Making its world premiere at the Chattanooga Film Festival this weekend, Racheal Cain’s Somnium affirms that dreams are within your reach, even if reality makes achieving them a nightmare. The film follows Gemma (The Ranger’s Chloë Levine) as she arrives in Hollywood from a simple Midwestern farm town to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.…

If The Exorcism has completely caught you by surprise, don’t worry. It doesn’t mean you’re out of the loop. The marketing for this film has been just about non-existent, so I’m sure even a lot of hardcore genre fans didn’t realize it was coming out. But it’s in theaters now, and as a huge fan…

Just a couple quick updates before we dive on in to Season 5 Episode 8 Graves Concern of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. I love and appreciate all of the support I’m receiving from the Skinwalker Ranch groups on Facebook for my coverage of this series! I decided to share last week’s coverage with a…

If there’s one thing I like more than a good vampire movie, it’s an unconventional film that deviates from the standard bloodsucking template. I can’t get enough of movies like Martin, Cronos, and Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, so it should come as no surprise that the name Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person was…

By the time most horror fans became aware of Takashi Miike with 1999’s horrifyingly disturbing Audition, he’d already directed 31 movies. Between that horror classic and his other, almost equally infamous Ichi the Killer, he’s got a reputation as being a J-Horror master although his extremely prolific filmography now totaling 122 movies, pretty much runs the gamut…

Oh boy, have I been waiting for this episode. Partly because, obviously, it’s The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch! But also I couldn’t wait to tell you my experience. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about! Due to some of the messages I’ve received from doing this coverage, I will not say where this took place…

Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days. It’s used in all sorts of industries, many of us have digital assistants like Siri and Alexa in our homes, and teachers have to vigilantly look out for papers written by ChatGPT. It almost feels like Skynet is right around the corner, so it should come as no surprise…

The People in the Walls begins with such promise. A fairly fun ’80s-style synth track plays while the camera slowly zooms in on a cellphone displaying flickering analog TV-style static as a person’s voice, obscured by electrical vocal fry, screams seemingly in rhythm to the score. This creates a fun and unsettling combination of modern…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it multiple times again: I love vampires. Other than kaiju, they’re my favorite monster species of all time, and one of the best things about them is their versatility. Sure, there are enough Dracula remakes and rip-offs to keep you occupied for what seems like an undead…

I haven’t known about The Vourdalak for very long, but from the moment I first saw that title, I knew I had to check this movie out. I correctly guessed that it was an adaptation of The Family of the Vourdalak, an A. K. Tolstoy novella that was previously brought to the big screen as…
