Witchy horror has always been a sub-genre I love. And while The Wretched, world-premiering at Fantasia 2019 tonight, isn’t as thematically intriguing as most, it is one of the most frightening films I’ve seen all year…

As someone who’s worked in reality TV the better part of a decade, you should know if you don’t already: most of its fake. One sub-genre that’s about as real as the phantom projections in an episode of Scooby-Doo is the ghost hunter show. These shows are expert fabrications of a haunting, but Deadtectives explores what would happen if it all turned out to be real, with a comedic twist…

By now, many of you know who David Harbour is. Perhaps best known for his role as Hopper in Stranger Things, It’s no wonder that Netflix would continue to work with the charming star, but whatever they’re smoking, I want some, because Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein, is a whole different monster than anyone could have expected…
