  • Smile 2 Is the Rare Sequel That’s Better Than the First Film

    My enthusiasm for Smile 2 has been an absolute roller coaster. As a fan of the original Smile, I got excited when I heard a sequel was in the works, but everything changed when the trailer came out. I thought it looked like a soulless rehash of the first film, and that put a huge…

  • MadS: A Non-Stop Roller Coaster Ride of Crazies

    There are two trains of thought when it comes to rage-based zombies. The first group will lump George A Romero’s The Crazies with the rest of his Dead series and tell you there are no differences between one or the other. If you know someone like this, lose that person’s number immediately. They’re no good…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Diving Blind (S2E3)

    A new fighter has entered the ring! At the time of writing this coverage, we have new and interesting allegations regarding the government and classified Ufology news. A whistleblower has come out with a report that alleges the Pentagon and a secret UAP program called Immaculate Constellation. This program was supposedly hidden from Congress. The…

  • Uzumaki Spirals Out of Control in a Multitude of Ways (E3)

    The third episode of Uzumaki is more focused than the previous two, but the cracks in the show’s structure are showing more. Thematically, this episode continues to expand on the ideas of generational conflict, leading to breakdowns in society, while ramping up the scale of the narrative. While episodes 1 and 2 contained overlapping narratives…

  • Rippy Sets a Killer Kangaroo Loose in an Unsuspecting Town

    I love silly monster movies. Whether they feature tiny creatures like Critters and the recent Frankie Freako, giant monsters like the Showa-era Godzilla films, or a bit of both like the 2022 indie gem Crabs!, I can’t get enough of these movies. So naturally, when I heard about the new zombie kangaroo flick Rippy, I…

  • An Taibhse (The Ghost) Excels with Classic Haunted-House Chills

    It’s not often that a language catches my attention. I watch movies from all over the world, so I don’t usually care what language a film is in. But An Taibhse (The Ghost) was different. This is the first horror movie shot completely in Irish, so it’s a milestone for the genre. It’s a must-watch…

  • Terrifier 3: More Kills, More Gore, More Art the Clown

    Growing up, I always wanted to know what it was like to be back in the heyday of the slasher, you know? I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to witness a classic slasher evolve and become a global icon right before my very eyes. You know what? I think I finally have. Enter, Art…

  • Mr. Crocket Has Fantastic Effects and Freddy Krueger Showmanship

    In 2022, writer-director Brandon Espy creeped the hell out of parents everywhere with his short film Mr. Crocket, released as part of Hulu’s short film showcase Bite-Size Halloween. Every episode in the series was a macabre short film filled with imaginative ideas, but Mr. Crocket was one of the all-time highlights. The setup was straightforward.…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Aztec or Not? (S2E2)

    Howdy friends! Welcome back to our coverage of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. I don’t have any fun or exciting UAP/UFO news for you this week. Twitter has been too frustrating the past few days so I have decided to stay off of it for a bit. That means you don’t have to deal with…

  • Sick Chick Flicks Film Festival Part 2

    The second half of SCFF resumes with a convincing nod to Art Bell-type radio shows in  Distant Signals (Dir. Marielle Brinda),  about a paranormal radio host whose childhood experience with a strange man (whom he believes to be an extraterrestrial) in the woods becomes the defining moment in his life, to the point where he…
