Okay, well maybe not exactly “fun.” I guess it depends on what all you’re into, and badass women and post-apocalyptic marauders happen to be at the top of my list. With some of these retro reviews, I feel like some kind of champion for films that were mostly unloved at …

Even after forty years, Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) still has the ability to astound and thrill. Making its stateside debut on May 21, 1982, George Miller’s (Mad Max 1979 – our retro review) post-apocalyptic actioner made an international megastar out of twenty-six year-old Mel Gibson (Lethal Weapon franchise) and …

I recently had the opportunity to check out the new science fiction thriller film, Last Survivors, which premiered at Fright Fest at the end of October. The film was directed by Drew Mylrea and written by Josh Janowicz. It stars  Stephen Moyer, Alicia Silverstone, and Drew Van Acker and centers …

I have to admit, it’s scary out there right now, but I believe it’s going to get better! Sure, there’s some uncertainty, and it’s hard to know who you can trust, but at least we have movies to tide us over while we wait. Go ahead and get yourself lost …

Do you have a plan for the apocalypse? Neither did Josh Wheeler, but that didn’t stop him from having the time of his life! Based off of a 2011 graphic novel by Bryan Ralph, Daybreak tells the story of Josh (Colin Ford: Under the Dome TV series) as he navigates …

I Think We’re Alone Now is a visual story told mostly through the eye of the camera. It follows Del (Peter Dinklage: Game of Thrones) in a post-apocalyptic future where everybody is dead. There is no electricity and the dead litter the streets. Del lives in a small town and is …

Here at PopHorror, we are huge fans of Yuletide terror. From ’80s classics like Silent Night Deadly Night, guilty pleasures like Santa’s Slay and Jack Frost, and modern indie films like Stirring and All Through The House, it’s something that even the biggest Scrooges in our writing staff can’t help …

I really dig post post-apocalyptic stories. There is something about the world as we know it ending that brings out the best and worst in humanity. It makes for compelling storytelling. A couple months ago, I saw the trailer for the film Molly, and it looked amazing, and now, I’ve finally …

While I tend to enjoy post-apocalyptic films, they have been overdone lately, a slew of more of the same and less of something new. When I heard about the post-apocalyptic film, Hostile, it sounded like something with the potential to put a fresh spin on a well-worn genre, and I knew …
