If you want to get me interested in a movie, your best bet might be to pitch it to me as a Lovecraftian mystery. I find that kind of horror irresistible, so when I first heard about Delicate Arch, I was instantly intrigued. The plot synopsis I received was pretty vague, but it teased that…

I love the A Quiet Place franchise. I think the first film is one of the best horror movies of the 2010s, and in my opinion, A Quiet Place Part II is one of the best genre sequels of all time. So naturally, A Quiet Place: Day One was one of my most anticipated movies…

I went into Cold Blows the Wind the way I wish I could see every movie–almost completely blind. The plot synopsis and the trailer teased some vague, seemingly supernatural threats, but they didn’t reveal anything specific. I simply had no idea what I’d be in for with this film, and I found that uncertainty super…

You’d be hard-pressed to find a horror fan who’s all about made-for-TV movies. Hell, made-for-TV films don’t have a great reputation in any genre, but when they’re horror flicks, they face an additional hurdle. Unless they’re intended for a streaming service (an option that wasn’t around for most of cinematic history), they have to go…

I love horror anthologies. Whether it’s a classic like Creepshow or a newer gem like Southbound, I’m always up for watching one of these films. Sure, they’re usually more like cinematic fast food than masterpieces of complex storytelling, but that’s totally fine by me. I don’t mind trimming the fat and getting right to the…

I was not ready for “Kaiju No. 8 Captured.” Sure, this show has had emotional moments before, but it’s never given us anything like the sustained gut punch of this latest episode. It picks up right where “Secret Revealed” left off, with Kafka now being under the custody of the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, but he’s…

If The Exorcism has completely caught you by surprise, don’t worry. It doesn’t mean you’re out of the loop. The marketing for this film has been just about non-existent, so I’m sure even a lot of hardcore genre fans didn’t realize it was coming out. But it’s in theaters now, and as a huge fan…

If there was a hall of fame for horror films, Rosemary’s Baby would be a shoo-in. It’s on just about every list of the best genre movies ever made, and it’s not hard to see why. With a couple of Oscar-worthy performances, a chilling story, and just enough ambiguity to keep you on your toes,…

If there’s one thing I like more than a good vampire movie, it’s an unconventional film that deviates from the standard bloodsucking template. I can’t get enough of movies like Martin, Cronos, and Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, so it should come as no surprise that the name Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person was…

We knew from the very beginning of Kaiju No. 8 that Kafka’s Anti-Kaiju Defense Force comrades would eventually find out about his alter ego. It was in Crunchyroll’s description of the show when the first episode aired, and I’ve been waiting for that moment ever since. So when I heard that this latest installment was…
