I watched Black Phone 2 as part of Beyond Fest at American Cinematheque. You can check out the full schedule here. How would it be possible to make a sequel to The Black Phone? That's the question I asked myself when they announced that Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill were working on Black

I suffer from sleep paralysis. I know people who suffer from sleepwalking. The idea of something happening to you while you're unaware and sleeping is terrifying. So that's why the premise of Dream Eater hits that hard. It's all about a couple who go to stay in a remote mountain cabin to document

The V/H/S series has morphed into a yearly ritual for horror fans that love the anthology format. This year, that format continues with five stories (and a sixth frame narrative) that are all written and directed by up-and-coming horror filmmakers. If you don't know what goes into a V/H/S movie,

I watched Dust Bunny as part of Beyond Fest at American Cinematheque. You can check out the full schedule here. Every once in a while, a movie idea comes out of nowhere and makes you go "damn, why didn't I think of that?". In the 2020's there have been a couple, mixing vampires and moonshine like

I watched Shelby Oaks as part of Beyond Fest at American Cinematheque. You can check out the full schedule here. Shelby Oaks is a wild movie through and through. It's definitely creepy and the story behind how the movie was made isn't creepy, but still just as improbable. It comes from YouTube
A new Shane Black movie is a momentous occasion. Play Dirty is the first movie that he's written or directed since 2018's The Predator. For fans of his, I'll cut to the chase, Play Dirty is a return to form for the prolific writer/director. Play Dirty stars Mark Wahlberg as Parker, LaKeith

I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen a movie like Coyotes before. In a world where mankind's expansion into natural territory, the idea of coyotes striking back against humans is something that would be interesting to explore. Thankfully, we have Coyotes from director Colin Minihan and writers

So Marvel Animation have a new miniseries based on an episode of a previous miniseries What If...?. The new series Marvel Zombies continues the story of the episode "What If...Zombies?". It follows a group of survivors as they risk their lives fighting superpowered zombies to save the world. It
There's a growing trend in cinema right now, and that is the trend of movies being fun again. Just a good old-fashioned time at the theater (or home since streaming accounts for most viewership these days) filled with laughs and action and heart that remind you why you go to escape in the first
There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
