It’s been a minute since Shudder unleashed a new scripted series on us (not since The Creep Tapes in November, I think), and Hell Motel seemed to have come out of left field at us this month. Honestly, if it weren’t for the creepy poster of a horned masked figure standing behind a motel counter,…

Twenty-six years ago, Hollywood stars Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt, and Brendan Gleeson jumped into a lake in Maine to hunt a crocodile. With a Jaws formula, creepy nesting locations, and good direction, Steve Miner’s Lake Placid scared up some summer fun back in the summer of 1999. Though gators and crocs have slight…

Mark O’Connor is no stranger to exploring the dark, grimy underworld of Dublin’s streets. In fact, he’s made a bit of a name for himself through films like Cardboard Gangsters and Between the Canals by doing exactly that. O’Connor adds to his collection of gritty crime dramas with the release of Amongst the Wolves, which…

Jason Trost is the best kind of genre filmmaker, making films that fans can get excited for in a multitude of ways. While his acting credits include many background roles in notable studio flicks (Scream 2, Rushmore, Crank 2, MacGruber, Hatchet III, Studio 666) he has used his directorial prowess to blend elements from the…

Best Wishes to All is the deeply unsettling and disturbing gut-punch of a film we all need right now, and that’s not hyperbole. I first saw Yûta Shimotsu’s film, based on his short of the same name, at the Boston Underground Film Festival a couple of months back, and I left the theater stunned at…

When news of The Ritual, a possession thriller from The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain director David Midell, was announced last year, my ears perked up hearing that Al Pacino and Dan Stevens would be sharing the horror movie spotlight. Stevens has been a genre film favorite, taking on an array of roles just last year, including Godzilla…

Vertical Entertainment has really beefed up their film slate for 2025. Earlier this year, The Damned whisked us away to an isolated island of terror, then Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista got all western-fantasy in In the Lost Lands, and just last month, Josh Hartnett went all John Wick on a plane in Fight or…

Train to Busan’s breakout badass Don Lee (aka Ma Dong-Seok) continues his action movie hot streak, following up his fourth Roundup franchise film (four more are on the way) with Holy Night: Demon Hunters. A rough and tumble brawler flick with a bit of a genre kick. Lee plays Ba Woo, a niche private investigator endowed…

Indie horror projects often surprise me with the level of creative ingenuity on display. Many of these movies get overlooked by the broad majority of movie enthusiasts, but we–the Tubi hunters and physical media bargain bin super-divers of the genre—know there are more than a few diamonds in the rough just looking to be found…
