My ears always perk up every time a new title from DREAD is on the way. The label formerly known as Dread Central Presents has quickly become one of the most consistently solid teams around, dropping killer titles (Terrifier, Extremity, Slay Belles, Dry Blood, etc.) virtually every time. The latest …

Welcome back, victims, for our second ever FEAR HAUS weekly recap. I hope you’ve recovered from last week’s descent into the depraved depths of American Hell (recap for that episode here). But if you’re expecting mercy from our malevolent mistress of the macabre, Blair Bathory, you clearly don’t know Blair (read …

Released on May 27, 1988, the Chiodo brothers’ Killer Klowns from Outer Space turns 30 this month. Somehow, this movie has only gotten bigger and better with age! To celebrate this 3 decade milestone, PopHorror takes a look back at this horror comedy and reminds us all while we’re still …

In the mystery/drama film They Look Like People, a troubled man named Wyatt suspects people around him are turning into evil creatures, and wonders if he should protect his only friend, Christian, from an impending war or from himself.

Black Mountain Side, a 2014 Canadian horror thriller directed by Nick Szoztakiwskyj, follows a team of researchers unearthing a strange object in the stark and frigid Canadian Taiga.

To start with, my first exposure to Reptilicus was through the Mystery Science Theater 3000 revival of April 2017. As one might expect, the new guys …

One of my favorite things that I get to do after viewing a movie is having the opportunity to get inside the director’s head and hearing about some of the backstory that took place during filming. I recently got to sit down and have a quick chat with director Dagen Merrill and …

Critics all seem to hate Mimic 2. I seem to like it. It’s commonly said that everyone’s a critic, so what the hell does that make me? Set in some downtrodden inner city high school, Mimic 2 is about a major roach problem — a man-sized, man-mimicking roach problem! At …

Sometimes you’ve heard about a movie for what seems like forever and you can’t get your hands on it. This is what happened to me with the movie The Girl. You can imagine how excited I was when I was looking at the upcoming new releases brochure – yes, I …

If it ain’t a remake/reboot disgracing your local theaters, then it’s studio execs second favorite cash cow: the prequel. Despite prequels claiming to tell the story before the story, they seem more like ways to remake a flick without the stigma of being a remake. At least that seems to …
