Remakes get a bad rap in the movie world, and understandably so. Sure, there are some great ones out there, like The Thing and Scarface, but more often than not, these films end up being pale imitations of their far superior originals. So naturally, this new remake of The Crow had an uphill battle from…

Directorial debuts are always a crapshoot. Sometimes they turn out great like Get Out, and other times like, say, Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix, they’re downright awful. You never know what you’re going to get. When I heard that actress Zoë Kravitz was stepping into the director’s chair for a psychological thriller called Blink Twice, I…

Horror fans have a lot of tolerance for schlock, sometimes tolerating movies with ridiculous names that take things way too seriously and other times rolling their eyes at films that don’t take their premise seriously enough. There’s something great about a horror-comedy that knows how to walk that fine line. Director Mike Hermosa and the…

As I said in our FrightFest curtain raiser, I love movies about people who love movies. For example, I’m a big fan of Scream, The Monster Squad, and The Final Girls, so it should come as no surprise that Test Screening grabbed my attention the minute I heard about it. The name alone sounded like…

You always want to start a film festival on a good note, so when I had to choose which FrightFest screener to watch first, it was a no-brainer. Broken Bird wasn’t just one of my most anticipated movies of the entire festival. It was also FrightFest’s opening film, so I figured it had to be…

Now that Season 5 of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch has come to an end, I’ve found myself longing for more high strangeness. Even if this latest season of Skinwalker Ranch fluctuated in quality, I still love it. While writing up coverage for Episodes 13 and 14 The Breakthrough & Shock and Awe I had…

So I’m fresh off of seeing Milk & Serial about five minutes ago, and it’s something that I need to write about. Let’s get into it. Found footage is a tricky sub-genre of horror to get right, but when it’s done right, it’s done right. I think that’s exactly what Milk & Serial manages to…

I love multiverse stories. I just find the idea of alternate realities utterly fascinating, so films like Coherence, Deadpool & Wolverine, and From Beyond are right up my alley. I’m always down to watch a movie that explores this mind-boggling concept, so when I first heard about the found-footage film Hostile Dimensions, it immediately caught…

In the world of super low-budget horror, you’d be hard-pressed to find anybody more beloved than the Adams family, and I don’t mean Gomez and Morticia. I’m talking about the filmmaking team of Toby Poser, her husband John Adams, and their kids. They’ve made some of the best indie horror flicks in recent memory, like…
