For decades, the slasher flick has been a staple of popular horror. A masked or disfigured creep running around bludgeoning unsuspecting teens has always made for a perfect date night at the drive-in. Hatchet not only used those popular ’70s and ’80s tropes, turning the dial up to ten, as a …

The new comedy-horror mockumentary, When The Screaming Starts, recently had its World Premiere at FrightFest this August. I was lucky enough to check it out and experience the chaos and madness that this film delivers! When The Screaming Starts marks the feature debut of filmmaker Conor Boru and was overseen by …

IFC Films’ metafictional feature, The Nowhere Inn is quite different than anything I’ve seen before and I appreciated the uniqueness, charm, and comedy. The film was directed by Bill Benz and co-written by Annie Clark and Carrie Brownstein. It stars Annie Clark, Carrie Brownstein, and Dakota Johnson. Synopsis for The Nowhere …

I was surprised that I hadn’t heard of the Scream Team Releasing film, Force To Fear (2020), before now, especially after seeing how many familiar names and faces were involved. When the Blu-ray became available this past summer, it popped up onto my radar, and I knew I had to …

Next up from Vinegar Syndrome’s August 2021 releases is John P. Finnegan’s movie, Girls School Screamers, from Troma Entertainment. Despite the Troma label, this isn’t a typical Lloyd Kaufman puke and poop adventure. This film is an out-and-out slasher with beautiful girls, stereotypical characters, and maybe a gallon of blood. …

Shudder is an awesome streaming service. It is one of my favorites. To say I was looking forward to their film, Superhost, is an understatement. A Shudder Original from Brandon Christensen (Still/Born 2018 – read our review here) and starring Barbara Crampton (Jakob’s Wife– read our review here)? Sold. So …
