Many of you would probably disagree with me in saying that, when done well, the Christmas season is more suited for disturbing horror than the obvious terrors of Halloween. There’s something about the under the surface, quiet loneliness, the ferocious bite of the winter air, and awkward family tension, all of which plays perfectly into IFC’s I Trapped the Devil…

I have a terrible confession to make: I’m not a fan of Dark Shadows. Not because I don’t like it, but because I’ve never actually had the pleasure of watching much of the tragic vampire, Barnabas, and his many horrific escapades. But Master of Dark Shadows, the new documentary on the beloved show, already has me anxious to correct that…

Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she decided to screw the maid and taker her case to court, where she ostensibly won. At least that’s how the poem goes in what feels like the 100th version of Lizzie’s story in Lizzie, premiering exclusively on Shudder…

If you’ve ever played Mortal Kombat and thought it would be better with Lovecraftian Elder Gods instead of a bunch of assholes from a pseudo-Hell, then Black Site is the movie you’ve been waiting for. At least, it tries to be…

Sometimes, dead is an opportunity to slap some pretty makeup on a corpse and say they look good as new, if not better. In the case of Pet Sematary, this is a fresh touch-up on a film long since buried, one that is a nicer looking return to horror basics…

We are in a new era of horror. One in which stories are being told that revolve around the mistreatment of basically every group besides white males.

Supposedly, Flay, dropping tomorrow on VOD via Phame Factory, was initially blocked from release by Sony Pictures, because of its vague similarities to Sony’s own film, Slender Man. Well, seeing as how the best part of Flay is its nifty, bloody title intro, I’d say that was a blessing in disguise, because Flay makes Slender Man look like a horror masterpiece…

Maybe it’s just me, but any time a film contains a well-made, practical FX creature, I’m going to be into it. Often times, that big scary monster is what saves an otherwise lackluster movie. Which is exactly the case with The Axiom…

The crowd is eager as I sit down for an advanced screening of The Wind at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. The film begins, and the excited anticipation of the audience quickly grows to stark terror as we are pulled into a speechless first ten minutes full of pain, dread, and the relentless howling of prairie winds…

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, except interesting, violent character studies that take an intricate look at the human condition and the pain caused by hatred and vengeance, as we see on full display in the upcoming film, White Chamber…
