Movie Reviews

Here at PopHorror, I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to review many films. Recently, for the 2018 Ithaca Fantastik, I was asked to review the film Knife + Heart. The story intrigued me. This is not a film I would automatically pick up to watch, but I found …

I love everything ghost hunter related. I’m not really sure why, but I think it has something to do with my parents giving me the book The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren when I was a kid. I was hooked, and ever since, I’ve gobbled up everything …

Here at PopHorror, we are huge fans of Yuletide terror. From ’80s classics like Silent Night Deadly Night, guilty pleasures like Santa’s Slay and Jack Frost, and modern indie films like Stirring and All Through The House, it’s something that even the biggest Scrooges in our writing staff can’t help …

I love it when a film starts off right away with killer music. I like a strong score or kick-ass song to draw me in and hold my attention. What’s even better is when that music keeps its control on me, and continues throughout the entire film. This is what …

We’re finally wrapping up our last review for the 2018 Screamfest Horror Film Festival. It was a great year, full of horrifyingly wonderful films and we are honored to have helped cover it. The last one on our list is the haunting horror short, So She Might Live. From Patrick …

That’s right: A major theme …

I love documentaries! Some of the best ones I’ve seen this year are For the Love of the Boogeyman: 40 Years of Halloween, The Bill Murray Stories, Wolfman’s Got Nards, and now The Dollhouse. I got the chance to watch The Dollhouse as coverage for the 2018 Screamfest Film Festival. When …

October was insanely busy, but we’re wrapping our coverage for festivals all around the world, including the 2018 Screamfest Film Festival. One of the horror stories we had the privilege of covering for this event is Here There Be Monsters. This brilliant horror short was written/directed by Drew Macdonald and was …

As we wrap up our coverage of the 2018 Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, I had an opportunity to watch the Head Trip Block Shorts for review. The block is perfectly described on the BHFF site as: At its boldest, horror doesn’t play by any rules. As you’ll see in these unclassifiable shorts, …

Although I do enjoy possession films, they are not my favorite horror subgenre. There’s just so many out there filled with too much regurgitated material, so it takes a compelling story to peek my interest. IFC Midnight has released several killer titles this year, and when I heard about Welcome …
