Motel Hell first came into my life when I was about 6 years old. I actually arrived late to the party, considering the movies I had seen before it. Motel Hell gave the aura of all those silly slasher sequels and ran with it, calling it a parody of slasher …

STEVEN KOSTANSKI’S DEATHSTALKER (2025) isn’t the kind of fantasy film that tries to compete with sprawling, big-budget franchises. Instead, it leans into the joy of retro adventure—embracing the camp, blood, and bizarre creativity that made the 1980s sword-and-sorcery boom so endearing to cult audiences. It’s a bold, knowingly ridiculous resurrection …

As mentioned many times previously, most remakes are unnecessary or worse. Then you have ones that were actually good such as The Thing and Ocean’s 11. There was another one that many felt was just as good as the original, and that was the 2000 comedy BEDAZZLED. To understand BEDAZZLED …

I remember the first time I saw George A. Romero’s iconic film. Even people who are not into horror know Night Of The Living Dead. It is playing in any horror movie while the babysitter watches over the kids, and this film changed a lot of lives. Those who weren’t …

Stephen King’s Silver Bullet may have been one of the first horror movies I’ve ever seen, and I fell in love with it. As a young child, there was nothing scarier—or cooler—to me than werewolves. Vampires were scary, yes, but you could speak to them and possibly barter with them. …

Edgar Allen Poe’s The Oval Portrait is a story that has had several different variations, leading to Adrian Langley’s modern telling, which is honestly more terrifying than the story itself. The film has rolled right under the radar since 1972. I don’t understand how people could look right past this …
