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.…

It’s just one of those days. Cut my life into pieces. In the end, it doesn’t really matter… or does it? In this ongoing series, we take a look at the decadent, the depraved, and the downright visionary horror films of the late 90’s thru early 00’s that fall under the umbrella of what we’ve…

Like a lot of horror subgenres, home invasion films have the potential to get stale very quickly. We can only stomach so many The Strangers rip-offs before we start looking elsewhere for our homebound thrills, so whenever I hear about a home invasion movie with even a slight twist, it immediately catches my eye. That’s…

Oddity has been on my most-anticipated list ever since I first got wind of it. It was made by Damian McCarthy, the guy who burst onto the horror scene with the 2020 gem Caveat, and if you’ve seen that film, you know it’s one of the best and most inventive creepfests in recent memory. I…

When you walk into a film expecting it to be good, one of two things usually happens. Sometimes the movie will meet your expectations, and other times it’ll leave you sorely disappointed. But every once in a while, a film ends up being even better than you imagined, and Starve Acre was one of those…

Hype can be dangerous. Sure, it’s fun to look forward to a movie that’s supposed to be the best thing since Norman Bates turned a shower into a veritable abattoir, but if you let your expectations get out of control, you risk setting yourself up for disappointment. It’s a difficult balance to maintain, so I…

To prepare for the release of A Quiet Place: Day One, I revisited the previous two films in the franchise. I often do that when a new sequel or prequel comes out, but this time, I got a bit more out of these rewatches than I was expecting. They reminded me that A Quiet Place…
