Over the last couple of weeks, FrightFest movies have consumed my life. I’ve seen vampires, banshees, serial killers, and surrealness portrayed in ways that surprised and antagonized, and hopefully, you’ve been along for the ride as well. However, with all of the horror and big ideas being displayed on screen, I’m still a sucker for…

Netflix movies are notoriously hit or miss, and that’s being generous. The vast majority of them come and go without much buzz or fanfare (if any!), so I don’t usually pay much attention to them. But the new exorcism film The Deliverance is one of the few exceptions. Before it came out, I heard that…

Bogieville was one of the films I was really hyped up for at this year’s FrightFest. I love a good vampire movie. Who doesn’t? The preview offered a no-holds-barred fight between two factions of feuding undead creatures of the night. I don’t know if other people do this with movies, or maybe even different color…

AI has a long and storied cinematic history. From classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner to modern gems like Upgrade and Ex Machina, it’s featured in some of the best genre films ever made. It’s pretty much become its own trope, and when done well, it can be amazing. So naturally, when…

When The Daemon was sent my way from one of my usual sources, it was a film that I almost immediately wanted to see. Both the description and the images included looked like they were my kind of jam. On top of that one of the leads, Sara Fletcher, was my first TV crush from…

I’ve been chomping at the bits to jump back onto the ranch with Duane and the boys. Something about Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch is incredibly addicting. Could it be the authenticity mentioned in my coverage of Season 1 Episode 1: What Lies Beneath? Or how about the true mystery of what lies beneath the…

I grew up watching old-school horror the way normal kids watch Disney movies. In fact, I’ve still never seen The Lion King, Pocahontas, or Beauty and the Beast in their entirety, but I recite the plots of films like Frankenstein, Psycho, and Creature from the Black Lagoon in my sleep. I just adore those black-and-white…

I’m not going to lie, when I first heard about Out Come the Wolves, I immediately thought of Rancid’s seminal 1995 album with almost the exact same name. That’s just how my punk rock-saturated brain works, but as irrelevant as that connection is, it proved to be quite fortuitous. It piqued my interest, and when…

I’m a sucker for all things monstrous, ghostly, and supernatural, so it should come as no surprise that The Monster Beneath Us was one of my most anticipated films at FrightFest this year. The title alone was enough to catch my attention, and when I read the plot synopsis and watched the trailer, I was…

When I see the company “Rustic Films” attached to a movie, you can count on me being immediately interested. The production company is a way of saying Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead, and David Lawson Jr. have given the movie you’re about to see their thumbs up, and you know with that endorsement, it’s likely going…
