A few years ago, we were gifted a film from the George A. Romero Foundation that found its way onto Shudder. The Amusement Park (our review) is an extremely uncomfortable look at aging in a world that keeps going. The film was meant to be an infomercial on respecting the …

John Carpenter is my favorite director, and it’s not particularly close. Classics like The Thing, Halloween, and Escape From New York are firmly entrenched on my Top 10 Films of All Time. In some way, just about every Carpenter film holds a special place in my heart, including the oft …

If you read a lot of my reviews, you will know that British horror isn’t my thing. At all. But I am willing to watch anything once, because I just love the genre that much. I never want to be let down. Unfortunately there are some movies out there that …

One night back when I was in high school, I was hanging out with some friends, and we had to stop at a gas station to get some gas before we went out and did whatever for the evening. This gas station also rented movies, and as I was looking …

The Bondsman marks the long-awaited return of Kevin Bacon to genre television, and it’s honestly great to have him back. Fans of The Following—which also starred the excellent James Purefoy—will definitely feel a little nostalgic seeing Bacon dive into another dark, weird, and stylish world.

With a solid voice cast, eye-catching visuals, and a nostalgic soundtrack, the series hits a lot of the right …

Michael Pierro’s Self Driver is a movie I was a bit torn on when I first planned on writing this review. Like a dozen times before, I was left fulfilled and content. I don’t exactly know what I was expecting, I thought maybe some lame movie where someone drives around …

A first date can be one of the scariest things ever, especially when it’s also the potential couples’ first meeting. That’s the premise in Christopher Landon’s newest horror film, Drop. Confined to (mostly) one location, Landon uses an expansive restaurant to weave a tale of revenge and extortion into the …

Terminal, the 2018 thriller noir film, stands out as one of the most underrated  films I’ve encountered recently. Despite its mixed reviews, I believe Terminal  deserves more appreciation for its gripping storyline and impressive performances by a star-studded cast. Plot Set in a train terminal during the night, Terminal weaves …
