Mystery thrillers are a great mixture for fans of any genre. Since the dawn of cinema and even before then, people have been reading pulp comics, books, watching TV shows and movies. Even today, a marathon of Law & Order can be the best thing for the soul. We watch …

When it comes to love, some of us fall hard, quickly, and in some cases, become attached rapidly. These feelings can be mutual, and sometimes they won’t be shared. It can be hard for celebrities in the public eye who have to carry an image that they’re available for anyone, …

Slasher films are perhaps one of horror’s most hallowed subgenres. Since they first rose to mainstream popularity in the 1980s, we’ve seen decades worth of attempts from filmmakers trying to bring masked serial killers back to prominence. Massacre Academy is the newest entry to that long and luxurious laundry list, …

When you’re young, independence itself can be pretty scary. Most kids don’t have to deal with that while being haunted by an evil, wish-granting spirit. Unfortunately, one night after his radio host dad is called in for an overnight shift, young, mute Dylan Jacobs (Ezra Dewey) is planning a spooky …

It isn’t every day that you come across movies that make you grin with the strange particularity that filmmakers like Dario Argento can bring. Although Demons didn’t get much attention at the time, looking back at the film now, we can’t help but see the genius behind the motion picture. …

Most of the time, I blind bought movies just to see them, build my collection, and appreciate the art. …

I had heard nothing but good things about Son (read our first review- here), so I decided it was time to check out the Blu-ray! The film was written and directed by Ivan Kavanagh (Never Grow Old, The Canal). It stars Andi Matichak (Halloween franchise, Assimilate), Emile Hirsch (Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, Into the Wild, Milk), …

When Friday The 13th was released in 1980, most people (including its cast and crew) believed it would be a standalone horror film. Enter Friday The 13th Part 2 the following year. Once the studios realized that these slasher films would be cheap to produce and easy to turn a profit, we …

When it comes to ’80s Canadian slashers, Happy Birthday to Me is often overlooked by Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974) and My Bloody Valentine (1981). While Happy Birthday to Me isn’t as flawless, the film is a classic and deserves to be on the same level as those other Canadian gems. …
