening weekends, only to be forgotten as soon as the...
We've got big mouths and bigger keyboards and we're using them to talk about the movies we love across all genres: horror, science fiction, action, martial arts, camp, cult films and more.
