Like most film fans, I don’t usually get excited when I hear that a classic movie is being remade, but Salem’s Lot was one of the rare exceptions. I just love Stephen King’s original novel so much I’m always happy to see a new take on it, and when I found out it was being…

We could take the time to discuss what has been happening on UFOTwitter over the past week, as we usually do. We could talk about how Ufologist Dr. Steven Greer and Lue Elizondo are coming at each other’s throats over something. Or how an author, who will remain unnamed, made a post that in the…

I’ve been on a bit of a folk horror kick lately. Soon after Severin Films announced a second volume of their acclaimed folk horror box set All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror, I decided to finally pull the trigger on volume one. I watched all 20 movies in the span of…

When you attend a film festival, you have to be selective about the movies you watch. There are usually so many options you can’t possibly see everything, so you have to decide which titles appeal to you the most. Sometimes a movie interests you because of the premise or the trailer, but other times, the…

Indonesian horror is on the rise. In fact, these past few years have given us so many awesome Indonesian genre films that whenever I hear about a new one, I’m instantly intrigued. This culture’s unique take on terror just really resonates with me, so naturally, when I first got wind of Respati, it instantly became…

Sleep has been on my radar for quite a while. I first got wind of it in the spring when a PR company sent me a list of their upcoming films for the next several months, and it sounded like it would be right up my alley. I’ve been keeping an eye out for this…

I have to be honest, I initially wasn’t planning on watching Ghost Killer. In fact, up until just a couple of days ago, the film wasn’t even on my radar. There are so many great movies at Fantastic Fest that some inevitably have to fall by the wayside, and this was slated to be one…

It’s not often that movies play at the same festival twice, but somehow, The Birthday has managed to do just that. The film had its first festival run about 20 years ago, and it even played at the inaugural Fantastic Fest back in 2005, but it quickly faded into oblivion. Thankfully though, a bootleg version…

I’m a big fan of meta-horror. Whether it’s classics like Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and Scream or more modern gems like The Cabin in the Woods and The Final Girls, I love horror movies that comment on the genre itself. So naturally, when I heard that the Indonesian flick The Draft! was a meta-horror comedy…

If you’re a hardcore horror fan, you know the name Alexandre Aja. Sure, not all of his movies are bangers (I’m looking at you, The Hills Have Eyes remake), but he’s definitely made a name for himself in the genre. I especially enjoy his 2019 animal-attack film Crawl, so when I heard he was back…
