Loneliness. Desperation. Isolation. These three things can lead someone on a crash course to bad decisions. With only their own thoughts for company, there’s no one to talk them down from the ledge – or away from the knife block. In Streamer, Jared Bratt’s (Hokum 2010) semi-autobiographical feature film, the frustration with being …

Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing three mother centered horror shorts for director Stephanie Hensley: A Mothers Choice, Mommy Said So, and Momma’s Boy. These shorts, along with two others and a wrap around story, form A Mother Knows Best, an anthology film that was just released on Mothers Day. …

When it comes to creature feature stories, few match the originality of interdimensional monsters spawned from the pen of H.P. Lovecraft.

Arrow Video just unveiled a handful of new Blu-ray releases for their August lineup and damn, is it an incredible lineup! There is one specific UK/US release that I want to bring to your attention. The film I want to mention is Lucio Fulci’s (The Beyond, City of the Living Dead) …
