The line between horror and fantasy is fuzzy at best. The difference between these two genres is often a matter of emphasis and tone, so it should come as no surprise that I’m both a horror fanatic and a fantasy aficionado. I love everything from Ti West’s X trilogy to The Lord of the Rings,…

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.…

We’re nearing the end of Season 5 of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, and it’s been a hell of a ride. We’ve drilled into the Mesa, flown some drones, drilled into the Mesa, found evidence of an extinct species, drilled into the Mesa, fired some rockets, and even drilled into the Mesa! Every step forward…

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…

It’s always fun to be surprised by the return of characters you’d never thought you’d see again. While Hollywood hits are almost intrinsically positioned for sequels, indie films rarely have opportunities to follow up on what their protagonists have been up to. When I first saw the trailer for Vulcanizadora, I had no idea what Buzzard was…

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,…

Hey friends! Long time no talk. Since I don’t have cable, I relied on The History Channel website to upload episodes of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch at 3 A.M. EST. After Episode 5, they decided to paywall the rest. At that point, I had switched over to purchasing the episodes at 3 A.M. EST…

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.…
