Here at PopHorror, we are huge fans of Yuletide terror. From ’80s classics like Silent Night Deadly Night, guilty pleasures like Santa’s Slay and Jack Frost, and modern indie films like Stirring and All Through The House, it’s something that even the biggest Scrooges in our writing staff can’t help …

I love it when a film starts off right away with killer music. I like a strong score or kick-ass song to draw me in and hold my attention. What’s even better is when that music keeps its control on me, and continues throughout the entire film. This is what …

PopHorror was lucky enough to help cover the 2018 Ithaca Fantastik Film Festival, one of our first reviews is the horror thriller, Piercing. Piercing is one that I’ve wanted to see for awhile. I kept missing the chance with each passing festival and I was stoked to finally see it. …

We’re finally wrapping up our last review for the 2018 Screamfest Horror Film Festival. It was a great year, full of horrifyingly wonderful films and we are honored to have helped cover it. The last one on our list is the haunting horror short, So She Might Live. From Patrick …

For those who occasionally wish to kick it old school and see an unapologetically sleazy (and just plain weird) horror flick, Machine Gun Baby may be just what the abortion doctor ordered! That’s right: A major theme …

I love documentaries! Some of the best ones I’ve seen this year are For the Love of the Boogeyman: 40 Years of Halloween, The Bill Murray Stories, Wolfman’s Got Nards, and now The Dollhouse. I got the chance to watch The Dollhouse as coverage for the 2018 Screamfest Film Festival. When …

October was insanely busy, but we’re wrapping our coverage for festivals all around the world, including the 2018 Screamfest Film Festival. One of the horror stories we had the privilege of covering for this event is Here There Be Monsters. This brilliant horror short was written/directed by Drew Macdonald and was …

Prolific Italian filmmaker Domiziano Cristopharo (you can read our interview with him here) is back with the third installment in the Trilogy Of Death called Xpiation, with the first two installments being Torment and American Guinea Pig: Sacrifice. Cristopharo has this brilliant artistry to his film work. It has a very …
