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.

We could take the time to discuss what has been happening on UFOTwitter over the past week, as we usually do. We could talk about how Ufologist Dr. Steven Greer and Lue Elizondo are coming at each other’s throats over something. Or how an author, who will remain unnamed, made a post that in the…

I’ve been on a bit of a folk horror kick lately. Soon after Severin Films announced a second volume of their acclaimed folk horror box set All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror, I decided to finally pull the trigger on volume one. I watched all 20 movies in the span of…

When you attend a film festival, you have to be selective about the movies you watch. There are usually so many options you can’t possibly see everything, so you have to decide which titles appeal to you the most. Sometimes a movie interests you because of the premise or the trailer, but other times, the…
