One of my most anticipated films this year was Satanic Panic. Both critics and fans alike were raving about it, and I just couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into it. The time finally came for me to watch this bloody madness unfold in honor of its release date, and …

If you thought Chernobyl on HBO was tough, get ready for Threads. I wasn’t aware of this film until recently. I was searching through Shudder and came across this random title called Threads. I looked at the general synopsis, and it sounded like a mockumentary… and I’m all for mockumentaries. …

One of the really cool things I get to do here at PopHorror is review films. I have a chance to see films that I probably otherwise would not see. A lot of those times, the reviews are for film festivals. Confession time: Sometimes, I pick a film. Other times, …

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of watching a screening of Cold Wind Blowing during the Genreblast Film Festival 2019. I honestly had not heard anything about it, but once I watched the trailer, I knew I had to check it out! I am a huge fan of isolated/contained …

Bloodsucker’s Planet is an independent sci-fi entry about a team of space explorers that get a call to go to another planet. While the budget appeared to be very low, this space-themed film did its best to blend genres, mixing sci-fi, comedy, and horror. This film was written and directed …

I can’t lie… I’m pretty much a fan of everything Brian K . Williams and Ellie Church have done (especially together), so to say I have been looking forward to Jessie’s Super Normal Regular Average Day would be an understatement. I backed the Kickstarter campaign, but was prepared to wait …

Once again, it’s time for our regularly scheduled Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray release! For the end of summer 2019, we’ve got the 1984 indie sleeper hit, Decoder. Never heard of it? That’s probably because you weren’t a part of the antiestablishmentarianism counterculture of the early ’80s. Disco was dead and punk …
