Movie Reviews

I love strange films, and one of my newest obsessions is the whole animatronics gone bad scenario. Recently, I reviewed the film The Banana Splits (2019 – read that review here), and then I came across this gem. Welcome to Kevin Lewis’s Willy’s Wonderland, a world fueled by Nicolas Cage’s …

There is no doubt, I absolutely enjoy Small Town Monsters’ films. I’ve already had the opportunity to review The Mothman Legacy (2020 – you may read my review here). We’ve also published reviews for Momo: The Missouri Monster (2019) here, On The Trail Of Bigfoot (2019) here, The Bray Road …

Let’s travel back to 1987 and talk about the genre flick, The Lamp/The Outing, Director Tom Daley’s only foray into the world of feature film. The script was written by Warren Chaney (Behind The Mask 1992), whose wife, Deborah Winters (The Winds Of War 19983), was cast in the film …

Slasher 15 is back, and this time, they’re out for blood in the new slasher throwback, Bloody Summer Camp! For the third film in his directorial filmography, David Kerr (Curse of the Slasher Nurse 2017) and his production team takes us camping in true ’80s horror fashion: No phone, no …

We just got word that Filmmaker Michael S. Rodriguez, the guy behind Lamb Feed, Night of the Sea Monkey, Lake of Shadows, and The Last American Horror Show franchise, has released a brand new short called Dealings. We’re used to seeing killer creatures in Rodriguez’s films, but it seems as …

Not everything is as it seems. The Banana Splits Movie (click here for another PopHorror writer’s thoughts on the film) was recommended to me by my daughter. Of course, seeing the cover, I thought, “Hmmm okay… people in costumes. A kids’ show. GREAT!” All I can say is that looks …
