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

Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019), directed by Xavier Burgin, is a documentary that puts respect on Black filmmakers’ names. It also opened the doors to dark truths in the horror and filmmaking community that were often silent, but known. The documentary gives us an opportunity to listen to Black filmmakers, actors, and

I had the opportunity to check out films from the Unnamed Footage Festival, which highlights found footage movies. While it’s a divisive subgenre, I love to watch found footage flicks! They are perfect to watch at 11:00 PM on a laptop in the dark with noise-cancelling headphones. That is exactly how I watched Frogman Returns

I got a chance to check out Sam Raimi’s new flick, Send Help, on the big screen, and I had way more fun than I thought I would. The film follows a woman’s journey, and choices, after she is stranded on an island with her overbearing boss. I hadn’t seen any trailers. The only thing

I had the opportunity to see The Gates ahead of its March 13th release date with a mostly Black audience: It was a wild time! The only thing I knew about the film was Mason Gooding and his friends were in the wrong neighborhood. Seeing three Black men in enemy territory, meant the movie could

Night Patrol feels like someone took Colors (1988), Baller Blockin’ (2000), and 30 Days of Night (2007) and put them in a blender. The mix is unbalanced and chaotic, but entertaining nonetheless. Night Patrol reminds me of movies like Dead Heist (2007) and Bloodz vs. Wolvez (2006) in the best and worst ways. I love

If you were on the fence about the 28 Years Later trilogy, this new installment might win you over! 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple feels more like 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later with more action, tension, and violence, while maintaining the GORGEOUS cinematography from 28 Years Later. The first movie in the
