Canadian filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly (This Beautiful City 2007, Small Town Murder Songs 2010) didn’t have much luck entering the horror field when he made The Last Exorcism II in 2013, a film mostly forgotten by genre fans. Four years later, Gass-Donnelly is back with psychological ghost story Lavender. Did he …

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta… well, not always. Written and directed by Keith Sutliff (Tempting Fate 2014), The Mason Brothers shows you the horrors of when things go wrong. In this tale, a quartet of bank robbers, led by Ren Mason (Sutliff), are foiled by a rival …

Going into BB, I expected little more than some indie dross cobbled together by a no-talent hack whose abilities were far below those of a troglodyte. But writer/director C.J.

When I first heard about a horror movie that involved Shannen Doherty and Tom Green, as well as directed by one of the best up and coming directors in the horror industry… I was sold! I was fortunate to view Bethany with an early screening and I was not at all disappointed. Let’s …

I’ve developed a true passion and appreciation for horror shorts: the more I watch, the more I fall in love with them. A few weeks ago, I reviewed Slit – the Japanese horror short by Pablo Absento and was blown away by the experience. With Women in Horror Month coming to an end, …

In The Mouth of Madness (1994) is a somewhat forgotten John Carpenter (The Thing 1982) movie save for a few memes circulating the internet today. Why is that? It doesn’t get much play time on television and good luck finding it on Netflix. It is a shame, too, because this movie happens …

Over the past few weeks, I’ve watched several that were directed, written, produced, and starring powerful and inspirational women. It’s been quite the experience and I’ve loved every second of it.
