It’s the weekend of April Fool’s Day, 1986 and your friend, Muffy, invites you to a party she’s throwing on a remote island along with a group of your closest college buddies. Aren’t you just dying to go? Such is the premise for the 1986 ‘slasher’ film April Fool’s Day. …

As a fan of low/no budget indie horror, I always look forward to seeing what these hometown auteurs come up with using their, often meager, means. When the studios start re-hashing literally everything, it’s usually in the indie folks that bring both the originality and the heat. I’m of the …

Corey Feldman vs. the World is the kind of documentary that feels almost destined to divide its audience before it even begins. On one hand, it presents itself as a deeply personal account of Corey Feldman’s life, struggles, and long-standing claims about abuse in Hollywood. On the other, it often …

Documentary Troublemaker – Antoine Fuqua gives us an emotionally turbulent but honest look over the life of Nelson Mandela. The film was helped by beautiful interstitial art and truthful reflections on Mandela’s life. For fellow Americans like myself, our schooling system did not teach us much about Apartheid, so this …

I remember hearing about Hatchet a few months before it came out and I thought that it sounded awesome. I couldn’t wait to see it because it sounded like it had some good old school 80s slasher flick vibes to it, so I went and bought a copy of it …

Anyone who intentionally chooses to watch CRACKCOON(2024) knows what to expect.  Luckily, the filmmakers embraced the schtick and has a blast with it. The film (along with dozens of others in the wake of Cocaine Bear) takes a ridiculous premise—a raccoon getting into a stash of illegal drugs and turning …

UNDERTONE (2026) is one of the more interesting horror films to come along in recent years, largely because it leans into a concept that feels both simple and fresh. Rather than relying on elaborate visuals or constant jump scares, the film builds its dread almost entirely through sound. It’s a …

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal approaches gothic mythology with a daring sense of authorship in The Bride! – a film that exhumes one of horror’s most recognizable legends and reshapes it into something electrifying. Gyllenhaal relocates the narrative gravity toward the figure who has long existed on the margins of the story, …
