Lucky McKee is one of my favorite indie filmmakers in the horror world. I adore The Woman and May and I couldn’t wait to check out his new thriller Kindred Spirits. Luckily for me, I got a chance to check it out at its World Premiere during the 2019 Cinepocalypse …

IFC Midnight is killing it with their releases this year, so when I heard about Trespassers (formerly known as Hell Is Where The Home Is), I was definitely intrigued. However, home invasion movies are a dime a dozen, and it often feels like once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. …

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 …

When I got word that I was going to be interviewing James Gallanders for his new film, Project Ithaca, I jumped at the chance. He was in Bride of Chucky! But that aside, I was intrigued about his new flick, and speaking to the star would make it even better. …

I’ve seen this episode of MacGyver before. It’s the one where he’s minding his own business in the ambiguously Canadian woods until some ne’er-do-wells drag him into a scheme involving duffel bags of ransom money and broken home melodrama.

I love reviewing films for festivals, because more often than not, I discover brilliant gems that I never would have found on my own. This year, 2019, is PopHorror’s first year covering anything for Fantaspoa, and I can already say that the festival definitely did not disappoint. I had the …

I recently had the opportunity to check out the newest horror thriller from RLJE Films, The Cleaning Lady, which was directed by Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer’s Jon Knautz, and then have a followup chat with the film’s executive producer, Jim Nelson.  I really enjoyed The Cleaning Lady, so it was …

Greta (2018), directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game 1992), centers around a young girl, Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz: Carrie 2013), who meets and befriends a lonely widow named Greta (Isabella Huppert: Elle 2016). However, unbeknownst to Frances, Greta is harboring a dark agenda. Once Frances starts to see signs …

Ever since the trailer dropped for Body at Brighton Rock I’ve been interesting in checking it out. The premise was interesting and the stills looked terrifying. Let’s just say you’ll never catch me in the wilderness alone by choice. This film was written and directed by Roxanne Benjamin as well …
