​There’s only one thing wrong with the Turner baby...

Open up your closet and look at the clothes there. If you’re like me, you’ll find a wardrobe mostly consisting of horror tees and ripped jeans, but I’m assuming you’re not a bum like me, so regardless of whatever is in there, those clothes define you. They make you who you are. But how much do you know about their histories? Where have they been, who have they been on, and what’s that weird stain…these are the questions that set up the strange premise for In Fabric…

Every now and then, I go into a film completely blind. Blind to the trailer, blind to the writer and director, I shield myself from promotional materials and most importantly, critical reception. By practicing this, I come away from a film without the expectation of quality or pointing out what a peer of mine has said about it. By closing myself off from all the noise, I can experience a film on its own terms and not external influences...

Sentimentality is often maligned or treated as a negative thing in the genre of Horror. It frequently becomes the reason why a film isn't "scary," or why it isn't "horror". However, sentimentality is what makes Daniel Isn't Real one of the most truly horrific films this reviewer has seen in the past decade, or more. Far from being detached, cold, or clinical, Daniel Isn't Real is raw...

When we get dressed in the morning, we may not be aware of it, but the clothes we put on have a history. Whether we’re the first to own them, or they’ve been passed through time to end up in our closets, each and every article of clothing has a past. A past that might shock us. This is where the premise for In Fabric begins…

Once upon a time in the good old days of 1270 BCE, priests sacrificed Canaanite babies to the god Moloch in the lake of fire to ensure good crops. However, not all of the children perished in the fire and the ones who survived drank from Moloch’s chalice and were kept alive to continue the demon-god’s wishes...

So, this year a particular theme seems embedded in quite a few of the newly released horror films.  This theme is in no way a new concept and in fact the plot style actually takes its name from a short story written in 1924 by Richard Connell called “The Most Dangerous Game.” For those unfamiliar with the story, the premise involves hunting humans for sport...

​Most of us have heard the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” It’s old and possibly trite, but it’s a true little collection of words. Although not nearly as novel as your sweet librarian reminding you of that principle, applying it to film is just as relevant. Not judging a film by its poster should be cemented in our cinephile brains just as firmly...

Mythology has always been a tool for explaining the things we cannot put into words ourselves. Things too terrible, too awesome, too big for us to understand. One of the most fascinating things about them, to me, is their ability to be both incredibly versatile and ever-changing, and yet static at the same time...

Auto (so creatively named) is the current robot working and he is also being replaced. When he learns of this, he goes on a mission to save his job through violent and deadly actions...
