Retro Reviews

Back on March 22, 2002, a new kind of werewolf film premiered at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers. A six-man squad of soldiers on a training mission in the Scottish wilderness come across an enemy that can’t be killed with even the most extreme …

Nosferatu was one of the first horror movies ever made all the way back in 1922. A lot of imitators have come out but none has been able to capture the spirit of the original.

It seems like only yesterday that millennials were flocking to the theaters to see Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence: Mother! 2017 – our review) volunteer as tribute for The Hunger Games, a twisted, annual competition that forces teens to fight to the death until a victor is named. However, March 23, …

Clint Howard just doesn’t get enough credit. I had almost forgotten how far back his horror career actually goes. When the Comet Channel started showing Night Gallery episodes, I found one he did one titled “The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes.” He shows up in the most unlikely of places, like …

Released in the US on February 3, 2012, The Innkeepers is one of my favorite films. The premise is simple but I love the psychological thrills of this film. It’s one I revisit quite often, and even though I know what happens, the film still manages to freak me out. …

On February 12, 1992, a dead fetus bent on vengeance was unleashed upon the world in Francis Teri’s The Suckling. Early in my horror fandom, I stayed within the borders of mainstream horror. I never ventured out too far, but when I got older, I began to explore more obscure …

Sure, many prefer the original Wes Craven film, but some still hold Chuck Russell’s Dream …

Released in the US on February 25, 1997, Brian Trenchard-Smith’s Leprechaun 4: In Space turns 25 this month. To celebrate, we have compiled a list of fun facts about the film. One small step for man. One giant leap for terror! Resurfacing on an alien planet, the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis: …

To be honest, I never really got Jim Carrey. Growing up, as friends obsessed over the 2000 live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas every holiday season and laughed hysterically at 1994’s The Mask, I’d force a chuckle or two. However, upon seeing the 2007 psychological thriller The Number 23, my opinion of …

Ten years ago on January 23, 2012, John Dies at the End lured me in with an absolutely irresistible title. It seemed fitting that Don Coscarelli should direct it. It isn’t just a horror film… maybe more of a horror comedy, or a horror sci-fi, but not horror alone. Coscarelli …
