Steeped in Irish mythology, The Morrigan (read our review HERE), written and directed by Colum Eastwood and starring Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and James Cosmo (Trainspotting), is about more than just the “queen of the dead.” It’s about the complicated and intricate relationship between a mother (Burrows) and daughter …

You could say I was a bit surprised to find out that Julie Pacino, daughter of Al, wrote and directed a horror movie. I Live Here Now, starring Lucy Fry, Sheryl Lee, and Matt Rife (in a terrific dramatic role that is not funny, at all), is a surreal nightmare …

PopHorror sat down with artist Skinner (check out his art here) and director Allen Cordell to talk about their bizarre, hilarious, and strangely heartfelt art show, Art Show! With Captain Skinner.
