In many ways, Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs is his most overtly political film, but in no way does that subtract from it. Sure, you can find social critiques in A Nightmare on Elm Street or even minutely in Scream, but political madness is less hidden in this …

Did you know children’s author Roald Dahl hosted a horror anthology series? That’s right! In fact, he actually hosted more than one. However, today we’re looking back at Roald Dahl’s short-lived-yet-neat series, Way Out, from 1961. Wikipedia is not wrong when it says, “Dahl, his face projected in a disconcerting …

Directed by James Kapner and starring Eliza Coupe, Greg Finley, Chris Baker, Heather Matarazzo, and Eric Roberts, The Estate is a fun, deadly blend of dark comedy, rich a-holes, and murderous thrills. Something that makes the film stand out is its score, composed by Dan Dombrowsky. What went into the …

Even if Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer isn’t the absolute scariest movie ever, it’s certainly one of the bleakest.

Recently, Peacock gave us the serial killer documentary John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise. In a deep dive into the John Wayne Gacy story, we are reminded that unsettling crimes can happen anywhere. Of course, a 6-hour documentary requires music, and Tyler Strickland offers just the right sounds to cushion …

Time to talk about 13 Demon Street. Though short-lived, this old, Swedish-American horror anthology show was hosted by the great Lon Chaney, Jr. In addition to being the son of film icon Lon Chaney, the actor had already enjoyed success as The Wolf Man in 1941 and other Universal Horror …

Having previously composed music for projects like The Seasoning House (2012), Bunnicula TV series, and the werewolves-on-a-train film, Howl (2015), Paul Edward-Francis has also composed the mighty, majestic score to Netflix series, Blood of Zeus.

Christopher Alan Broadstone’s Human No More: The Feature is quite a winding road. I use that analogy too often in my reviews, but permit me to use it again here, because it absolutely applies. In fact, it does not seem adequate to write a conventional review here. This movie is …
