We knew from the very beginning of Kaiju No. 8 that Kafka’s Anti-Kaiju Defense Force comrades would eventually find out about his alter ego. It was in Crunchyroll’s description of the show when the first episode aired, and I’ve been waiting for that moment ever since. So when I heard that this latest installment was…

By the time most horror fans became aware of Takashi Miike with 1999’s horrifyingly disturbing Audition, he’d already directed 31 movies. Between that horror classic and his other, almost equally infamous Ichi the Killer, he’s got a reputation as being a J-Horror master although his extremely prolific filmography now totaling 122 movies, pretty much runs the gamut…

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…

Last week’s episode of Kaiju No. 8 ended with some mysterious new monsters flying into town, and I said in my review that these creatures would almost certainly give the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force some big problems. Well, it turns out I was right, but even I didn’t know how much havoc these things would cause.…

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…

Shortwave Publishing quickly made a name for itself as a home for some of the most original and unique names in indie horror writing. While I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read from them, even if I didn’t end up reviewing some, it was the Killer VHS Series that caught my attention. After seeing the exclusive cover…

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…
