I have a tough time with ghost stories and haunted house movies. I’m pretty skeptical of ghosts, and I find the idea of them to be pretty damn scary. I’ve stayed in allegedly haunted hotels, ventured onto supposedly haunted streets, and out into forests that are quite questionable. There’s this …

One thing you will never find me doing is attending, holding or being in any part of a seance. They’re all cool in theory, like a Ouija Board, but I am way too scared of opening a portal and letting out some bat-shit crazy, pissed off spirit. Ain’t nobody got …

If you haven’t seen The Green Inferno, you need to. It’s gross and slimy, and definitely will make you cringe. You can’t help but notice the slight scent of roasting meat while watching it. Eli Roth’s tribute to Cannibal Holocaust had a lot of young talent in the cast, but …

I love sleaze. Gratuitous titties in your face. Sex for absolutely no reason. Masturbating nuns. Gritty and dirty enough to make you feel like you might need a shower after. Amityville Vibrator has all the sleaze. Everything I mentioned above and more. It’s the possessed vibrator movie that you didn’t …

Tigers Are Not Afraid (read our reviews here and here) caught my eye after it screened at Fantastic Fest 2017 where the Spanish film won Writer/Director Issa Lopez the Best Horror Director prize. Tigers is a dark fairy tale that follows a group of young orphans trying to survive the …

You got it, the Phoenix Film Festival in conjunction with the Phoenix International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival takes over the Harkins Cinema Scottsdale 101 March 26 through April 5, 2020. And this year the festival is celebrating the …

The Lodge is one of my most highly anticipated movies of 2020. After the incredible Goodnight Mommy, a chilling and unsettling thriller out of Austria, I could not wait to see the English language follow up by filmmaking duo, Veronkia Franz and Severin Fiala. And oh, damn. The Lodge is …

Uber producer Ant Timpson has already gifted us with so many genre favorites like Turbo Kid, The Greasy Strangler, Deathgasm, The ABCs of Death, and The Field Guide to Evil. So when it was announced that he was going to direct his first feature, you can only imagine the excitement …

Exorcism films are fun because they’re scary, and often, they deal with unfamiliar themes. On the other hand, they almost always include the all too familiar young woman in a tattered, dirty nightgown with ashy skin, facial wounds, and lips as dry as the Sahara, screaming demonic vitriol in a …
