I’ve become very fond of Mayhem Film Festival, and it’s lovely to meet a filmmaker who feels the same. Recently, I had the pleasure of spending half an hour in the company of Marc Price, writer and director of The Arbiter, soon due to screen at this year’s Mayhem. “We’ve had two films there,” Marc…

I’m going to tell you as little as possible about the film I See the Demon: when I saw it a few days ago, I kept thinking it reminded me of another film, but then, before a few minutes had passed, it turned out to be quite different. There was certainly a lot to talk about…

There have been so many films and stories about vampires over the years that it’s always intriguing to find one that has a novel take. That’s where the new film, LandLord, has its hook: its central baddie is a vampire who doesn’t need to be invited in, as he owns the homes where his prey live.…

As I’ve said in my review for F1, I’m not particularly into sports or sports movies. However, couple that with a psychological horror bent, and you have my interest.

It may have only been three years ago when I was first introduced to the world as Avalon Fast sees it.

The film industry is embracing eco-horror in a particularly intense way lately. Director Paul Greengrass stated that he aimed for the “most realistic depiction of fire ever on film” in his upcoming film, The Lost Bus. There’s also Paramount+’s Wolf Pack, which begins with a similarly harrowing situation of kids on a bus fleeing their town as…

Long before The Lord of the Rings was ever conceived as a thought in Peter Jackson’s head, the ‘80s were filled with medieval fantasy movies. From the Conan the Barbarian films to Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, heroes and monsters were explored in ways audiences haven’t seen since. So many fantasy worlds were illustrated…

I spent this past weekend getting to know The Jester, Colin Krawchuck’s magic mime with Terrifier qualities. With The Jester 2 opening this week, it seemed like the perfect time to catch up for the next entry. I had heard many people talk about the film and how Michael Sheffield’s mannerisms left many feeling as…

As a child of the nineties, it’s amusing to me whenever new slasher films use the decade as part of their setting. While nothing is outright weird about exploring the time period, it just seems to me that The Silence of the Lambs defines early ‘90s slashers, and most late ‘90s slashers seem driven by inspiration from Wes…

I’m brand new to The Toxic Avenger franchise and Troma films in general. I wasn’t exactly interested in some of their over-the-top sexual material. But this reboot of The Toxic Avenger pulled me in! One thing that The Toxic Avenger does, as Jeremy Jahns says in his review, is fully give you the experience that…
