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 …

Last year, I had the honor of interviewing Maria Olsen, an awe-inspiring actress who has indeed excelled in her field. She is recognized worldwide for her outstanding achievements in the acting field for her 200+ roles, including in Rob Zombie’s Lords of Salem (2012 – read our review here), I …

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 …

Not since the halcyon days of Bruce Li/Lai/Le has there been a motion picture sold on the intentional deception of its star looking like some other guy. Considering I first caught wind of Death Kiss from a headline that announced Charles Bronson’s return to acting (and from the grave), the …

I just had to pick my jaw up off the floor after watching Shane Ryan’s indie film, Guerrilla. It was that good. Described as “A 1980s adventure horror story,” the short film is just that. Although it’s only 13 minutes long, Guerrilla packs a lot of punch in its small run …

Women In Horror Month is an exciting time! I’m truly honored to promote local talent Maria Olsen, a true indie actress who has reached beyond her goals and accomplished her dreams. It was a pleasure to talk to her as my first interview for WIHM. Maria Olsen is South Africa’s own star …

As soon as I saw the synopsis for Darken, I knew this was the type of film I would like. I love films that take me to new worlds, especially ones that are just a hair removed from our own. I decided to go in blind and not watch the …

Connor Strader (Misfortune Teller, Black Magic) is back with an all new short horror film with a “Go Green” message: Bag Man! Indie production company American Projects unveiled the all-new slasher villain in the teaser trailer for their upcoming short film earlier this month. Bag Man is set to drop on August 5, …

As the old adage says, “What’s understood doesn’t have to be explained.” Basically, the product should speak for itself otherwise the repercussions could be fatal. Parasites doesn’t just speak for itself; it yells proudly and for good reason. This is a film that has it all – the main reason …
