When word got out that director Ti West’s new movie, X, was coming soon and it was set to be released by A24, social media was plunged into a whirlwind of anticipation and delight. The news was everywhere. It was pretty much the only thing being talked about as this …

It’s time for SXSW 2022, horror fam! There are so many cool films being shown this year. One of them that caught my eye was Bill Posley’s Bitch Ass (2022). With a title like that, how could it not? Check out the synopsis: A gang initiation goes wrong when a …

An American Werewolf in London is one of the two greatest werewolf films ever made. (Hint: The other film came out in 1981, too.). There isn’t anything that I could say that hasn’t been said over the last 42 years since the film’s release. It’s more than a classic. It’s …

What do you get when you cross Steve Railsback (post Helter Skelter and pre Lifeforce) with a darker, 1970s version of Thirtysomething? You get Scott Mansfield’s Deadly Games. I have to call it a slasher because it has a masked killer and it came out in the sweet spot of …

It’s a spooky summer night around the campfire. The beers are flowing, the party is wild, and it’s time for a scary story to change the lives of some unfortunate, trespassing teenagers. This setup sounds like the perfect backdrop for a nostalgic horror movie, but very few do it like …
