When The Barn hit streaming in 2016, it made genre audiences feel as though they were taking the journey with the characters, as opposed to just watching them on the screen. The film starred two lovable, average guys and a host of nostalgic-looking monsters. It was a love letter to horror …

Where was Jennifer Aniston before she became rich and famous on a generically-titled sitcom? Well, like a lot of us, she was being pursued by a demonic little Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) who was horny to get his gold back. The question is, should Aniston be embarrassed by this movie? Sure! …

One of the latest additions to the Unearthed Films catalog is Marcel Walz’s, La Petite Mort. Conceived in 2009, Walz’s early walk on the wild side features the priceless FX talents of Olaf Ittenbach. If that name isn’t ringing a bell, well, ol’ Olaf is responsible for the likes of …

The original Scream (1996) crashed into the horror world when the genre needed it most. Wes Craven’s (A Nightmare On Elm Street, 1984) meta whodunit not only became an instant hit, but it also breathed new life into horror in a period when things were starting to feel stale and …

I’m a huge fan of Christmas movies from the incredibly ridiculous over-the-top Hallmark movies to blood-covered snow ones. That being said, when I saw the official trailer for Christmas Bloody Christmas, I couldn’t wait to see it. The film was written and directed by Joe Begos (Bliss and VFW). It …
