Mythology has always been a tool for explaining the things we cannot put into words ourselves. Things too terrible, too awesome, too big for us to understand. One of the most fascinating things about them, to me, is their ability to be both incredibly versatile and ever-changing, and yet static at the same time...

Automation, directed  by Garo Seiten, written by Seiten with Matthew L. Schaffer, and Rolfe Kanefsky, is a movie about robots who are replacing the human staff at a company. Auto (so creatively named) is the current robot working and he is also being replaced. When he learns of this, he goes on a mission to save his job through violent and deadly actions...

For every film fan there is a widely unknown movie that defined their childhood. Everybody loves Aliens, Jaws, and Star Wars, but for all film fans there was that one, unknown gem that nobody else had ever seen. The fan would rent the film over and over again and even reenact scenes from memory...

Happy Thanksgiving horror family! It's that time of year again when we reflect on all that we're thankful for, and in the horror community, there was certainly a lot to get our fangs drooling and our bones rattling over this year...

​Happy holidays to everyone in the horror community! Our beloved Halloween has come and gone and now we experience a bit of a lull in seasonally motivated scares while we wait for the winter and Christmas themed movies to emerge [we need more Chanukah movies]. As we patiently wait for the onslaught of snowed-in and/or Santa inspired films, you have to ask “why” the list of Thanksgiving horror movies remains so short...

When Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell)'s son dies at thirteen weeks old, they adopt the transitive object therapy of caring for a baby doll in its place. The Servant, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, tells the creepy story of Dorothy going back to work after maternity leave, and hiring Leanne (Nell Tiger Lee), a religious girl of mysterious origin, to care for their surrogate son...

After a long and arduous journey from idea to conception-  In Search Of Darkness, written/directed by David A. Weiner, finally played on a big screen at this year's Beyond Fest...

The Dwelling, directed by Jeff Maher, is a tale of a cursed bed that kills anyone who leaves it after they touch it. It is a mixed and muddled story that happens to have some surprising strengths in imagery and the acting of its two leads, but it is too uneven for those elements to carry it beyond its very obvious flaws...

If you were to look at the cover art for Lionsgate’s The Driver, you’d see star Mark Dacascos (The Driver), standing in all black, holding a gun, with a grey background and nothing else, and it might be fair for you to think this is just another knockoff action film. But you’d be wrong. Because The Driver is just another knockoff action film, but with zombies!...

I’ve never hitchhiked. And that’s not just because of my common sense. Movies like The Hitcher (1986) and Road Games (1981) made sure I’d be too scared to ever offer my thumb or anything else on the side of the road. While I wouldn’t exactly say the hitchhiking subgenre is popular now, it was something that moviegoers took a ride with throughout the 70s/80s thanks to murder cases around the states, and the dissolving trust in our fellow humans...
