Oddity has been on my most-anticipated list ever since I first got wind of it. It was made by Damian McCarthy, the guy who burst onto the horror scene with the 2020 gem Caveat, and if you’ve seen that film, you know it’s one of the best and most inventive creepfests in recent memory. I…

When you walk into a film expecting it to be good, one of two things usually happens. Sometimes the movie will meet your expectations, and other times it’ll leave you sorely disappointed.

You’ve probably witnessed a mukbang and had no idea. And if you’ve ever eaten on camera and posted…

Let’s not make a big deal about this, but we need to have a quick chat about the 1.6 GHz signal. I should state that the phenomenon of this mysterious signal that pops up sporadically is intriguing. And I want to believe! But I recently found out something that’s quite…revealing. Dr. Travis Taylor is correct,…

When Ti West made X back in 2022, the film was a welcome return to the genre that put him on the map, but nobody expected it to turn into a franchise. However, as I’m sure you know, we all turned out to be completely wrong. West is now capping off the X trilogy with…

If you want to get me interested in a movie, your best bet might be to pitch it to me as a Lovecraftian mystery. I find that kind of horror irresistible, so when I first heard about Delicate Arch, I was instantly intrigued. The plot synopsis I received was pretty vague, but it teased that…
