  • Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958): Revenge, Radiation, and Really Bad Marriages

    Look, weโ€™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. Itโ€™s a lot.…

  • Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971): Glands, Gowns, and Gentlemen in Top Hats

    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…

  • Aliens (1986): The Perfect Sequel

    In 1986, James Cameron took Ridley Scottโ€™s slow-burning nightmare and turned it into something louder, meaner, and infinitely more dangerous. Aliens didnโ€™t just continue the story of the xenomorph, it escalated it. The lonely terror of a haunted freighter became a full-scale war in the dark, where pulse rifles rattle through steel corridors and motion…

  • Dragn Shows That AI Will Kill Us All Given the Chance

    Well, I guess it’s inevitable. Once A.I takes over the world, we’ll all be on the chopping block. So, you can imagine my utter delight when the trailer for Dragn dropped, suggesting that the end might be closer than we think. At least, it is for these happy campers. In a team building exercise gone…

  • Dead by Dawn Brings Cosmic Horror Slasher to Digital

    Slasher movies are great, aren’t they? There’s nothing more satisfying than spending an evening watching people get chopped up into hamburger meat in new and inventive ways, don’t you think? Well, what if you threw a little Cosmic Horror into the mix? The answer to that question can be seen here in the new trailer…

  • Thrash Takes a Bite Out of Netflix

    If being trapped in a category five hurricane wasn’t bad enough, Netflix decides that the cast of Thrash needs even more peril and adds a healthy does of shark attacks to their upcoming release.

  • SAW (2004): Trapped, Tortured, and Totally Unforgiving

    That scream. I’d forgotten about that scream. The one where a man’s soul seems to have been wrenched from his body as the realisation of what has just happened hits him square in the face. The door slams. Then utter blackness. The credits start to roll, and underneath it all, there is still that scream.…

  • Zazie Beetz Murders The Shit Out of Everyone in They Will Kill You

    There’s a moment in the new trailer for They Will Kill You where one of the characters says: “Come on guys, it’s just one girl.” It just so happens that his one girl is Zazie Beetz who is in the middle of murdering the shit out of every Satanist she comes across, in unique and…

  • Hokum Unveils Haunted Hotel You May Never Check Out Of

    If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s never go to any hotel, anywhere in the world, for any reason whatsoever. The Shining, 1408, Psycho for gods sake, if these aren’t signposts that say ‘Turn back, go home, and lock yourself in your bedroom’ then I donโ€™t know what is. It appears, however, that Adam…

  • Godzilla Raids Again (1955): The Birth of the Monster Brawl

    Forget the neon-drenched, hollow-earth acrobatics of the 2020s for a second. To truly understand the transformation of the King of the Monsters from political warning to arse whupping badass, we have to travel back to 1955. Just one year after the original dropped like an atomic bomb on global cinema, Toho gave us Godzilla Raids…
