PopHorror Let's Get Scared

If National Lampoon’s Alien Vacation was a movie, it might go something like this, but maybe with a lot more of Chevy Chase’s crazed antics. However, this movie goes darker than expected with some twists and turns and it looks remarkable, but sadly Wellwood doesn’t cover any new ground. The …

The “based on true events” film trend of the mid to late 1970’s provided for some truly unhinged cinematic moments, none more crazy than 1977’s Blue Sunshine. With an all inclusive (seriously!) new 4K Ultra set from Synapse Films, it’s a perfect time to revisit this, often overlooked, quirky little …

Dean Puckett’s The Severed Sun initially seemed like a period piece. However, the year was never clarified. Either way, the movie caught me with a mean right hook. This film had two strikes against it at first. I am not a big fan of horror from the UK, and I …

I love when movies or shows are adapted from books. I think it opens people up to reading and introduces people to all these amazing authors and their works. Murderbot, a new series on Apple TV+ based on the first book of The Murderbot Diaries, All Systems Red, by Martha …

If you’re like me, you can never get enough of the Alien franchise. Through hits, misses, and big misses, we’ve all stood by the films from 1978’s Alien to 2024’s Alien: Romulus. This summer, the franchise is going somewhere it’s never gone before: to television! FX network and Hulu, both …

His name is a whispered legend. Lucio Fulci comes from a time when Italian horror was making waves in the genre. We are introduced to hilarious voice-overs and some over-the-top kill scenes from movies like City of the Living Dead. Movies that could easily be considered schlock, and these movies are …

Unit 234, written by Derek Steiner and directed by Andy Tennant (Ever After; Sweet Home Alabama; Hitch) is a solid and effective thriller that really exceeded all of my expectations. Starring Isabelle Fuhrman (read our interview with her HERE) and Don Johnson, the entire film takes place at a storage …

Compression is a film that was personally recommended to me by Matthew Packman. Recently, I had an opportunity to review two of his films, Real Cool Time (read my review here) and The Ghost That Wouldn’t Die (read my review here), both are short film sequels to his feature film Morbid …
