 Actress Lin Shaye has been on a roll as of late. Having appeared in over two hundred projects, including the highly popular Insidious franchise, it’s odd that she hasn’t previously been recognized as much for her outstanding performances. Room for Rent gives Shaye a chance to flex her acting chops, but without much payoff…

 Whew. Let me tell you, those that are aching to watch a thrilling horror film starring a female character who is both fun and empowering may have had their wish granted with Body at Brighton Rock. But that does not mean this tale of survival and perseverance is without its flaws…
 The horror genre has always had a fascination with witchcraft. Films like The Craft or the recent The Witch have had great success, but few have taken the tragic, brooding path into the folklore surrounding witchcraft as Hagazussa...
 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…
[Review] 'Master of Dark Shadows' will have fans wanting to sink their teeth into the classic show4/15/2019  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.

 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. From Revenge to Get Out, these are stories that need to be told, and it’s about time we’re seeing them begin to flood the screens. Blood Craft is just the latest, with mixed results…
 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…
