Documentary Troublemaker – Antoine Fuqua gives us an emotionally turbulent but honest look over the life of Nelson Mandela. The film was helped by beautiful interstitial art and truthful reflections on Mandela’s life. For fellow Americans like myself, our schooling system did not teach us much about Apartheid, so this …

I have honestly been scouring streaming apps and was lucky to find The Man In The White Van. Although it didn’t sound interesting at first, I let my judgment go wild, and it didn’t let me down. The story is creepy enough, being filmed in the dark, in a remote …

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice arrived with enormous expectations and just as much baggage. Behind the scenes, it was a film caught between bold creative ambition and a studio unsure how far it was willing to go. In hindsight, that tension is baked into every frame. It’s a movie …

Two minutes after completing the final, captivatingly dramatic pages of Then We’ll Be Safe the new  psychological thriller by award winning author Jes Hart Stone, I’m left with, not just goosebumps, but a feeling only too familiar to the stories teenage fugitive leads – I WANT MORE! Such is the …

I remember hearing about Hatchet a few months before it came out and I thought that it sounded awesome. I couldn’t wait to see it because it sounded like it had some good old school 80s slasher flick vibes to it, so I went and bought a copy of it …

Anyone who intentionally chooses to watch CRACKCOON(2024) knows what to expect.  Luckily, the filmmakers embraced the schtick and has a blast with it. The film (along with dozens of others in the wake of Cocaine Bear) takes a ridiculous premise—a raccoon getting into a stash of illegal drugs and turning …

UNDERTONE (2026) is one of the more interesting horror films to come along in recent years, largely because it leans into a concept that feels both simple and fresh. Rather than relying on elaborate visuals or constant jump scares, the film builds its dread almost entirely through sound. It’s a …

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal approaches gothic mythology with a daring sense of authorship in The Bride! – a film that exhumes one of horror’s most recognizable legends and reshapes it into something electrifying. Gyllenhaal relocates the narrative gravity toward the figure who has long existed on the margins of the story, …
