Shapeshifters With A Twist: Mick Garris’ ‘Sleepwalkers’ (2002) – Retro Review

Throughout the years, I have always enjoyed a good Stephen King story. I think we all have, but for me, one movie more than any other stands out in my mind as one of the most oddly underrated. So in leu of its anniversary, we are going to be celebrating …

Movie Review: Patrick Robert Young and Powell Robinson’s ‘Threshold’ (2021) Gets What It Gives

Admittedly, Threshold has an interesting technical concept as a horror/thriller combined with a road trip mumblecore/indie drama, improvised by the two leads and shot on two iPhones.

Cinepocalypse 2019 Review: A Talented Cast Full Of ‘Villains’ (2019)

Ever since Burn Notice and the second season of Fargo, I’ve been waiting for Jeffrey Donovan to get weird. He handled the running/jumping/falling down duties of the show admirably, but the true joy was watching him play the Identity of the Week, which was always some kind of South Florida …

Miles Doleac’s ‘Hallowed Ground’ (2019) Movie Review

When it comes to horror films, we all have our subgenres and niche weaknesses. Anything that comes out that fits our little obsessions immediately becomes a must-watch, sight-unseen. My heart sings for two things: Deadly Games and Horror Westerns. Give me Saw (2004) or Union Furnace (2015 – read our review …
