Am I the only one that occasionally feels like we’re on critical overload with zombies these days? Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Romero, and even though I think it’s getting a little tired, The Walking Dead still manages to be one of the most compelling hours on television. …

This past August 8th was the 25th anniversary of the 1993 made-for-television movie Body Bags. The film, produced by Showtime, is made up of three unrelated segments originally intended as episodes of a series that was never released, similar to Tales from the Crypt or The Twilight Zone.

Death can be beautiful to some. Love can be cruel, and it can lead to horror. These were some of my thoughts as I watched Colin Floom and Greg Nemer’s 2018 film, Dead Love. It is a story of loss, grief, love, passion, cruelty, and death. Sometimes the blood just won’t wash away. So …

The Grand Son is a new film by Robert Logevall (All God’s Children Can Dance) about the strange and insular relationship between a woman Judy (Lesley Ann Warren: The Limey) and her two grandchildren, Tod (Rhys Wakefield: The Purge) and Lani (Fabianne Therese: John Dies at the End). The trio live …
