Alamo Drafthouseโs Fantastic Fest is less than a week away, and itโs time for us to reveal the ten films weโre 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.…
There is no shortage of post-apocalyptic indie dramas out there. Hell, at this point, Iโm 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.…
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie holds an important place in Looney Tunes history in multiple ways. Itโs the first-ever theatrical, fully animated, feature-length Looney Tunes film (Past theatrical outings have been shorts, animation-live action hybrids, or feature-length compilations of (mostly) existing shorts). Itโs a rare 2D-animated film, which is especially…
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…
Yes, Wicked, the Broadway smash hit that has productions around the world and is always touring, all to packed audiences, has finally flown onto the big screen (pun intended). The script, music, lyrics, visuals, choreography, and performances immediately immerse you and sweep you up for a magical ride through Oz that will make you wonder…
I donโt know about you, but I think The Demon Disorder is a great name for a horror movie. Itโs 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…
As a horror movie critic, Iโm pretty plugged into the horror world. I know about most of the new genre releases, whether theyโre big theatrical films or smaller VOD movies, so itโs always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a title that completely slipped through the cracks for me. Itโs one of my favorite things…
This review is dedicated to Jimmy Whiskers. Have you ever felt whiplash from reading a book? Have you ever seen a fully realized film in your head from reading a book? Have you ever read a book that left you turned on, disgusted, sad, and slightly optimistic? If you havenโt, then hot damn, do I…
Being the silly, early-to-mid-2000s horror that they are, the Final Destination films donโt exactly have the best reputation. Sure, theyโre not classed as good horror films, but they are some of the most entertaining. Personally, Iโm a fan of this era of cheesy yet gritty horror; I thrive off the overly dramatic editing, the edgy…
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, theyโre pretty much before everyoneโs time. Punch originates in 16th-century Italy but became โa staple of the British seaside scene,โ according to The Daily Telegraph. Plotlines in the puppet theatre…
