As a rabid horror fan, I am always looking for a newer movie to watch, maybe something that I missed when it was released or something that went straight to VOD because of the pandemic. The Dare is yet another movie that I “put on for background noise,” but ended up on the edge of my seat, watching every minute of it with my undivided attention and hitting replay as soon as the end credits rolled. I’ve seen people complain that The Dare is just a Saw rip-off, and while I can definitely see the similarities, I found myself forgetting … Read More
Not All Miracles are Holy
Godforsaken Review
Godforsaken follows an independent filmmaker who is documenting his trip back to his home town to attend a high school friend’s funeral. But when Lisa seemingly comes back from the dead and starts performing miracles, the filmmaker and his friends try to uncover the mystery surrounding this resurrection. Some people thinks she’s God, and some think she is the devil. You’ll have to watch the movie and find out. I am a bit of a found footage freak. I’ve lost track of how many of these movies I have watched, but lets just say it’s quite a bit. If you … Read More

2LDK Review
Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for Japanese and Asian Cinema and Unearthed had been teasing a trinity of three that I needed to see. Yesterday, I finally got my hands on Unearthed Film’s blu-ray release of Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s 2003 film 2LDK and might I say, for as short as the film is, it is one hell of a wild ride. 2LDK stars Eiko Koike and Maho Nonami as two roommates who are competing over the same role and, unknowingly, the same man. What starts as a petty squabble over personal belongings and house rules quickly turns … Read More

Death Game Review
While most people were staying up till midnight on New Years Eve to watch the ball drop, I had stayed up to pre-order the newest offering from Grindhouse Releasing. With such titles as The Beyond, Cannibal Holocaust, and Gone with the Pope in their collection of films, what was the next gift they would bestow on us? That would be Peter S. Traynor’s 1977 psychological thriller Death Game starring Colleen Camp, Sondra Locke, and Seymour Castle. Taking place over a weekend in 1975, Death Game follows George Manning, a devoted family man celebrating his 40th birthday. On that fateful night, … Read More

Best Horror of 2021
Another year has come and gone, and it is now time to help spread the word of some of the best that the horror genre had to offer in film, television, and more. I actually somewhat dread making these lists year after year because there are plenty of things that I’ve either missed out on or just haven’t had the time to consume. I’m sure this list would look much different if I had actually gotten around to watching things like Darren Lynn Bousman’s Spiral, Scott Cooper’s Antlers, Valdimar Jóhannsson’s Lamb, or even M. Night Shyamalan’s Old. Keep that in … Read More

Werewolves Within Review
It’s been quite some time since my last written review, so I promise to do my best to even remember how to do this. I generally make it a point to watch as many Christmas-themed horror films as possible during the month of December every year. Thus, making it pretty odd that my return to written form would not fit that criteria even in the slightest. It does offer me some solace, however, that one of my favorite holiday-related horrors from last year was another of the wolfy persuasion (The Wolf of Snow Hollow). Here’s to hoping that that is … Read More
