We don't have nearly enough sword and sorcery films these days. Like the Western, the musical, or any other genre that was popular in yesteryear, sword and sorcery films have been tossed to the wayside, until now. Yes, with the release of Deathstalker from writer/director Steven Kostanski, we

Well, A Nightmare On Elm Street fans have a little bit to celebrate this October with the release of the A Nightmare On Elm Street 4K Collection. It's the best the films have looked, but now we have our sights set on the future of the series. Robert England sat down for an interview with our
Every animal owner has a special bond with their pet. They're intuitive, loving, and compassionate. There's a reason many people worry about the fate of animals in horror movies, especially. With Good Boy, which premiered this year at SXSW, Ben Leonberg decided to maximize that fear by making the
Are you ready to take home the finale of The Conjuring saga? Well, it's not likely to be the finale of the whole story, just for the current iteration. The ninth film, The Conjuring: Last Rites, in New Line Cinema's massively successful Conjuring Universe arrives at home digitally on October 7th

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
Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger feels like a movie that’s selling itself as something deeper than it ultimately is. There’s an expectation that we’re going to get this grand story about the Gallagher brothers reconciling, putting aside their differences, and coming back together for these
There will be many moments during Paul Greengrass's new film The Uprising that create chilling parallels to recent historical events. His exploration of the 1381 peasants revolt in Medieval England is rooted as much in historical fact as it is relevant to the present day. Some of this is clearly by
“By Any Means” treads familiar ground, but Mark Wahlberg shines as real life Hitman-turned-Fed informer Gregory Scarpa, and behind the tropes and cinematic conventions is the kernel of a true story that has relevance to this day. Mark Wahlberg is distracting (mostly in a good way) throughout
