Who doesn’t love a good mystery? For me, I love trying to figure out what is going on before the end of a film. Who did it and why? I think that’s one reason Scream is so iconic. We had to keep guessing who the killer was, and then at …

Sometimes in moments of solitude, we seek companionship in things that aren’t real. Sometimes, that comfort comes in form of an imaginary friend. But what if that imaginary friend was a bad influence? All this and more happens in the eerie new horror, Company.  Company is a 2017 horror fantasy short directed …

I remember a few years ago, I was watching Cabin in the Woods and thinking, “There needs to be a killer unicorn flick.” Last year, indie director Steve Rudzinski answered the call and delivered CarousHell, a film about a sentient carousel unicorn on a rampage. I reviewed this film for …

I can’t believe the holidays are just around the corner… 2017 went by way too fast! The plus side is that Halloween is this month. Thanksgiving soon follows and then there’s Christmas, the most “wonderful” time of year. One of my favorite things about the upcoming cooler weather is that I …

“A Dark Fairy Tale.” Parasomnia is one of my favorite films. The blend of mechanics, twisted dreamscapes, obsession and psychological flaws that we, as humans, all have, combine in a symphony of delicious horror with an obvious creep factor on many levels in a glorious Steampunk style. Parasomnia has potential to become …

Quiet Places is my first read by Jasper Bark. After reading this tale, this will definitely not be my last read by him. Quiet Places is a delightful mix of folklore and psychological terror, with a gripping story and convincing characters. It is a fable that will leave an impression and …

When I watched the trailer for Jackals, it seemed to me that this film was going to be The Strangers with the volume nob turned up 1,000 notches. Everything about it intrigued me. I have a bit of an obsession with cult-related things, and I could not wait to be able …
