What does an evil substitute teacher, killer bridesmaids, and demonic puppet all have in common? They’re part of the amazingly bizarre new project, A Comedy Of Horrors, Volume 1, from Dan DeLuca (The Wire) and Ken Arnold (House of Cards), along with Matt Servitto (The Sopranos). This latest release comes …

I miss living in the Midwest during autumn. I miss October in Ohio and the Halloween festivities. When I was in high school, one of the most popular Halloween attractions was the “haunted” cornfield a few towns over. I preferred it over your typical haunted house, and while we do …

Addison Binek’s Psycho Ape! might seem like just another goofy, low-budget horror spoof… well, okay. It is. But sometimes that’s what a person wants to see! The movie is intensely self-aware, always making it clear that it’s about a Psycho Ape (Stephen Albers) going around killing people. However, there is …

It’s been a long time that a movie has stuck with me quite like how Jean-Christopher Meurisse’s French flick, Bloody Oranges, is still on my mind many months after first watching it. The film is being marketed as a dark comedy. Yes, it does have some pretty good comedic elements. …

This past year has been ripe with unique and mind-bending horror films, and I want to devour them all. Hatching, a new Finnish body horror movie written by Ilja Rautsi, is a far cry from the cookie cutter scary films that have been churned out in bulk lately. And if …

I got the opportunity to sit down with Jay Cheel and Brian Robertson, the creators of Cursed Films, a standout series on Shudder about sets of famous films that have dark events connected to them. Jay writes and directs the series, while Brian produces it. Cursed Films has just begun it’s …

When I was 14, The Crow was released. I was so enamored by the dark and gritty film that I saw it in the theaters twice. I rarely do that, so that says a lot. Through the years, the film has remained one of my favorites. And let’s not forget …

Growing up, we did not have a basement. No cellar, crawl space, storm shelter… nothing. So, I find the deep, dark void—the unknown—swallowing the bottom of a set of basement steps truly terrifying. I just don’t like it. Brendan Muldowney’s latest film, The Cellar, plays upon my fears of the …

Filmmaker Goran Stolevski directorial feature-length film debut, You Won’t Be Alone, is a beautiful, heartbreaking, and poetic film. Filmed in Serbia but set in 19th century Macedonia, You Won’t Be Alone follows Nevena on her horrific journey of finding out what it’s like to be human. To celebrate the film’s release, I …

I just added a new film to my ever-growing list of favorites of this year. Mariama Diallo’s Master (our review) is just amazing. It’s thoughtful, but packs a mean punch and doesn’t fuck around with the story it’s trying to tell. It will make you think but is also super freaking creepy …
