RZA is back behind the camera, bringing that old school Kung Fu and Exploitation vibe in his latest film, One Spoon of Chocolate, which lands in cinemas May 1st through 36 Cinema Distribution and Variance Films, with a red band trailer that makes its intentions very clear within seconds: this is going to get fucking…

By the time 1988 rolled around, the Friday the 13th franchise was starting to look a bit like a heavyweight boxer who had taken one too many shots to the jaw. We’d seen Jason die, come back as a zombie, get replaced by a copycat, and get resurrected by a lightning bolt like a hockey-masked…

To watch a Shaw Brothers film today is usually an exercise in nostalgia. A journey back to a time of vibrant colors, synchronized choreography, and operatic drama where everyone has perfect hair even after a sword fight. However, watching the 1971 classic The Bride from Hell feels markedly different. It is a film haunted not…

If there is one hill I am prepared to die on, likely at the business end of a customized farm tool, it is this: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is the most criminally underrated horror movie in the history of the genre. It’s a masterpiece that takes the slasher rulebook, puts it…

It’s in 4:3 ratio. It’s rougher than a badgers arsehole. It’s so badly edited that the plot doesn’t make any sense. The dubbing is laughable. And there are two of them, not one as the title suggests. Yet, I can’t help myself. I love this movie. Welcome back to the deep, dark depths of the…

Bruce Lee was the first ever tattoo I got on my body, which should be enough to tell you just how much I worship the man. It’s there on my upper right arm, a permanent reminder that while I’m sitting here typing this with a posture that would make a chiropractor weep, Bruce Lee was…

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the damp, flickering basement of the 80s, it’s that you can’t keep a good corporate mascot down. In the world of horror, death isn’t a finale; it’s a temporary inconvenience, a smoke break before the next shift starts. By 1988, the slasher genre was having a full-blown identity…

There’s something deeply wrong with seaside towns in horror. Too quiet. Too polite. Like everyone’s collectively agreed not to mention the thing that eats people after dark. Enter Widow’s Bay, where that ‘thing’ is done waiting. Apple TV is dropping this supernatural slow-burn (that probably won’t stay slow for long) on April 29th, kicking things…

Buckle up, because the Passenger isn’t offering snacks, legroom, or any chance of making it to your destination in one piece. Horror ringmaster André Øvredal is back behind the wheel, and this time he’s trading haunted ships and small-town nightmares for a road trip that goes straight through Hell’s dodgiest postcode. His latest film, Passenger,…

Some friendships don’t fade. They rot, get dug back up, and start causing problems for the entire neighbourhood. That’s the premise coming off of My Best Friend’s Dead, an indie horror title that’s taking the whole ride or die concept and stretching it well past the point where it should’ve stayed buried. The film is…
