I caught a special screening of Rob Zombie’s new movie 3 From Hell last night, special in the sense that it is only playing in theaters for three nights and it was the uncut, NC-17 version of the film. If you want to see it and haven’t done so already, you will have to […]
Rarely do I find myself in agreement with mainstream critics when it comes to horror films, but Us truly is one of the greatest and scariest horror films ever made. If you combine the sleazy grit of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the dark artistry of The Shining, you are getting close to how […]
I was curious about this film largely because of the vagueness of the marketing. I’ve been seeing trailers for this for quite some time now and I still had no idea what it was about as I headed into the theater. I knew it was a science fiction film starring Brad Pitt and that’s […]
Much like The Meg, I’m just amazed that this movie finally exists. Based on the manga (Japanese comic book), James Cameron bought the rights to make a Battle Angel film back in 1998, 20th Century Fox registered domain names for the film in 2000 and the movie was officially announced in 2003 with Cameron […]
I was really excited about this movie when it was first announced. You know why? The title. The bullshit misleading title. This is a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen and, when I heard the title Angel Has Fallen, I naturally assumed that this would be about Gerard Butler defending heaven […]
Have you ever watched Creature from the Black Lagoon and thought that it should be more pretentious and artsy? Well, here is The Shape of Water. Also, fuck you. Sally Hawkins stars as Elisa, a cleaning lady at a government facility in the early 1960s. The latest arrival at the facility is a […]
A couple of points to start: 1. It’s very odd that I’ve seen back-to-back evil doll movies with Child’s Play and now the new Annabelle. 2. After watching this, I realize that I was far too harsh on the new Child’s Play. If revealing that nothing, not a goddamn thing, happens in this movie […]
The Prodigy is the latest evil kid horror flick, following in the tradition of films like The Omen and The Bad Seed. That’s not exactly a fair comparison because one of my favorite things about The Omen and The Bad Seed is that stuff actually happens in them. Actually, a better comparison might be […]
Around this time last year, I labelled Suspiria as the worst horror remake ever made. I didn’t intend that as some sort of challenge, but apparently that’s how the makers of Black Christmas interpreted it. This is the closest that I have ever come to walking out on a movie. Black Christmas is a […]
Brightburn is the best horror movie that I’ve seen in quite some time and it has an amazingly simple and obvious concept: What if Superman was not a virtuous hero, but rather a psychopathic killer? We would all be fucked. That’s what would happen. The plot is the Superman origin story. A spacecraft […]
