So during a livestream a week or two ago, someone made a comment that they had found our channel through one of my giallo movie reviews, and that maybe it was time for me to do another one. Realizing that it had indeed been entirely too long since my last foray into the genre (the … More Movies: Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)
Another 2025 film I’d heard a bit of buzz about but didn’t get around to seeing before my year-end wrap-up was the summer camp horror Marshmallow, directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio (Tales of the Black Freighter) and written by Andy Greskoviak, who also penned the screenplay for the 2021 horror comedy Black Friday, which starred the … More Movies: Marshmallow (2025)
As I alluded to in my previous post about my twenty favorite horror movies of 2025, I had made a big list of films I wanted to see before the end of the year to judge if any of them were in contention, but I just ran out of time. One of these movies was … More Movies: A Desert (2025)
I know I haven’t been posting on here much lately, but that’s mostly because I’ve been busy with work, and also because I’ve been trying to take in as many 2025 horror flicks as possible with a view to doing another massive, year-end top twenty like I did for 2024. But as the holidays are … More Movies: The Sacrifice Game (2023)
Most horror fans with knowledge of the classics will have likely heard of the 1945 British anthology film Dead of Night, which was not only one of the very few horror films to come out of the UK in the 1940s, but was massively influential in the horror anthology subgenre going forward. In addition to … More Movies: Dead of Night (1945)
I feel like I’m probably in the majority when I say that M. Night Shyamalan’s films have been a mixed bag, to say the least. Like most people, I loved The Sixth Sense and have a soft spot for Unbreakable as well (though I’m not as big a fan of Signs as some others tend … More Movies: The Visit (2015)
The small but potent “babysitter in peril” subgenre was cemented into the horror lexicon by 1978’s Halloween and 1979’s When a Stranger Calls; but what many might not realize is that way back in 1971, the UK produced what is widely considered the first full-length example of the form, Fright, directed by Peter Collinson (most … More Movies: Fright (1971)
I have to admit that the title of this one piqued my interest right away, and that amazing cover design is just so simple and impactful that I literally could not resist it. I’m speaking, of course, of the 2024 novel The Eyes Are The Best Part by Monika Kim, a psychological/body horror story about … More Books: The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim
Paul Tremblay is a name that should be familiar to most horror fans; he was responsible for the beloved 2015 novel A Head Full of Ghosts, which won a Bram Stoker Award that year, and his 2018 book The Cabin at the End of the World was adapted into the 2023 film Knock at the … More Books: Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
Just a couple weeks back, I chose Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy’s second feature film, the supernatural murder mystery Oddity, as one of my top five horror movies of 2024. In that review, I mentioned that since I loved Oddity so much, I was curious to see McCarthy’s 2020 debut Caveat (which is currently streaming on … More Movies: Caveat (2020)
