After over 100 years (Nosferatu was released in 1922!), you’d think vampire movies would have run themselves into the ground. (Or the coffin.) This long-running subgenre has given us traditional Dracula-esque stories, radical reimaginings a la Martin and Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, and even superhero flicks like Blade and Morbius, so filmmakers can’t possibly…

It’s no secret that slashers aren’t really my thing. By-the-numbers slice-and-dice films generally don’t excite me the way, say, stereotypical kaiju movies do. On the surface, Love Will Tear Us Apart might not seem like the kind of film I’d want to review. However, there are some exceptions. For example, I had a good time…

I know what some of you are probably thinking. A name like The Coffee Table doesn’t exactly send chills down your spine. If anything, it sounds like the film is going to put you to sleep, but this is actually one of the most intense cinematic experiences I’ve ever had. The press email described the…

I’ve been super excited for Arcadian ever since I first heard about it. It’s a monster movie with Nicolas Cage, and I don’t know about you, but that’s enough to get me on board. I love Nicolas Cage, and I’m a huge fan of monsters, so naturally, I figured this film would be right up…

I’m a big fan of folk horror. Whether it’s classics like The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General or modern gems like Midsommar and A Field in England, I’m always down to watch a film that puts a folksy twist on the horror genre. So naturally, when I first heard about All You Need Is Death,…

Good werewolf films are notoriously hard to find. Sure, there are a handful of diamonds in the rough, but they’re few and far between. For some reason, this subgenre is just awash in mediocrity, so I’ve been pretty down about it for the past several years. But when I first heard about Blackout, I felt…

I have to be honest, I can’t say I’ve been terribly excited for The First Omen. Sure, I love the original The Omen just like everyone else, but do we really need to know more about Damien’s backstory? I wasn’t convinced that we did. In fact, I was concerned that the movie might tell us…

I hate spiders. With a burning passion. I hate all bugs, but spiders are the worst. There’s just something about them that grosses me out in the worst way possible, so like any self-respecting arachnophobic horror fan, I’ve been dying to see Sting ever since I first heard about it. I couldn’t wait to confront…

What’s the measure of a good horror film? According to some people, it’s the killer Bs: blood, boobs, and F-bombs (that last one technically starts with an F, but you get the picture). In other words, horror movies need to be rated R, and if they’re just PG-13, there’s no point in even making them.…

I’ve been deliriously excited for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Not only am I a huge kaiju fanatic, but this film also features two of my favorite fictional characters of all time, so I couldn’t wait to see them team up to face a threat neither one could defeat alone. I bought a ticket…
