Bob Giordano is the director for one of my new favorite horror films, The Odds. It was definitely different from anything I’ve seen before and it’s quite empowering. I recently had the chance to talk with Bob about his career, his love for the horror genre, his new film, and …

If you know me, you know that I go all out for Women in Horror Month and this year I’ve decided to do the same for Pride Month, which is equally as important to me. Representation Matters. I know so many people who belong to the LGBTQ+ community who are …

I love reviewing films for festivals, because more often than not, I discover brilliant gems that I never would have found on my own. This year, 2019, is PopHorror’s first year covering anything for Fantaspoa, and I can already say that the festival definitely did not disappoint. I had the …

I recently had the opportunity to check out the newest horror thriller from RLJE Films, The Cleaning Lady, which was directed by Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer’s Jon Knautz, and then have a followup chat with the film’s executive producer, Jim Nelson.  I really enjoyed The Cleaning Lady, so it was …

This whole month, I’ve been trying to watch horror anime that demonstrates the range of the medium. We’ve had emotional stories, thrillers and impossibly weird non-linear storytelling, and all of it fits into one subgenre of horror or another.

In last week’s article on When They Cry (read that one here), we discussed this quintessential horror anime, which is full of hyperbolized emotions, wonky pacing, reliance on Japanese folklore, and environmental …

Giving it a distinct retro look by being shot on hearty 16mm, director Joe Begos’ newest filmmaking endeavor Bliss unveils the definition of addiction, with a vampiric facade. Showing addiction in the form of substances, to an artist’s work, and even through violent death and carnage, this film brings you …

I’m a huge fan of the Critters series. It’s probably second favorite horror franchise with A Nightmare on Elm Street coming in first. It’s fun, cheesy, and full of horrific mayhem that never grows old. So when I got the opportunity to interview actress Jocelyn Panton from Critters: A New Binge, …

Ever since the trailer dropped for Body at Brighton Rock I’ve been interesting in checking it out. The premise was interesting and the stills looked terrifying. Let’s just say you’ll never catch me in the wilderness alone by choice. This film was written and directed by Roxanne Benjamin as well …
