  • I will try to do this in my best Rod Serling voice, as it’s fitting for the new year: Imagine, if you will, a world upside down. A place where the laws of nature have been reversed, and the laws of man have gone out the window. That’s the nightmare one family finds themselves waking…

  • 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,…

  • Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Today, we have a spectacular gift for you in interview form. Warren Skeels, director, producer, and co-writer of The Man in the White Van, sat down with us to discuss the theatrical release of his feature debut. The film is a harrowing slow-burn thriller that pits a fantastic…

  • 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…

  • New parents will do anything to keep their babies safe from harm, but oh, the places our minds will go while imagining what is out there that could harm them. That’s the essence of Ryan Barton-Grimley’s new indie horror-thriller Listen Carefully, which sees one father’s nightmares become a reality when his daughter is kidnapped. The…

  • 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…

  • There is no shortage of religious horror films in the world these days, but anyone who once considered The Exorcist extreme could never have envisioned Pedro Cristiani’s monster hunter body-horror nightmare, Deus Irae. The title, which translates to “Wrath of God,” involves three former people of the cloth, a holy trinity if you will, of…

  • If you’ve read any of my reviews on this site, then it’s pretty apparent I have a sweet spot for microbudget, b-grade, and independent film. Any film with practical effects and a halfway decent idea has pretty much locked me in for its runtime. Cranked Up Films has been pumping out some really cool titles…

  • After Fixed Frequency, I thought the trajectory for Tales from the Void showed signs that the series would steadily rise as we approached the finale. But in episode three, Starlight, showrunners John Thomas Kelley and Francesco Loschiavo may have missed the mark and played their sardonic hand a little too sharply. Based on João André…
