Halloween (2018) brings Michael Myers back to theaters, and he’s scarier than ever. In this film, fans are faced with a broken Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) who is eagerly awaiting her opportunity to take back what was snatched from her 40 years previous. With the film being a direct …

Set during the housing crisis of 2009, Arizona is a pitch-black horror comedy about an angry suburban homeowner who, instead of directing his frustration into some sort of therapy or accepting any responsibility for the way his life is falling apart, murders his real estate agent, kidnaps another, and goes …

Lou Simon came onto my radar back in 2016 when I first saw All Girls Weekend. What stuck with me about this film was it was all women, made by a woman, with practical effects and enough of everything else to keep me interested. So when I was given the …

When I first saw the trailer for Who’s Watching Oliver, I immediately wanted to watch the film. The main character himself intrigued me the most. I expected the film to be sinister and gory. Was I right with these assumptions?  https://youtu.be/Z-xx20Tahic Who’s Watching Oliver is directed by Richie Moore as well …

Loneliness. Desperation. Isolation. These three things can lead someone on a crash course to bad decisions. With only their own thoughts for company, there’s no one to talk them down from the ledge – or away from the knife block. In Streamer, Jared Bratt’s (Hokum 2010) semi-autobiographical feature film, the frustration with being …
