The announcement that Zack Snyder (300, 2006) would be remaking George Romero’s classic, Dawn of the Dead (1978) (read our retro review here) got a resounding, ‘that’s sacrilege!” from myself and my crowd, which, at the time, the only place we would be screaming this other than toward each other was …

Cults! They are there with open arms when your family and loved ones just can’t be bothered. Sure you have to give them everything: your possessions, your body, your soul, and maybe your life! But in all seriousness, this subject has spawned some of the best horror movies out there. You …

Abigail Cole (Ava Cantrell, Lights Out 2016) and Lucas Wright (Tren Reed-Brown, Unsung 2016) are quite the dynamic duo in the 2023 horror flick Abigail, directed by Melissa Vitello and written by Gunnar Garrett. While Lucas helps Abigail feel a sense of belonging and friendship after she relocates to Alabama, …

As a die-hard fan of Euro-sleaze films, my tastes usually veer towards the films of either Jean Rollin or Jesus “Jess” Franco. While Rollin, for the most part, stayed firmly in his vampire/supernatural lane, Franco’s films, however, careen every which way, from Nazi flicks to vampires, to period pieces, jungle …

I waited, pretty impatiently, for Joe Lynch’s new flick, Suitable Flesh (read our review HERE), to finish playing the festival circuit. The highly anticipated film boosting an amazing cast (Heather Graham, Barbara Crampton (read our interview with her HERE), Judah Lewis, Johnathon Schaech (read our interview with him HERE), Bruce Davison) …

Everyone needs a ride or die friend like Abigail…emphasis on the “die” part. In the 2023 horror/drama Abigail, the small-town life of bullied teen Lucas Wright (Tren Reed-Brown, Unsung 2016) is turned upside down when Abigail Cole (Ava Cantrell, Lights Out 2016) and her mother Eve (Hermione Lynch, Laced 2023) move next door, …

Offer me a book that’s being called a cross between Big Little Lies and Practical Magic, and I’m sold. This is how I came across the 2019 novel Sanctuary by author V.V. James (aka Vic James). Now a TV series airing Thursdays on AMC+ and Sundance Now, Sanctuary is a …

“Freaks” is an abnormal-yet-lovable 1932 American pre-code dramatic horror film directed by Tod Browning, based on Spurs, a 1923 story by Tod Robbins. The film tells the story of a group of circus performers, often referred to as “freaks,” and explores themes of acceptance, solidarity, and the consequences of cruelty. Much …

Back in 2009, Niels Arden Oplev (Flatliners – 2017) directed, what I think is, the superior film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. No hate towards the American version, but Niels’ Swedish/Danish vision, starring Noomi Rapace is just… Damn, it’s so good. It’s because of how it is …

Euro-sleaze. Exploitation. Cheesy European action flicks from the 80’s. Whatever you call it, or whatever category you want to lump it into—gimmie more! Back in the golden age of home video, trash was king! Jiggling femme fatales, roided out commandos in tropic jungles, Nazis, crooked cops, all of these and …
