When I was asked to review The Assignment, I went into it completely blind, having no idea what to expect as far as plot or even genre. After all, PopHorror is a horror-based review site, so I was definitely curious when I saw the poster featuring Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney …

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 …

When PopHorror published the article about the new horror movies being released this March, there were quite a few on there that I was excited about. With movies like The Belko Experiment, Raw and The Devil’s Candy showing up on this list, I knew March 2017 was going to be a great month …
