Just when you think you’ve seen (and reviewed) all the good Christmas horror movies, a nasty little indie shocker scuttles under the radar to show you how wrong you were. I had seen the thumbnail for the 2020 British film Hosts several times while scrolling the horror selections on Tubi, but neither the image nor … More Movies: Hosts (2020)
German filmmaker Tilman Singer is a relative newcomer on the scene, previously responsible for two short films (in 2014 and 2016), and the 2018 full-length film Luz (which I saw a while ago and liked okay; we did a review of it here). His latest movie, though, 2024’s Cuckoo, has quietly been turning up on … More Movies: Cuckoo (2024)
Writer/producer/director E.L. Katz has been responsible for some really good shit, including the excellent 2013 film Cheap Thrills, one episode of Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, and probably my favorite season of SyFy’s Channel Zero series, entitled “The Dream Door.” So when I heard that he’d made a sort of post-apocalyptic action horror starring … More Movies: Azrael (2024)
I may have mentioned it before, but 2024 has been a hell of a year for horror movies (despite its shittiness in other aspects), and for that reason, I’ve been more keen than usual to keep up with all the buzzy films that have been coming out. I’m even considering doing a year-end “best-of” post … More Movies: Strange Darling (2023)
Holiday slashers are a dime a dozen, of course, but some holidays end up kinda getting the short shrift; Halloween, Christmas, and even Valentine’s Day are pretty well-represented, but when was the last time you saw an Easter slasher, for example (well, other than The Passion of the Christ, har de har)? Thanksgiving is one … More Movies: Thanksgiving (2023)
I had been hearing a fair bit of buzz in the horror community about the 2023 Australian horror thriller You’ll Never Find Me for quite a while, so was happy to see that Shudder added it to their lineup back in March of 2024. It’s the first film directed by Indianna Bell and Josiah Allen, … More Movies: You’ll Never Find Me (2024)
Way back in the 1990s, I distinctly remember really enjoying a 1995 horror thriller titled Mute Witness; I may have even owned it on DVD at some point, though if I did I have no idea where it eventually disappeared to. I never really heard anyone talking about it, even at the time, so it … More Movies: Mute Witness (1995)
Even though I’m absolutely not religious in any way, shape, or form, I’ve always found something very appealing about the religious horror films of the 60s and 70s, particularly classics like Rosemary’s Baby, The Devils, The Exorcist, and The Omen. One movie along those lines that doesn’t get brought up nearly as much, though, is … More Book vs Movie: The Sentinel
Even though my formative years coincided with the 1980s and even though I’ve always been a sucker for a good made-for-TV horror movie, I admit I had never even heard of 1985’s The Midnight Hour until someone recommended it on a livestream chat. Originally aired on ABC on November 1st, 1985, the film is a … More Movies: The Midnight Hour (1985)
I had been curious about seeing 2013’s WNUF Halloween Special for ages, especially after it kept turning up on “best Halloween movie” lists around the internet. Since it’s almost Halloween, and since Shudder recently added it to their platform, I figured now was as good a time as any. WNUF is one of those movies … More Movies: WNUF Halloween Special (2013)
