PopHorror Let's Get Scared

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was not designed to be a critic’s darling. Not only was it more disgusting than the original film (which actually garnered acclaim), but its sick sense of humor was more blatantly obvious. Part of that humor is in its poster, which ought to be considered …

My ears always perk up every time a new title from DREAD is on the way. The label formerly known as Dread Central Presents has quickly become one of the most consistently solid teams around, dropping killer titles (Terrifier, Extremity, Slay Belles, Dry Blood, etc.) virtually every time. The latest …

Every week, PopHorror picks a horror movie and tries to find a risky or unexpected double feature. We write up our reasons, and then take to social media to find out if our pick is a great night at the theater or a disappointing double bill! Will It Work? See …

Sheila McCarthy has always been one of my favorite actresses. From Die Hard 2 to The Umbrella Academy, she always shines brightly with every role she takes on. I’m happy to see her doing several projects right now including the new horror film Isabelle. I was lucky enough to have …

I’ve always considered myself a huge Tarantino fan. I am well aware that some people think he’s a ripoff artist and a hack… some of those people are my friends. However, I have personally loved all of his films, even his segment in the anthology, Four Rooms (1995), where he …

A few months back, we had the opportunity to review Freaks and interview Emile Hirsch, and it was quite the experience. However, I personally never got to see the film, so when the opportunity came for me to review it for Fantasia 2019, I jumped at the chance. I absolutely …

It’s been a pleasure covering films for Fantasia 2019. In my opinion, this has been one of their best years yet and I saw so many wonderful films. However, my favorite was hands down, Riot Girls. Riot Girls is a fucking blast from beginning to end. A female version of …
