The Wayans and Company have returned to their franchise with Scary Movie (2026). As someone who is anti-Columbusing the work of Black creatives, and someone who suffered through the entire franchise recently, I was rooting for them. As a 90s kid who grew up watching the Wayans family build a comedic empire, it’s hard not […]

Scary Movie 5 has the honor of being the worst entry in the franchise. So, looking at the glass as half full, things can only go up from here. This mess was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Undercover Brother) and written by Pat Proft and David Zucker. A new director couldn’t save it, and moving

This Scary Movie train has pulled into the station for the fourth installment. This one sees David Zucker’s return as director. However, Craig Mazin and Pat Proft are joined by the late Jim Abrahams on the screenplay this time out. While they are all probably lovely individuals, Scary Movie 4 seems even more removed from

I recently discovered that Scary Movie 3 is when the Wayans Dynasty exited the franchise. This felt like the Pepsi challenge in that I’m not a fan of either project, but I had braced myself for one brand and got something different. This installment is directed by David Zucker. Zucker was responsible for 1980s comedies

Scary Movie 2 is less focused, sharp, and interesting than its predecessor. The Wayans and company revive all of their lead characters and send them to college. Instead of staying in Scream’s light this one feels more scattershot. To be fair, they lampooned the first two films already. Anyways, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her

I skipped Scary Movie when it hit theaters and video rental stores. By 2000, I realized most horror comedies were geared toward frat boys. Meaning there would be a bunch of dick jokes and stereotypes that I wouldn’t have a good time with. Luckily, things have shifted, and more filmmakers who understand what that subgenre

The kids have been clamoring for more limited space horror movies in the wake of Skinamarink. Which is why all eyes have been on Kane Parsons Backrooms. Based on his wildly popular and creepy short The Backrooms, the film quickly became one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Even cinephiles who don’t typically enjoy

Shudder’s June lineup has been released so I can start planning my birthday month watches already. The streamer is adding exciting new titles like Find Your Friends, The Voices of Our Mother, and The Ice Tower. However, as usual, it’s the old school bangers that have my attention. Both The Burning and Evil Dead II

As horror fans, we have all seen a shit ton of found footage. Yet, we know that in the right hands, basements become terrifying places to die. A shaky camera instills anxiety and forces us to lean in. There is magic in this subgenre (when it’s done correctly) that shuts up the most jaded millennial.

One of the reasons SXSW has been in our festival rotation for years is that it’s one of the few festivals we can all attend. Having all three editors on the ground is fun and also means we get to spend time together. However, this year’s selection of genre fair was so large that we
