Recently premiering at Shriekfest, Portal follows a group of “ghost hunters” trying to find the perfect haunted house for their TV series. As the film crew arrives on location to film the show “Ghost Seekers”, the team begins questioning the methods of their director because both money and ghosts fail to appear. Steven, played by Ryan Merriman (Final Destination 3) believes in the integrity of his show and refuses to film any fabricated ghosts and instead wants only to record real supernatural encounters. While this approach gives his show a different spin from all the other paranormal investigation and found footage shows, it also makes his TV series a lot more boring... 

One Night in October describes itself as The Purge meets Creepshow, but this anthology film doesn't live up to either. The three semi-interwoven stories in One Night in October, written and directed by Christopher M. Carter, are fun, but leave the audience wanting more. Each seemingly takes place on the same night in October…

It’s that time of year again when myself and many other horror enthusiasts get to relish in the indulgence of Halloween horror cinema. Granted, we celebrate ghosties, ghoulies and things that go bump in the night all year round, but for one month, we’re offered more than our regular dose of horror. While kids are gearing up to fill their pillow cases with candy, we’re filling our streaming queues with horror flicks and sometimes whipping out those old DVDs and Blu Rays. My latest horror outing was Maria Lee Metheringham’s new Halloween genre film, Pumpkins. Although an avid fan of the horror genre, it’s certainly oversaturated. Does Pumpkins have the guts to stand out from the many others?...

Writer Chris Kobin’s and director Ashley Hamilton’s Gothic Harvest is proof that attaching recognizable names to a project does not a good film make…

If you’re not into the kind of movie that gets labeled “so bad it’s good”, you can probably stop reading right now. But if you are, then come, friend, and let me tell you about a little movie called The Drone…

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. Now, Nickelodeon has submitted for the approval of all Midnight Society fans a reboot of the show, and I’m thrilled to say, they nailed it…
