My eyes are filled with wonder as we enter this new season of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. Many questions were raised in Season 1, while some were answered. Overall, Season 1 left me with the intense urge to continue into this series. Rather than just binging it all, I have stayed true to my…

I’m a sucker for cosmic horror. Whether it’s the tales of H. P. Lovecraft, cinematic adaptations of his stories, or original films like The Endless and Event Horizon, I simply can’t get enough of this stuff. The idea that we’re not nearly as powerful as we like to think is utterly fascinating to me, so…

Fans have been waiting for upwards of five years for the Adult Swim Anime adaptation of Uzumaki, Junji Ito’s horror Manga masterpiece. After some delays, fans were skeptical that it would ever find a release, and when it was announced that it would only be 4 short episodes (the manga is about 650 pages), fans stayed…

How far would a mother go to save her children? Horror movies have been asking and answering that question for decades, but none have done it quite like Little Bites. Most films use the tried-and-true trope of a woman who turns into a monster to keep her kids safe and/or healthy (or just alive!), but…

If there’s one thing we horror fans love, it’s franchises. We’re always super excited to see the next installment of our favorite film series, but most of the time, these sequels don’t live up to the hype. In fact, they usually get worse and worse, so by the time part six or seven rolls around,…

The restaurant business is in my blood. While I’ve never worked in a restaurant myself, my family has been in the industry since before I was born. My grandfather owned a great Italian place in Brooklyn, and several of my cousins have taken his recipes and opened up restaurants of their own. It’s almost like…

If 2023’s No One Will Save You proved anything, it’s that there is a market for originality in how we tell our stories. The straight-to-Hulu release of the Kaitlin Dever-led alien abduction movie was positively received overall and supported the idea that a great story can transcend dialogue. Now, almost exactly a year later, Channel…

I love monsters, and I love films about grief. So naturally, if you put those two together, I’m all in, and that’s exactly what drew me to Daddy’s Head. While I thought the name sounded a bit silly, the plot synopsis was intriguing as hell. It instantly caught my attention, so I just had to…

Found footage is a double-edged sword. When used well, the format can greatly enhance a movie, but it often ends up being little more than a tired gimmick. You simply never know what you’re going to get with these films, but in a paradoxical way, that’s what makes them so intriguing. The potential is always…

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…
