I was recently having a virtual stroll around some “underrated and obscure horror movies” post someplace, and saw someone offhandedly mention a British film from the 1980s that I had never heard of. I can’t remember what the person said about it, but it was enough to pique my interest to the point where I … More Movies: The Appointment (1981)
As I mentioned in my recent review of Backrooms, I’m trying to cram in as many new horror films as I can before the end of the year, and of course that meant finally checking out the ridiculously profitable and culturally ubiquitous film Obsession (which at this writing is the highest-grossing horror film of 2026 … More Movies: Obsession (2025)
As y’all know, it’s already frickin’ October (not that I’m complaining, mind you; it’s my favorite month), and I realized with alarm that the end of the year would be here before I knew it and I hadn’t yet seen most of the big, talked-about horror movies of 2026. So for the next few weeks … More Movies: Backrooms (2026)
I first saw The Witches of Eastwick when it came out in theaters in 1987, and I absolutely loved it; something about its delightful mix of dark comedy, occult fantasy, sexy glamor, and Jack Nicholson’s unhinged scenery-chewing struck all the right notes for me, and I ended up watching the thing dozens of times subsequently … More Book vs. Movie: The Witches of Eastwick
I’m pretty sure I saw the 2000 supernatural thriller What Lies Beneath in theaters back when it came out, and I remembered liking it quite a bit. Just in the last few months, for whatever reason, I sort of got a hankering to watch it again, and though it moved around on various streaming services … More Movies: What Lies Beneath (2000)
Time once again to dive back into Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff, and this time around, we’re discussing season 2, episode 10, “The Closed Cabinet.” Based on an anonymous short story that was published in Weird Tales in May 1923 (and may have been floating around for a while before that), the episode was adapted … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 2, Episode 10 – “The Closed Cabinet”
Liminal horror really seems to be having a moment, especially with the roaring success of Backrooms (which I still haven’t seen as of this writing; don’t fret, I’ll get around to it), and I started to notice that several discussions of other liminal titles inevitably ended up mentioning the Japanese psychological horror film Exit 8, … More Movies: Exit 8 (2025)
Next up on the Night Gallery docket is season 2, episode 16, another one that consisted of three stories. This time around, all of them were at least decent, even the more comedically-inclined tale in the middle, though I admit they were all a bit slow-moving. The first story, and the best of the bunch … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season 2, Episode 16 – “Lindemann’s Catch/The Late Mr. Peddington/A Feast of Blood”
Sometimes you get in the mood for some good old-fashioned 1970s horror weirdness, and as you’ve probably surmised, I recently got into one of those exact moods. Earlier in the evening I had done a rewatch of the underrated 1978 haunted house flick The Evil (which we reviewed ages ago), and after it was over, … More Movies: The Pyx (1973)
I’m a big fan of Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy’s first two films (2020’s Caveat and 2024’s Oddity, which I reviewed here and here), so you knew it would only be a matter of time before I (finally) got around to seeing his latest work, the 2026 supernatural folk horror movie Hokum. Just as in his … More Movies: Hokum (2026)
