Nightfire, the sci-fi/horror division of Tor Publishing Group, has rereleased Stephen Graham Jones’ (read our interview with him HERE) 2020 novella Night of the Mannequins so now you have no excuse to not read it. Complete with a new cover, what was once supposed to be a rip of Romero’s …
Read More »Emma Higgins’ ‘SWEETNESS’ (2025) – Movie Review
Sweetness plays like a rock-and-roll odyssey filtered through psychological horror, evoking clear DNA from Misery but with a modern, youth-driven perspective. The film centers on obsession, fandom, and identity, themes that feel particularly relevant in an era where pop stars are elevated to mythic status through social media and parasocial …
Read More »Fangs and Lots of Skin: ‘DATE WITH A VAMPIRE’ (2000) – Blu-ray Review
I’ll be completely honest, I LOVE Wild Eye Releasing’s Visual Vengeance series. Overlooked and forgotten (sometimes rightfully so) low/no-budget SOV features from filmmakers who either went on to greater things, or flashed out completely. They seem to make it their duty to preserve these gonzo, and legitimately entertaining, little gems …

I’m a huge fan of anthologies. I like how they offer a variety in their storytelling while usually being tied together by a theme. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten the chance to check out a good anthology so I was excited to check out the South Korean anthology film …

Subtitles always turn me away; I’m not really a foreign movie fan. There has been a chance for at least one film. Smother slapped me into place. I have never been so into a story such as this; it’s dark, it’s dreary, and it’s full of subtitles you won’t even …
Read More »Micro-Budget Horror: ‘HELL IS INSIDE’ (2025) – Movie Review
Low-budget filmmakers are often advised to “use what they have,” and in Christopher Williams’ HELL IS INSIDE, that philosophy is front and center. The story follows Margo (Mackenzie Lee), a young woman attempting to escape her past while staying at a remote farmhouse inn. Her fragile sense of stability is …

At little over a decade before we were widely exposed to the “beauty is pain” concept by recent offerings like The Substance and The Beauty, Japanese filmmaker Mika Ninagawa (Sakuran) adapted a manga and created a beautiful film called Helter Skelter (no relation to Charles Manson). 88 Films, as part …

Back in 2020, I watched this incredible indie horror movie called Lucky. Written by and starring Brea Grant (read our interview with her HERE), Lucky was directed by Natasha Kermani, a filmmaker who had just wowed genre fans with 2017’s Imitation Girl. After blessing us with last year’s Abraham Boys, Natasha …
Read More »Rod Blackhurst’s ‘DOLLY’ – Movie Review
Dolly — oof, where to begin. The biggest and perhaps only real highlight of this film is the casting of Sean William Scott in a horror role, alongside Ethan Suplee. Seeing Scott, best known for comedic and dramatic performances, step into the genre is intriguing and refreshing, and he brings …
