Jordan Peele has done it again. If there was any doubt in your mind before, then the talented writer/director will surely erase that suspicion and cement himself as a modern master of horror with his sophomore feature, Us…

Ever since The Texas Chainsaw Massacre first came on the scene in 1974, horror filmmakers have searched for violent tools for their killer to use in slashers. But director Anthony Cooney may have found the most ridiculous one yet in Leafblower Massacre 2…

Every horror fan has those nostalgic films that helped guide them into the genre, sometimes with ease, sometimes by trial of blood-splattery fire. Either way, we cherish those films, like good friends who helped us in some way. For me, those movies were Christine, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and Critters, which is why I’m torn in saying that Critters: A New Binge, releasing on Shudder, both betrays the tone of the original franchise, yet opens the door for a new fan-base…

When I was a kid, I made a book of monsters, which was an A-Z picture book of creatures with terribly scribbled drawings for each one. I was particularly proud of my creativity (laziness) to leave a blank page for the Invisible Man. But I can easily say that this childish endeavor wasn’t nearly as cool as Book of Monsters, coming from Dread…

If you’re ever in the middle of the woods and you find a trap door leading into an underground bunker, whatever you do, don’t go inside! You might just run into the reincarnated zombie-spirit of a Nazi-killing soldier who wants your head because he thinks you’re a German. Best to just go ahead and walk away…

As a kid, I grew up in the cozy suburbs of Illinois, but had a lot family in rural Wisconsin. We would visit my grandparents there at least a couple of times a year, and something about being out in the middle of woods with people who were so obnoxiously nice that it was almost robotic, always put me on edge. These are two elements that 30 Miles from Nowhere gets so right. Unfortunately, it gets everything else so, so wrong…

This is why I don’t have kids…

I don’t even want to argue that genre isn’t at its best anymore. Horror and sci-fi could not be better right now. Why? Because the days of films being made exclusively by white men, for white men, are becoming less and less the norm. Women and minorities continue to make their voices heard through film with new stories and perspectives, continuing with Level 16…
