As a hardcore horror fan, I watch a lot of bleak movies. In fact, before I saw FAQ, every film I watched at Fantasia this year was at least somewhat on the gloomier side. I just tend to gravitate towards these movies, but every once in a while, I want something a bit more lighthearted.…

What’s the best horror sequel of all time? Is it Evil Dead 2? Aliens? Bride of Frankenstein? Those are all great picks, but I’d like to throw another title into the conversation: A Quiet Place Part II. The jury is still out on whether it’s the best genre sequel of all time, but at the…

I often say that the werewolf subgenre is cursed. Other than a handful of classics, these films are extremely hit or miss, and that’s putting it lightly. For some reason, filmmakers just seem to have a hard time with these creatures. Finding a good werewolf movie is almost a cause for celebration. Hell, just finding…

I love sharks. I don’t ever want to meet one in person, but seeing them on my TV screen is always a fun experience. They’re just majestic creatures. It’s no surprise they’ve become horror staples almost on par with vampires and slashers. When done right, shark movies can rank right up there with the most…

I’m not a die-hard fan of sci-fi (although I do enjoy the genre), but I love sci-fi horror. Movies like Creature from the Black Lagoon, Alien, and Event Horizon are right up my alley, so when I heard about The A-Frame, I was instantly intrigued. The film’s Fantasia plot description didn’t give away too much,…

When WandaVision premiered on Disney Plus in 2021, it marked a new era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was the franchise’s first TV series, it was the beginning of what would later be named the Multiverse Saga, and it was the first MCU property to be released after the lost pandemic year of 2020.…

Like a lot of horror subgenres, home invasion films have the potential to get stale very quickly. We can only stomach so many The Strangers rip-offs before we start looking elsewhere for our homebound thrills, so whenever I hear about a home invasion movie with even a slight twist, it immediately catches my eye. That’s…

Oddity has been on my most-anticipated list ever since I first got wind of it. It was made by Damian McCarthy, the guy who burst onto the horror scene with the 2020 gem Caveat, and if you’ve seen that film, you know it’s one of the best and most inventive creepfests in recent memory. I…

When you walk into a film expecting it to be good, one of two things usually happens. Sometimes the movie will meet your expectations, and other times it’ll leave you sorely disappointed. But every once in a while, a film ends up being even better than you imagined, and Starve Acre was one of those…

Hype can be dangerous. Sure, it’s fun to look forward to a movie that’s supposed to be the best thing since Norman Bates turned a shower into a veritable abattoir, but if you let your expectations get out of control, you risk setting yourself up for disappointment. It’s a difficult balance to maintain, so I…
