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

Sometimes a film has all of the key ingredients, years to marinate, and an impassioned chef, but still tastes off. That’s how I feel about Kevin Hamedani’s The Saviors. I get what it’s doing and love that. I love this cast and enjoyed the bits that worked. However, it sadly fell flat in a lot

I’m one of the many people who loved Ready or Not and felt it was a complete story. However, I also learned long ago to stop asking Radio Silence and Guy Busick questions.

As someone who comes from a big family, I know family feuds don’t stop for anything. So, I find Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer’s Drag more charming and relatable than I should.

I always knew film festivals seemed like something I would like to get involved with. I was a pretentious child who probably loved movies even more than I do now. So, I watched a lot of IFC and The Sundance Channel whenever we had premium cable as a kid. I watched indie movies that I

In case you missed it, there have been a lot of new horror movies these first few weeks of 2026. With so many titles fighting for our attention, it’s easy for a few films to fly under our radar. This is why we caught up with filmmaker Daniel J. Phillips to talk about his new

I was one of the people who fell head over heels for Heart Eyes last year. I’m a slasher girl, but it had been a hot minute since a new killer landed on the big screen that was cool enough for me to lean in. However, this was cool, funny, bloody, and just unique enough
