John Lithgow is an American treasure, and if you disagree, we can never be friends. I grew up watching him as the loveable yet oafish head of an alien family on 3rd Rock From the Sun after countless rewatches of Harry and the Hendersons with my family. Back then, I would never have considered a…

Wrestling and horror are two peas in a pod. The legacy of performers who have traded in their spandex shorts for big film roles may begin with Tor Johnson. Johnson was a Swedish wrestler getting bit parts in the 1930s before breaking out in Ed Wood’s schlocky 1955 film Bride of the Monster. Then, luchador…

Beauty standards for women were put on notice last year as Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror masterpiece The Substance roared into theaters. The innovative and hypnotic thriller has absolutely dominated the horror space since last summer, even earning Demi Moore her third Golden Globe nomination and first win. While horror fans are surely expecting an influx of…

If you’d ever considered a world where slasher movies are real, have I got the film for you. A late 2024 entry, horror-comedy Bloody Axe Wound makes its way into theaters this weekend, and it’s a bloody good time worth the price of admission.

There are two trains of thought when it comes to rage-based zombies. The first group will lump George A Romero’s The Crazies with the rest of his Dead series and tell you there are no differences between one or the other. If you know someone like this, lose that person’s number immediately. They’re no good…

How far would a mother go to save her children? Horror movies have been asking and answering that question for decades, but none have done it quite like Little Bites. Most films use the tried-and-true trope of a woman who turns into a monster to keep her kids safe and/or healthy (or just alive!), but…

If there’s one thing we horror fans love, it’s franchises. We’re always super excited to see the next installment of our favorite film series, but most of the time, these sequels don’t live up to the hype. In fact, they usually get worse and worse, so by the time part six or seven rolls around,…

If 2023’s No One Will Save You proved anything, it’s that there is a market for originality in how we tell our stories. The straight-to-Hulu release of the Kaitlin Dever-led alien abduction movie was positively received overall and supported the idea that a great story can transcend dialogue. Now, almost exactly a year later, Channel…

I love monsters, and I love films about grief. So naturally, if you put those two together, I’m all in, and that’s exactly what drew me to Daddy’s Head. While I thought the name sounded a bit silly, the plot synopsis was intriguing as hell. It instantly caught my attention, so I just had to…
