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…

When I first heard there was a movie called The Devil’s Bath, I was instantly intrigued. That name alone is enough to grab the interest of any self-respecting horror fan, but surprisingly, it’s not the most exciting thing about this film. The Devil’s Bath was directed by the duo behind Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge,…

From the moment I first heard about The Watchers, it’s been one of my most anticipated movies of the year. Not only is it the feature directorial debut of M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter, but more importantly, I found the premise just about irresistible. It’s a folk horror monster mystery, and literally every part of that…

There are two quick things I want to bring up before getting into this week’s episode. Starting off, I do not have some whiplash-inducing drama within the world of Skinwalker Ranch or the larger scope of disclosure. A lot has happened in the two weeks since the previous episode, but honestly, it’s too much to…

In a genre as old as horror, it can seem like there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s easy to think that everything has been done before, so if you watch enough scary movies, you’ll eventually start seeing nothing but the same tired ideas recycled over and over again…right? Well, not quite. When I first…

Evil Does Not Exist is a hauntingly elegant movie that brings all of Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s incredible talents into focus. His films are often painfully beautiful tone poems about the lives of characters who feel as though they live beyond the confines of the screen. After watching one of his movies, I feel as though I…
