    Not sure what we did to please the Gods, but on top of the new season of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, we have a new season of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch!! This came as a complete surprise to me. I was at the bar last Friday, destroying my girlfriend in a game of…

  • 28 Years Later Meditates on Compassion and Death

    I went to see 28 Years Later expecting to see a film that rested tonally between the first two installments of its series. The director and screenwriter duo from the original entry in the series, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, respectively, have returned. I fully assumed to see a nasty, horror-filled world nearly devoid of…

  • CFF25: Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma is a Looney Tunes Revenge Fantasy on Steroids

    We’ve all been scammed in one way or another. The internet is quickly replacing the bad places and dark alleys we were always told to avoid as kids.

  • Pins and Needles is ‘Don’t Breathe’ inside Patrick Bateman’s House

    Back in 2020, James Villeneuve was a name I made note of. I was watching Vicious Fun on Shudder and loved every minute of it.

  • The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: Smoke It Out (S6E3)

    Welcome back! Fret not, I have no intention to follow up on last week’s soapbox-stood verbal lashing. Two very interesting things happened in Ufology over the past week, and I only really care to talk about one of them. (The one is that Steven Greenstreet interviewed a senior Pentagon official who stated they faked UFO…

  • I Took the Bait on ‘Gator Lake’

    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.

  • Amongst the Wolves’ Gritty Take Boasts Great Performances But Feels Familiar

    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…

  • The Waves of Madness is A Kick-Ass Love Letter To Lovecraft and Video Games

    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…

  • The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: The Drone Zone (S6E2)

    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…
