If you aren’t aware of Lucio Fulci, I would take this time to suck in every movie you can. Envelop this genius of early 80’s gore. Folks rally around the “Fulci Lives!” slogan. There is a reason, and House by the Cemetery is one of them. I started on Fulci …

I have always been into werewolves and as such I am always on the lookout for great werewolf movies. While I love the better-known ones such as The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, and Ginger Snaps I have also run across a few that most people don’t know about …

Sweetness plays like a rock-and-roll odyssey filtered through psychological horror, evoking clear DNA from Misery but with a modern, youth-driven perspective. The film centers on obsession, fandom, and identity, themes that feel particularly relevant in an era where pop stars are elevated to mythic status through social media and parasocial …

I’ll be completely honest, I LOVE Wild Eye Releasing’s Visual Vengeance series. Overlooked and forgotten (sometimes rightfully so) low/no-budget SOV features from filmmakers who either went on to greater things, or flashed out completely.

I’m a huge fan of anthologies. I like how they offer a variety in their storytelling while usually being tied together by a theme. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten the chance to check out a good anthology so I was excited to check out the South Korean anthology film …
