After 25 years since the last entry (1998’s Subspecies IV: Bloodstorm), everyone’s favorite long fingered vampire Radu (Anders Hove; General Hospital (!)) is back! This time though, in true super-hero fashion, it’s an origin story in the form of Subspecies V: Bloodrise, where we see how Radu became the miserable …

So far in my writing career, I’ve had the privilege of reviewing amazing films from all around the world and interviewing iconic legends that I never thought would happen. Recently, I had the the opportunity to talk with someone who has been a true horror inspiration since the ’80s and …

Awhile back, I reviewed the phenomenal indie horror slasher/comedy Take Back the Knife. Besides some minor technical issues, it was a hell of a debut for writer/director Matt Storc. Recently, I got the chance to sit and talk to Matt about his film, his influences, how to make an independent …
