My love of music is one of the few things that can rival my love of horror, so it should come as no surprise that Art of a Hit caught my attention the minute I heard about it. It’s a horror film about a fictional rock band from the ‘90s, and as a huge fan…

I will never forget the experience of watching the original Alien for the first time. My weekly trips to the local library to check out classic science fiction and monster movies with my dad meant that I was fairly familiar with the genre space that it inhabited. I lived on a steady diet of Kaiju movies, classic…

As people grow up, they seem to forget what a difficult time high school was. In a melting pot of burgeoning hormones and opinions, most teenagers want to be left alone. In the instance of Ganymede’s Lee Fletcher (Jordan Doww), it could be that life is a prison, and maybe his time served ends when he finally…

If you ask a group of hardcore horror fans to recommend some fun zombie or vampire films, they probably won’t have much trouble rattling off a list a mile long. But if you ask them to name a few good Wendigo flicks, you’ll get little more than a bunch of blank stares. Sure, they might…

It seems like just yesterday we watched Dr. Travis Taylor drive through the hills, en route to another season of research. His fire-red Jeep rolling through the Uintah Basin with optimism and a renewed sense of wonder. Years later, when the show is on Season 31 and you’re showing your kids The Secret of Skinwalker…

As previously stated, I’m a sucker for animated films. Recently, I’ve been on a bit of an anime kick, mostly looking for underground titles in the horror space that I’ve never seen before. The Kizumonogatari trilogy has been popping onto my radar many times over the last eight years. However, it’s almost impossible for Westerners to…

We’ve all seen films about hitmen before. Hell, just a few months ago, Netflix released a movie called Hit Man, and it proved to be a big success. These contract killers have been a cinematic mainstay for decades, so at first blush, it might not seem wise to make an entire anthology film about them.…

Animated films are a sweet spot for me. As I’m often writing about dark aspects of reality, relating horror films to the socio-political elements of our society, it’s good to hit the reset button every once in a while, if only momentarily shaking off the macabre for my own mental health. Of course, not every…

Two junior police officers, their electrically charged boss, a goat, a cricket player, his elderly neighbor, and his communist butler, convene at a murder scene. While it may sound like it’s the start of an off-color joke, those are just the idiosyncratic suspects in Indian director Pratul Gaikwad’s screwball, surrealist comedy Dead Dead Full Dead…
