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.

When I first started this series, I knew that Japan would be the one country where I would have no issues finding hundreds of titles. In contrast to the countries we’ve gone through before (South Korea, India, Thailand), Japan is a behemoth when it comes to the sensual, the perverse, the erotic. They have famously

The Mouths, or A Survey about Mouths, is a Japanese supernatural horror film (org. title: Kuchi Ni Kansuru Enquete) that had its North American premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival 2026.

No way! This is like The Exorcist. With werewolf movies, there is an expectation to show certain types of scenes from the transformation to the kills. We hope to see victims being stalked and dragged into forests and being devoured with bloody emphasis. Yet, director Eriko Katagiri takes on the concept of werewolves and infuses

Ever since the movie announcement at Cannes, I’ve been curious what the return of Yeon Sango-Ho to the international market was going to be. After the internationally produced Peninsula (sequel to Train to Busan), he left us wanting for more Korean peninsula horror stories. So, I was excited to see Colony on the program for

Fantasia Fest 2026 gave me the opportunity to experience history by witnessing Myanmar’s first found footage horror film, The Last Footage. The movie is shot in first-person, with smart glasses as the vehicle for this point of view. If you know me, you know I LOVE found footage. There is something about watching a cursed
