Out of all horror movies that have been released over the years, I’m still a sucker for  anything ‘80s. 1987 specifically was a great year; not only was it the year I was born, but it was also the year that a ton of scary flicks came out. For me, …

Writer/director Jeremy Saulnier’s sophomore film Blue Ruin (2013) was met with critical acclaim and brought him into the spotlight as a talented independent filmmaker.

Creatures lurking in the woods have always been a popular theme in horror. The idea of being isolated in the middle of nowhere with your own terrified thoughts and the unknown lurking around every corner never fails to give audiences an adrenaline rush. Filmmakers are always trying to develop new …

Turkey isn’t particularly well known for its horror movie output, until now: Baskin is a showcase of the potential that the country has to offer – but it has a way to go before becoming a serious contender on the world horror stage. Five policemen answer a distress call from a nearby …

I have a confession to make… I love Ryan Reynolds. Well, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love him? It’s clear that Ryan Reynolds is a very attractive man: Blake Lively knows it, I know it, you know it, my dog knows it…  But he has much more to offer beyond …
