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…

It’s a difficult balance to maintain, so I…

To prepare for the release of A Quiet Place: Day One, I revisited the previous two films in the franchise. I often do that when a new sequel or prequel comes out, but this time, I got a bit more out of these rewatches than I was expecting. They reminded me that A Quiet Place…

When Ti West made X back in 2022, the film was a welcome return to the genre that put him on the map, but nobody expected it to turn into a franchise. However, as I’m sure you know, we all turned out to be completely wrong. West is now capping off the X trilogy with…

Season finales are always tricky. A show has to wrap things up while still allowing the story to continue, leaving very little room for error. It’s a storytelling Scylla and Charybdis that’s wrecked many a series, so even though I’ve loved Kaiju No. 8 so far, I went into this latest episode with some trepidation.…
