My first viewing of The Cellar was for its SXSW 2022 premiere. However, I finally get to share my thoughts with everyone now that it’s available to watch on Shudder. The film was written and directed by Brendan Muldowney (The Pilgrimage). It stars Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door, “24?), …

Randall Okita’s See For Me is about a blind teenage skier named Sophie (Skyler Davenport) who must fend off robbers while cat-sitting in a somewhat remote wealthy home. It is an interesting story because it gets its title from an app that she uses. See For Me lets a professional …

Weight of Guilt is an all-new, animated short film from Justin Bourne Boring and Tracy Allen’s SameDamnBrain Productions. It’s a five-minute peek into the mind of a weary, human survivor and his faithful dog as they navigate a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The vignette is the first incarnation of a larger story …

On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors (2022) is an out-of-this-world documentary by Seth Breedlove and Small Town Monsters. The film is directed by Seth Breedlove (On the Trail of Bigfoot 2021 – our review) and stars Shannon LeGro (On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky 2021 – our review). …

I have known about the folklore of the Jersey Devil since I was a kid. Like any weird kid, I grew up watching Scariest Places on Earth, and the show did a feature on the New Jersey cryptid. Now it’s the main focus of the new film, Reed’s Point, from Uncork’d …

I had no idea what I was diving into with Pete Oh’s Jethica but I sure am happy I tested these waters. Uniquely weaving genres and conjuring up a hilarious—and at times—heartwarming haunting, this story plucked heartstrings I didn’t intend to have exercised, let alone with a film running barely …

I have yet to read Chelsea Ichaso’s Little Creepy Things, but after reading Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets… I’m officially a fan of her work. This was the perfect young adult murder mystery. I’m a pretty busy woman, but I managed to read this in 2 days and I couldn’t …

The 1980s and slashers go together like peanut butter and jelly. Slashers from the ’80s have grown beyond a niche status and evolved into a nostalgic comfort for genre fans. Vinegar Syndrome has embraced this with one of their newest releases, the 4K combo pack of cult genre favorites, Schizoid …
