  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956): When Your Neighbor is the Monster

    ​If there is one movie that feels like it was born for midnight screenings, it’s this one. It’s not about a giant lizard knocking over Big Ben. It’s not about a guy in a rubber suit trying to take a scientist to prom. It’s about the most terrifying thing imaginable: The people you love turning…

  • Fantastic Fest 2025: 10 Films to Melt Your Brain at This Year’s Festival

    Alamo Drafthouse’s Fantastic Fest is less than a week away, and it’s time for us to reveal the ten films we’re pumped to see at the 20th edition of the Austin-based genre festival. First of all, there is an amazing array of talent on display here, filled with amazing motion pictures, both seen and unseen.…

  • Fantasia 2025: Humanity Goes Back to ‘The Well’

    There is no shortage of post-apocalyptic indie dramas out there. Hell, at this point, I’m fairly certain you could find a Tubi subgenre dedicated to these films without going very deep into the subscription service. The idea of the end of the world is generationally compelling, and the plots tend to cater to small budgets.…

  • Take a Ride with The Man in the White Van’s Warren Skeels

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Today, we have a spectacular gift for you in interview form. Warren Skeels, director, producer, and co-writer of The Man in the White Van, sat down with us to discuss the theatrical release of his feature debut. The film is a harrowing slow-burn thriller that pits a fantastic…

  • I don’t know about you, but I think The Demon Disorder is a great name for a horror movie. It’s short and to the point, and the alliteration makes it roll off the tongue with an almost poetic ease. It immediately caught my attention the first time I heard it, and when I saw the…

  • Winter Island Hides an Unspeakable Secret Behind Its Spectral Trappings

    As a horror movie critic, I’m pretty plugged into the horror world. I know about most of the new genre releases, whether they’re big theatrical films or smaller VOD movies, so it’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a title that completely slipped through the cracks for me. It’s one of my favorite things…

  • Ranking Final Destination Deaths from Boring to Fun

    Being the silly, early-to-mid-2000s horror that they are, the Final Destination films don’t exactly have the best reputation. Sure, they’re not classed as good horror films, but they are some of the most entertaining. Personally, I’m a fan of this era of cheesy yet gritty horror; I thrive off the overly dramatic editing, the edgy…

  • Punch Proves the Public Domain is Already Fatigued

    Someone will have to tell me why Punch and Judy dolls were ever as popular as they were. Not only are they before my time, they’re pretty much before everyone’s time. Punch originates in 16th-century Italy but became “a staple of the British seaside scene,” according to The Daily Telegraph. Plotlines in the puppet theatre…

  • 2023 had no shortage of weird movies. Sure, superheroes and lightsabers have dominated the box office for the last decade or so, but films like Barbie, Infinity Pool, and Dream Scenario proved that there’s still room for unique, outside-the-box storytelling in today’s cinematic landscape. It’s just a great time to be a movie fan, so…

  • Night Swim Is Content to Flounder in the Shallow End

    I’m a big fan of haunted house movies. If there’s a malevolent spirit tormenting a group of unsuspecting victims, I’ll always be down to see it, so naturally, when I first heard about Night Swim, I was immediately intrigued. Not only did this film look like it would offer a fun haunted house experience, but…
