My time at PopHorror has been quite the ride! Over time, I have had the pleasure of getting to meet old and new filmmakers along the way. Just under two years ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and came across a group page for a movie called The …

It’s Friday. More specifically, it’s Friday the 13th and sadly we won’t be seeing another Friday the 13th until next year. I decided to keep it simple this Flashback Friday and take a look at Jason Voorhees and the Friday the 13th franchise. I am a Michael Myers girl all …

Directed by Aislinn Clarke, The Devil’s Doorway demonstrates familiarized filmmaking while incorporating unique elements that give it a distinct voice. While called in to inspect the mysterious bleeding tears of The Virgin Mary statue within an Irish Magdalene Laundry for “insane and fallen” women, two priests (Lalor Roddy and Ciaran …
