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…

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…

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…

Sometimes dead is better…

Conformal Cyclic Cosmology. This is a theory suggesting events in the remote future co-exist with events in the past, essentially defining “here” and “there” as being the same. If that statement sounds confusing to you, then Tangent Room is not the movie for you…

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…
