PopHorror Let's Get Scared

Give me all the Christmas horror. Watching Christmas horror movies is one of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit. I don’t watch them year-round. No, I save them for this time of year. That’s what makes them so special. This year we’ve been given a new Christmas …

How many excellent films have been cast out as garbage simply because they’re remakes? How many remakes are excellently crafted stand-alone films that would shatter box office records if their predecessors never existed? This is a consideration I want you to make as we take another look at Gus Van …

Nicholas Gyeney’s surreal horror film, The Activated Man, premiered recently at Dances With Films Festival. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to check it out recently when PopHorror interviewed the folks behind the film (interview coming soon – stay tuned). What did I think? Watch the trailer below, …

I unabashedly love crazy films. The more “out there” and gonzo the better. Sometimes you just need to unplug your brain, take a break from the “artsy” stuff, crack a beer, and watch something so profoundly silly that you grin through the entire thing. Repligator, out now on Wild Eye …

I think filmmaker Darren Lynn Bousman (read our other interview with him HERE) is pretty versatile when it comes to his film projects. I mean, this is the guy who gave us four Saw movies (II, III, IV, and Spiral) but also a few cult favorite musicals like Repo! The …

With it, he made, along with co-directors Marcel Sarmiento (Totem) and …

I just read Family Til’ It Can’t Be, Gang Til’ It Ain’t by Chaz Williams, and I think he’s going to be making a name for himself rather quickly. Chaz Williams has a unique voice and style that I already cannot get enough of. He’s creating the genre of urban …

I’ve been meaning to read The Warrior Retreat by John Lynch for a long time. Recently a good friend and fellow reviewer told me it was in his top reads for the year, which was just the nudge I needed. I SHOULD NOT HAVE WAITED! This ended up being one …
