Imagine two scenarios: You and your better half are invited to a retreat in a remote setting with an old friend and their new spouse but upon arrival, you discover you are being watched and possibly even hunted. Second: you're invited to a weekend retreat but as soon as you get there, you discover that your old friend cannot make it and you're going to have to hang out with some guy you just met. I know which one I would pick but for the protagonists in Making Monsters they have to suffer through both...

Most Americans will be able to cite why the 1970’s were a turbulent time of change for the United States. Vietnam. Watergate. Increasing social change as a result of the Civil Rights and sexual liberation movements of the 1960’s. What fewer people may know, however, is just how equally tumultuous events were across the Atlantic in many European nations, particularly Italy. While the 70’s were a peak decade for Italian cinema, they were also the apex for domestic terrorism, state corruption, and rampant violence…

People do some pretty messed up stuff. That's just a fact. We screw each other over. We hurt each other. And in the most dire of situations, we're even pretty willing to kill each other. Harpoon, the latest film from writer/director Rob Grant​, explores some of the worst of humanity...

“I submit for the approval of the Midnight Society…” If you grew up in the 90s, these are words you probably heard often. As the opening line to each story in the popular Nickelodeon kid’s horror anthology, Are You Afraid of the Dark, I would sit, eyes glued to the TV, waiting to discover what that week’s episode would be.

The human brain has the ability to alter reality based on how we interpret the world around us, but it can also be manipulated by outside forces into seeing things a certain way as well. So, when faced with extraordinary circumstances, can we ever really trust what’s around us? Fractured is a devastating portrayal of what happens when reality and imagination become indiscernible…

​Isolation has always been one of my biggest fears. I’ve never told anyone that, but it feels like an appropriate admission for this review. Sure, I like peace and quiet and I would probably quite enjoy some time away in an isolated area of the woods. I don’t want to get too far away from society, though. What if something awful happens and you can’t get any signal on your cell phone? What if your car just won’t start?  These things happen all the time in the horror genre, but Resonance plays upon these fears…

I can’t remember when I first caught a glimpse of the trailer for Michael Goi’s (American Horror Story, Scream Queens), Mary, but I assumed it was just another movie about The Queen Mary and its many reported hauntings. When I sat down to watch the film, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that was not the case…

Discovering a new holiday horror film is like unwrapping a gift. It’s linked to a special occasion, there’s a tingly sense of giddiness at what awaits, and even though the outside might look sleek and shiny, there’s no guarantee that the contents will be enjoyable, but hey, at least it’s something, right?...

“I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves,” a quote from perennial art school favorite and famed German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, begins our tumble down the rabbit hole in Gregor Schmidinger’s Nevrland, which played this past weekend at the Salem Horror Fest…
