I’m a sucker for a good anthology film. Give me a variety of scares with different monsters or directors. I don’t care. Fill it with gory effects, makeup, and strangeness, and count me in. I will admit to knowing nothing about The 100 Candles Game when the sequel, The Last Possession, was offered for review,…

I don’t know about anyone else, but I think we need a subgenre label for the growing number of paranormal documentary films. They’re branded as straight documentaries, but I think this is doing them a disservice. My first introduction to these films was during Covid, when the Kane Hodder led Balsam: A Paranormal Investigation was…

Being from the northeast, rain is common, and there’s nothing significant or ominous about having multiple storms in a day. However, if you’ve ever heard Albert Hammond sing about it, then you know “It Never Rains in Southern California.” But, when it does, it can be taken as a bad omen. That’s exactly where we…

There’s been a lot of discussion about the trolley problem recently. You know, the moral v. ethical quandary that has no black-and-white answer. A sort of Kobayashi Maru for my fellow Star Trek fans, where no matter the decision, loss is inevitable, and the true measure for examination is in the aftermath of events. The…

If you’d ever considered a world where slasher movies are real, have I got the film for you. A late 2024 entry, horror-comedy Bloody Axe Wound makes its way into theaters this weekend, and it’s a bloody good time worth the price of admission. The film takes place in the fictional location of Clover Falls,…

If you’re at all interested in Fried Barry director Ryan Kruger’s Street Trash remake, it’s likely because you have fond memories of the 1987 J. Michael Muro body horror B-movie. The original film had some incredible special effects of body melting and oozing as well as some jaw-dropping scenes like a man corroding into a…

On March 18, 2021, I received my first update for The Man in the White Van. Legion M (Mandy, Archenemy) announced the project using an amalgamation of scenes from previously released films to form a riveting concept trailer with a creepy, slowed-down cover version of The Turtles’ “Happy Together,” stitching the edit together with a…
