It has been a particularly rough week in an exceptionally rough decade. Like many people, I started this week already a little sad simply because I live on Earth. However, like most sad people trapped in this dystopian world, I was putting one foot in front of the other. A few quips and the rationale […]

Saw The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw had a wildly popular off-Broadway stint. It is now enjoying a national tour as it brings the grime to a city a near you. So, it was only a matter of time before this odd fusion of blood, music, and potty humor made its way to Chicago.

Horror is political and we love to see filmmakers who put thought into what they want their art to say. Which is why I love to see Edwin helming the latest horror movie aimed at inhumane working conditions in factory settings. Sleep No More is not what we might have expected from reading the premise.

I fell in love with Makoto Ueda’s writing during my first Fantasia Film Festival in 2021. I have watched Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes at least a dozen times while introducing new friends to the movie. So, I was obviously excited to see he was back with You Are the Film, a movie he wrote

June is always a weird time for horror. Usually by now, we’ve found a few things to love. I know 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Obsession, and Mother of Flies are all at the top of my favorites of 2026 (so far). However, it still feels like something is missing when many people are

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
