When I was twelve, I was a huge Transformers mark, so I was beyond excited when I heard that they were making a movie. The day before school started my mom took me to a matinee to see it and I was just full of nervous energy and completely stoked …

I remember watching The Others for the first time. It was with my mother, who has an uncanny ability to guess the ending of everything we watch without many clues. I had an idea in my head of what was occurring throughout this dark, mysterious and unnerving film, yet thought …

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a movie that will always be in my heart. I still watch this film at least 20-30 times a year. It heals me, one big campy tale of an iconic killer with some humor and new characters. It’s more of a story with carnival tricks …

Popularized by Together, the metaphor of demons inside of toxic relationships is a fascinating and relatable idea. But two years before Together, we saw the release of Kill Your Lover. Let’s look at this hidden gem and see …

I watched Cruel Hands twice, because admittedly, it is a movie that requires focus to really sink your teeth into. However, once you submit yourself to focusing on the intensely themed plot of the film, you will absolutely be immersed. The craftsmanship and detail of Cruel Hands is only truly …

Lights Out is a supernatural horror film directed by David F. Sandberg and written by Eric Heisserer. Produced by James Wan, whose success with The Conjuring helped redefine modern studio horror, the film became one of the standout horror releases of the 2010s. It is based on Sandberg’s 2013 viral short …
