DREAD has delivered so many wonderful titles in 2019 and they just keep coming. Their newest feature, The Fare, is a unique story about love, loss, and the unknown. I didn’t know much about this film before watching it, and it definitely took me on one hell of a ride. …

Read More »‘Running With The Devil’ (2019) Movie Review
Running With The Devil is a movie that’s so simplistic in its delivery that it doesn’t even have proper names for its characters, yet it aims to invest the audience in the personal backstories of the implicated. While this film may not reinvent the wheel in terms of the drug-running plot, …

The horror genre has a fascination with teens. Whether werewolf, ghost, masked killer or clown, the threat always comes for teenagers first if it can. I believe the teen is most often burned on horror’s bier because of their uncertainty. They are children in many ways, but on the cusp …
