Emmett Alston’s New Year’s Evil helped spawn an entire iconic era for the horror genre. Horror was just making a comeback after years of terrible films. Let’s face it, we all know there are some pretty bad blockbusters out there. There is no imagination anymore unless you are making a …

Horror movies in the 60s and early 70s often took the “Satanic cult” approach, though really, it has been done since the first horror movie premiered. In that era, the Satanic Panic set in, going on well into the 80s. It was a crusade against all things that were deemed …

Slashers are my mainline in this genre. Though I loved zombie movies, they got way too big. Goodnight, Light reminds me of the 70s nd 80s underground films that raised the question of “who dunnit?” Normally, these films deter me because, in all honesty, a lot of them were pretty …

Roel Reinés Savage Hunt turned out a bit wilder than I thought. Killer animals have always been cool with me. I enjoy watching humans meet their fate because of their ignorance. The film can be related to so many wildlife stories, amped all the way up to eleven. Though it …

Remington Smith’s LandLord took me on a ride that I was afraid of at first. Outside of Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), I don’t really dig too many vampire movies. This includes The Lost Boys and all other staples. The creep factor was not there because you could not relate …

Let’s face it, Tubi originals are very hit or miss. Sometimes, however, you get a gem. Takeout (2025) is a newly released film, and it made waves in my mind (my review). I had the chance to interview N’kone Mametja, who stars in the movie as “Nova.” Read on for …

Paul Gandersmans’ Man Finds Tape had me a bit fooled. In the age of found footage, I didn’t get what I was expecting, and that’s not a bad thing at all. I love found footage, but it does get pretty redundant, because it’s such an easy storyline, and it hides …
