Last week, I wrote an article recommending five ghost movies every horror fan needs to check out, but that list was incomplete. I only looked at classic films from the 1940s to the 1980s, and as I’m sure you know, the subgenre has given us some absolute bangers in the 40 years since then. In…

Ghost movies are a staple of horror cinema. They’ve been around for decades, and from the looks of it, they’re not going away anytime soon. In the past few years, amazing films like The Black Phone, Deadstream, and Talk to Me have proven that audiences are as hungry as ever for this time-honored brand of…

I first got wind of Rita a few months ago, and ever since then, it’s been near the top of my to-watch list. In fact, I was dying to see this film before I knew anything about the plot. I heard it was made by the guy who directed and co-wrote the 2019 gem La…

If you ask a roomful of horror fans to name the first thing that comes to mind when you mention the phrase “zombie film,” a bunch of them are going to say George Romero, and for good reason. The guy’s 1968 debut Night of the Living Dead literally invented the modern zombie lore we all…

I’m a big fan of Anthony Mackie. The guy just exudes a cool charm and charisma whenever he’s on screen, so no matter how bad the rest of a film may be, he’s always an absolute joy to watch. Whether it’s silly B-movies like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, big-budget superhero blockbusters like Captain America: The…

I’m not going to lie, I went into Heretic cautiously optimistic. The movie promised a thrilling exploration of religious faith in a horrific key, and I found that equal parts enticing and concerning. See, I’m Catholic, and my background is in theology and philosophy, so I have a deep interest in these kinds of questions.…

Post-apocalyptic horror films are everywhere these days. Just this year, we’ve gotten Never Let Go, Arcadian, and A Quiet Place: Day One, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. These movies are as popular as ever, and while your mileage may vary, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sure, I don’t love every…

When someone mentions Beauty and the Beast, what comes to mind? For most people, it’s probably the animated film from the 1990s, but the story is actually much older than that. It’s a centuries-old fairy tale that’s been adapted for the big screen multiple times, and my personal favorite is the 1946 French version. But…

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the Venom movies are great. They’re not. They have all sorts of storytelling problems, but despite that, I still think they’re a ton of fun. I’ll always be a fan of this franchise, so when I heard Sony was making a third Venom film, I…

Whether you’re a longtime horror veteran or you just like to dip your toes in the genre every once in a while, I’m sure you’ve seen at least one film where a priest saves a helpless victim from a malicious demon. Ever since The Exorcist, exorcism, and specifically Catholic exorcism, has been a staple of…
