Movie Reviews

In Our Blood is an excellent blend of traditional narrative filmmaking and the immersive realism of found footage. It’s a film that manages to breathe new life into a subgenre many considered exhausted. From the very first frame, the movie establishes a tense, unsettling atmosphere that never truly lets up. …

I’ve always been a fan of horror anthology films. Heck, I even wrote segments for some recent ones (I know, I know, shameless plug) and think that there are some great ones out there – like Creepshow and After Midnight – that most horror fans will dig. I watched Screamtime …

Bryan Bertino really cultivated the ultimate realistic modern home invasion setting with The Strangers (read our retro review here) back in 2008. But his newest directorial effort, Vicious, takes that premise to another level. What if you were trapped in your house with no escape, as your own personal demons …

Blue Moon is one of those rare biopics that truly seizes its opportunities to reintroduce audiences to a forgotten era in the music industry.

God bless Tubi. They have a massive collection of obscure horror films from the 70s and 80s in their library that you can watch for free, and I think it is awesome. Some of them are hidden gems while others are quite terrible, but the cool thing is that you …
