If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard some good things about Joe Lynch’s latest feature, Mayhem. If you’re not like me and don’t feel the constant drive to find and watch new horror, spending hours reading about upcoming genre films, and stalking horror writers and creators on Twitter, then good for you. Your hobby-life balance … More Mayhem (2017) – REVIEW
Poor Agnes played here in Chicago at the Cinepocalypse Film Fest. Admittedly, I’ve never heard of director, Navin Ramaswaran before. Maybe because he hasn’t made a straight-up horror feature before (as far as I can tell). Whatever the reason, I had zero expectations going into Poor Agnes. I pretty much knew it was playing the … More Poor Agnes (2017) – REVIEW
My final, final review from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival this year is for Tragedy Girls. It’s been fun and I hope to cover the fest next year. Let’s get into it, shall we? McKayla and Sadie are hellbent on building their social media brand by any means necessary. Their brand is murder and … More Tragedy Girls – REVIEW
The end of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival is behind us. But that doesn’t mean my reviews have to be! Here’s my review for Indiana. IMDB says it’s from 2015, but I’m putting 2017 in the title anyway. Enjoy! Michael is a “spirit doctor” who specializes in removing “demonic attachments, human ghosts, and UFO violations” … More Indiana (2017) – REVIEW
I’m really cranking these Fantasia Int’l Film Fest reviews out! (by “cranking”, i mean that i’m way behind and scrambling to get movies watched and reviews written while also having a job and a family. what i’m saying is this: you’re welcome) Next up, Sequence Break! Let’s get into it, shall we? Oz (Os?) … More Sequence Break (2017) – REVIEW
Once again, I am covering the Fantasia International Film Festival from the lovely comfort and confines of my own home. I honestly love that Fantasia allows remote coverage. It’s great for people like me. People who are not allowed in Canada. For my first review, I’m going with directors, Sebastien Landry and Laurence Morais-Legace’s Game … More Game of Death (2017) – REVIEW
Perhaps you know nothing about Wichita. I certainly didn’t. First-time co-directors, Justyn Ah Chong and Matthew Ward, aren’t on my radar and I’ll assume they’re not on yours unless you are personal friends / acquaintances of theirs (or you worked on this film). So, it stands to reason that their movie may have slipped by … More Wichita (2017) – REVIEW
At this point, who hasn’t heard of the craziness that got The Evil Within to horror fans’ screens? A meth-addled “old money” heir. A Hollywood mansion turned into a studio. A 12+ year post-production period. All to get Andrew Getty’s nightmare vision to the screen. A feat that he didn’t quite realize before he died. Luckily … More The Evil Within (2017) – REVIEW
The name Noomi Rapace holds a certain gravitas even for me, someone who’s only seen two of her films. For whatever reason, I think of her as an accomplished, top-tier actor. And, she may well be. But the strange thing is this: why do I think that? Sure, she was good in Prometheus, … More Rupture (2017) – REVIEW
It’s been nigh on 26 years (okay, 2 years. but i’m keeping the release year at 2017) since I first heard tell of a little film called February. It was getting some positive festival buzz, so I put it in my list of films to check out when I could. I was unable to attend … More The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2017) – REVIEW
