I’m not going to lie and tell you that I’ve been anxiously looking forward to Tarot. Like every other horror fan, I thought this movie looked like the worst kind of generic genre drivel, so I went into it with just about the lowest expectations possible. In fact, I was basically dreading the experience, so…

I’ve had my eye on Mind Body Spirit for a while now. I first heard about the film when it was making its festival run several months ago, and I thought both the premise and the trailer were pretty intriguing. I really wanted to check this movie out, so when I learned that I’d be…

As a horror movie critic, I’m pretty plugged into the horror world. I know about most of the new genre releases, whether they’re big theatrical films or smaller VOD movies, so it’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a title that completely slipped through the cracks for me. It’s one of my favorite things…

How do you follow up two amazing episodes of a new TV show? It’s pretty easy, actually. You make an amazing third episode, and if you don’t believe me, just ask the people behind Kaiju No. 8. They faced that same dilemma, and wouldn’t you know, they did exactly what I suggested. I’m kidding of…

In the horror world, the Cronenberg name carries weight. David Cronenberg has been the godfather of body horror for about four decades, and in recent years, his son Brandon has proven himself to be one of the most exciting filmmakers in the genre today. They’ve created a veritable family dynasty. When news broke that David’s…

If you’re a hardcore horror fan but you haven’t delved into Indonesian horror, you need to remedy that. Right now. Indonesia may not have the same reputation as its neighbors Japan and Korea, but the country has given us some of the best under-the-radar genre flicks of the past few years, like Satan’s Slaves, Impetigore,…

It’s been a long week. After an amazing first episode, I couldn’t wait for the next installment of Kaiju No. 8, and when it finally became available, I made a point to watch it as soon as I got the chance. I was curious to see if the second episode would continue Kafka’s story with…

Bigfoot holds a special place in my heart. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by all things mysterious and paranormal, and cryptids were a big part of that. I read everything I could find about creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, and while that obsession has since waned, I still find…

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…
