Movie Reviews

We are into the second month of 2019 already! It’s about time we had a wide release of a horror film. Some may consider Glass to be the first, but in my opinion, that one really doesn’t fall under this genre. With that said, I believe The Prodigy to be …

It’s a story that’s been told several times. Amityville Horror and the movies that followed told the events that happened to the Lutz’s and everyone else who has ever lived at 112 Ocean Avenue. But this version of the Amityville story is slightly different than the ones that I have …

Dark Sky Films is known for releasing quality horror films of all kinds, and I’m always excited about their releases. That being said, although PopHorror did a lot of coverage for The Dark, I never had much interest in it until it was called one of the best films of …

There is no guidebook, no set of rules, for dealing with a trauma. Everyone deals with wounds in their own way, and that’s the beauty of healing. You can do it however you want to, in any way that makes you more comfortable, and move towards to rising above. Felt, …

In his first time directing a feature length movie, special effects and makeup artist James Ojala goes high concept. His feature film debut, Strange Nature, was released in September of 2018. It appeared on VOD and disc (including being seen by this reviewer at Walmart). This low budget nature/environmental horror …

As a fan of extreme horror, I am always chomping at the bit for the next release from Unearthed Films. The announcement of their acquirement of Adrian Corona’s 2017 film, Dis, was no different, leaving me counting the days until it would be available for its 2019 release date. So imagine …

Netflix’s new movie, Polar, is based off a graphic novel under the same name by Victor Santos. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the movie stars Actor Mads Mikkelsen. I have always been a big fan of Mikkelsen since seeing him in Hannibal. I think he is an even greater Hannibal than Anthony …
