Thinking of sci-fi thrillers that include extra terrestrial beings, three come to my mind immediately. Those classic films are: Alien, The Thing, and more recently Pitch Black. All of these films not only explore humans dealing with the extra terrestrial itself; they also explore conflicts between humans, and sometimes the …

Before we start, I have to tell you: I’m a huge Adam Green fan. I discovered him through a friend on social media around 2004 or 2005. He was working on Hatchet (2006 – read our retro review here), his first feature, at the time. He was out pounding the …

The Divine Fury is a new South Korean action/horror film directed by Joo-hwan Kim (Midnight Runners 2017). The film stars Seo-joon Park (2036 Apocalypse Earth 2019), Sung-Ki Ahn (Radio Star 2006), Do-Hwan Woo (Saja 2019), and Woo-sik Choi (Train to Busan 2016 – read our review here). The Divine Fury hits …

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 …

I’m a sucker for long film titles. It might be a cheap trick to get my eyeballs on a movie, but a long title like The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears (2013) or Your Vice Is A Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972) just sucks me …

One thing we’ve been missing, though, is a mind-peeling, hair-whitening, balls-through-the-wall …

There are very few horror movies that affect me like the ones that come out of Japan. Steeped in the myths and folklore of the region and dripping with a pantheon of fears I don’t understand but feel with every inch of my skin, Japanese horror movies like Takashi Miike’s …

Level 16 comes from the creative mind of Danisha Esterhazy (The Banana Splits – upcoming). The movie was obviously a labor of love for her, as she both wrote and directed it. The story follows a gaggle of young girls in what is meant to be a boarding school. It …

“The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly …

I write a lot of news articles for PopHorror, but I don’t review a lot of films. After I wrote up the trailer and poster news for Terrifier, I knew that had to change. Dread Central’s latest film effort grabbed my attention from the word “go.” I had to track …
