Back in 2003 a little indie film titled Thirteen premiered at Sundance and took the world by storm. Co-written and directed by Catherine Hardwicke (in her directorial debut), the film was loosely based on actress Nikki Reed’s (who helped co-write the script) life from ages 12-13. Controversial and troubling, Thirteen …

In the Apocalypse, Your Best Friend Could Be a Roach Disney is no stranger to having dark elements in their stories. Hell, Bambi traumatized several generations of children. Not me though, I was already effed up from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Aliens. So for WALL-E to be a …

“Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Don’t Look Back, Mommy’s Behind You…” Possessions, demonic curses, and ghosts make for some great movies, but do I believe in them? Nope. The thought of something so terrible happening in a particular place that it leaves energy behind seems arbitrary to me. I mean, bad …

Maybe it’s just me, but when a title is a complete sentence, I’m intensely intrigued. Then add Blumhouse with the blooming director Roxanne Benjamin who produced some of my all-time favorite horrors in V/H/S and V/H/S 2, and you have my full attention. Let’s take a look at the movie …

God is a Bullet, the new film by writer and director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook 2004) and based on the novel by Boston Teran, is pretty fantastic. Clocking in at just over two and a half hours, it’s gory and super violent. It’s nothing like Cassavetes’ previous work, but it’s …

If you’re an indie horror fan, you’ve probably heard of Author Gage Greenwood. His first book, Winter’s Myths, has made it to the top of many readers’ Top 10 lists since its release on June 5, 2022. The second book, Winter’s Legacy, was released only 7 months later, and fans …

If you’ve read my review of Gage Greenwood’s debut novel, Winter’s Myths, you’ll know how much I loved that book. I was just as impressed with sequel, Winter’s Legacy (review to come). Written as a multi-season serial, the tale of Winter and his children, Violin and Candlestick, captured me from …
