The Endless Review
Last week, I wrote about a highly anticipated sequel, well-known to horror fans (see The Strangers: Prey at Night). Today, I get to talk about one that was even more highly anticipated for me, personally. Not because it is tied to a cult-classic franchise, but because of the filmmakers responsible for creating it. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have made two films that I have enjoyed immensely for different reasons, so I could not be more excited to see [...]

Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell Review
I can’t necessarily explain why, but I’ve always been a huge fan of franchises in the horror genre. The more sequels in a series, the better, I say. This is especially true in the current state of horror, or film in general really, where everything and anything is being given the remake treatment. Thankfully, instead of getting a Tremors reboot, we continue to receive films that expand the lore originally created almost 30 years ago with the release of the [...]
Spooky… Ain’t It?
Pulse Review
What is it that determines whether a film is deserving of a re-mastered re-release? Plenty of companies gain the rights to cult classics that fans long for in mighty Blu-ray HD quality or even 4k, more recently. While others seem to waste time on movies that don’t have any business living past their VHS-only existence. Where does the recent release of Paul Golding’s Pulse fall on this spectrum of horror gems? Read on and find out.

It Wasn’t Any Gopher
Phantasm Review
When I first started writing film reviews, I did it for pure enjoyment. I’d write about the acting performances, the special effects, and any other element that appeared on the surface of all films I was watching. Now, almost four years later, I’ve found myself using a more critical eye to try to turn films that I don’t necessarily enjoy into something that still presents some enjoyable traits. Sure, I still look at things like the actors and effects, but [...]
Talk About Area 51 in Manhattan
Spiders Review
I’ve seen some of the most vile and disgusting things in horror films. Decapitations, severed limbs, and even sex with the dead don’t make me cringe. Nope, leave that to spiders. That’s right. Not just any spiders, though. I’m talking the about gigantic alien spiders in Tibor Takacs’ Spiders 3D.
Twenty years after a Soviet satellite is shot into space, it breaches the Earth’s atmosphere and comes crashing through, landing right in the center of Manhattan’s railway system. The [...]
Do You Wanna be Friends?
Queen Crab Review
As much as I love watching horror films that are supposed to suck you in and get you enveloped in the events that are unfolding on screen, sometimes it’s more fun to just sit back and watch a silly flick. I don’t want to have to think all the time, so a movie that you can watch while ‘shutting off your brain’ is always a good thing. That is exactly what you get with Brett Piper’s sci-fi flick, Queen Crab [...]
