2021 might just be the year of Zack Snyder. You've had Zack Snyder's Justice League, which was a rounding success, and now Army of the Dead. Is Army of the Dead as big of a cinematic triumph? It's not. But that's not without saying that it does a fine job in a genre that's quite frankly
What a difference a year makes. It was over a year ago that we all waited for this film in the theaters. And then the pandemic happened. There's no better time than now to watch this masterful piece of filmmaking. A Quiet Place Part II is a perfect film to kick off the return to theaters. First

Shudder's Creepshow is in the midst of it's second season. We've seen some absolutely fantastic horror anthology this time around. Last week we had the marvelous "The Right Snuff/Sibling Rivalry", you can check out the review at that link. This time around we have a double dose of classic sci-fi
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
