Jon Abrahams is back, and this time he’s not dodging awkward in-laws, he’s dodging reality itself. In Fractured, filming this spring in Ohio, he stars as Arthur Thorne, a man whose anxiety is so tight it could snap a rib. Enter his therapist, Dr. Sharma (Felissa Rose, Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier 2), who apparently moonlights as…

I love Traditional Kung-Fu movies. I know this might put me in a minority of one, but I love everything about them. I love the pomp and circumstance. I love how they are steeped in Chinese Opera. I love how people are decent enough to stand around in the background of a fight, waiting for…

With acting more wooden than a forest, nighttime shots that just aren’t, a lobster from the local aquarium for a super imposed giant monster, and a Leader whose beard looks like it was glued to his face from a shagpile carpet and painted black with boot polish, Teenagers from Outer Space is a fucking laugh…

Dario Argento is a name that will forever be cherished by horror fans, and one film in particular seems to have captured the most black hearts: his 1977 classic Suspiria. Chances are, if you’ve only seen one Argento film, it will have been Suspiria. While receiving mixed reviews on release, it has since become critically…

Hellraiser doesn’t so much ease you in as it does drag you by your collar straight into a house where pleasure and pain have the same zip code, and the rent is overdue. Clive Barker’s vision is loud, wet, and unapologetically tactile: skin stretches, chains scrape, and every moment hints at something that will absolutely…

If Police Story is my idea of perfection in the genre of Action/Comedy, then Donnie Yen’s SPL (aka: Killzone) is the ultimate downer that is, somehow, also biblically good.​ Welcome to a world where the color palette is bruised kidney, the moral compass is spinning like a ceiling fan in a hurricane, and the only…

There are bad days at work and then there’s this. The Slasher Nurse is sharpening its instruments and staggering toward a March 27 release on The B Stream, dragging a body bag full of classic slasher energy behind it, and yes, it absolutely smells like cheap disinfectant and revenge. The setup? Oh, it’s the good…

Look, we’ve all had bad days. You catch your husband at a bar with a woman whose hair has more volume than your entire personality, you get gaslit by the local sheriff, and then, to top it all off, giant bald alien in a velvet tracksuit tries to steal your diamond necklace. It’s a lot.…

London, 1888. A city where the fog is thick enough to chew, the gin is basically paint thinner, and everyone seems to be one bad day away from either joining a cult or being dissected by a gentleman in a top hat. Welcome to the fucked up world of Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, the…

Listen up: if you want to understand what action cinema looked like before safety nets, digital doubles, and lawyers, watch Police Story. In 1985, Jackie Chan turned a Hong Kong shopping mall into a demolition zone and treated his own body like a crash-test dummy. What follows isn’t just action choreography, it’s controlled chaos performed…
