The Ugly Stepsister was a pleasant surprise! I didn’t initially have it on my schedule, but when a horror homie (Angel Melanson) vouched for it, I knew I couldn’t miss it. So, I snagged a spot in the theater with other friends who had heard the good word about the film and buckled in for […]

“Why isn’t there more eco-horror?” I asked my podcast co-host recently as we set up to record. Of course, there are plenty of films exploring the existentialist terror inherent in the fact plants grow without us and the Earth will continue long after we’re gone. The subgenre already has some of my favorites – specifically

Supernatural horror is my bag! I was super excited to lay my eyes on Rosario at the Overlook Film Festival during one of the late-night slots. The film follows a successful woman, Rosario (Emeraude Toubia), who has to spend the night watching her grandmother’s corpse until the ambulance comes. Of course, things get supernatural as

825 Forest Road strives to be a compelling ghost story. Unfortunately, we are left with unanswered questions and a story that may have relied too heavily on jump scares. Don’t get me wrong, 825 Forest Road definitely has its moments where I started to get sucked into the story. However, the cheap tricks quickly took me

Fucktoys (stylized as F*cktoys) is a clever, sexy, pop-punk, grindhouse adventure. Writer and director Annapurna Sriram crafts a raucous fantasy world that is unafraid to play in its smutty little sandbox. It is one of those surprise festival darlings that reminds jaded filmgoers why we find magic in celluloid. The film finds AP (Sriram) discovering

David Yarovesky drew me in with this poster and trailer alone. Reading the names of Bill Skarsgård, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and producer Sam Raimi, I was excited to watch Locked. A stolen car is an excellent location for this creative thriller. How and why? Is this a personal revenge tale or a sick Collector-like psycho
