Pulled up to check out Undertone the second week of its release, and I got lucky! I went to a nighttime showing at my local AMC on a whim, and I had the dark theater all to myself. I didn’t know much about the movie except that a podcaster hears what she shouldn’t. That was […]

Fantasia Fest 2026 gave me the opportunity to experience history by witnessing Myanmar’s first found footage horror film, The Last Footage. The movie is shot in first-person, with smart glasses as the vehicle for this point of view. If you know me, you know I LOVE found footage. There is something about watching a cursed

Fantasia Film Festival 2026 has plenty of new films to check out, but I always manage to find a hidden gem from the past. This time, I made a beeline to see Gozu (2003). I’m a huge fan of Audition, and jumped at the opportunity to engage with more of Takashi Miike’s work. Every time

I know the Tubi originals tend to have a bad rap. Sometimes, they deserve them. In this case, Felipe Vargas’ Hive was a pleasant surprise. It didn’t reinvent the wheel, but it had some cool ideas. There are killer kids, infected wounds, and playground murders. All things the genre could use more of. While the

I love it when women swerve into male-dominated lanes. That’s why I was so excited to catch Frankie, Maniac Woman at Salem Horror Fest. All I knew about the movie was that Frankie was different, in the violent kind of way. That was enough for me. Kat (my co-host) and I power walked down the

I had the opportunity to watch Hokum at Overlook Film Festival in a packed theater amongst friends. I had no idea what the movie was about except that Adam Scott was there and Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity) was directing. Also, I enjoy haunted places and folk horror, so Hokum worked for me. It’s also easy

I decided to see Leviticus on whim at the Overlook Film Festival, and I’m happy that I did! I went into the movie completely blind and learned during the introduction of the movie that it was an Australian film. So, I expected realistic brutality. I also discovered that it starred Joe Bird from Talk to

If you know me, you know I love werewolves. It was obvious that I was going to see An American Werewolf in London (1981) on the big screen at Overlook Film Festival, even if it was just me in the crowd (it was a packed house, btw). In addition to seeing one of the most

I had the opportunity to check out Exit 8, directed by Genki Kawamura, at the Overlook Film Festival, and I was pleasantly surprised! Exit 8 is based on a video game released in 2023. I have watched the gameplay on YouTube, but I am too scared to play. While I hadn’t seen a trailer, I
