On paper and poster, Soldier of War is what you’d get if an author like Robert McCammon wrote First Blood.  An undead vet who doesn’t know World War II is over wages guerrilla war on the local police with a knife and sticks. In execution, it’s not quite the sum of …

Fuck. Sorry, but that’s really about the best I can manage at the moment, with my jaw still on the floor. I probably don’t need to tell fans of the series that the John Wick 3: Parabellum trailer dropped today, and it promises 110% of the wonton gratuitous violence we’ve grown to …

“We’re kind of in a decadent era of horror because almost every filmmaker, certainly in the United States, that’s working in horror today, is always trying to express a debt to a prior generation,” said the world’s greatest and only drive-in movie critic, Joe Bob Briggs, in an interview with …

It all blends together in a fun, yet campy, sci-fi/horror/action flick. The Rizen was written and directed by …

There are times in your life where an event happens and you can recall exactly where you were at that moment. Fangirls across the world remember as they wailed in unison for the passing of Glenn Rhee from The Walking Dead. When I saw that he was involved in another …

“IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE TERROR BEGINS.” In our second part of the three part look into classic vampire movies (part one is here while part three is here), PopHorror is taking a look back at Lifeforce, an ’80s cinematic sci-fi horror with elements of romance, action and mystery, and is …

While action films featuring terrorist attacks are not typically thought of as horror, the idea of terrorists plotting to throw our society into chaos is a terrifying prospect. At times, it is easy to think the world is on the edge of loosing its mind with a constant barrage of …
