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…

Welcome back, fellow ranchers! Firstly, thanks for the incredibly warm response to last week’s coverage! Many of you, including me, were [im]patiently waiting for Dr. Travis Taylor and his team of intrepid researchers to make it back to Skinwalker Ranch and get back to firing rockets and setting off drones. There were a handful of…

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…

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…

Bring Her Back is the second feature film from Directors Danny and Michael Philippou, following their 2022 hit debut, Talk to Me. The latter film received worldwide acclaim, grossing $92 million against a budget of $4.5 million, and became A24’s highest-grossing film to date.

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…
