Horror Movies Didn’t Scare Me // Real Life Taught Me What Fear Actually Feels Like

The first time I realized what fear truly felt like, there wasn’t music swelling in the background. No warning. No cutaway. Just a sudden, overwhelming sense that something was very wrong—and that I was alone with it. I recall how my body responded before my mind could fully process what was happening. My chest constricted. […]

The Terror of the Ordinary // How Modern Horror Turns Daily Routines into Nightmares

Commentary, Featured / Israel Temmie

There’s a moment in The Invisible Man (2020) when Cecilia stands in her kitchen, the kettle hissing softly on the stove. Nothing is happening. No music swells. No shadow moves. And yet the scene is unbearable. The longer she stands there, the more the space itself feels hostile. The kitchen, usually a place of comfort,

Featured, Headline / Miss Sharai Bohannon

As you may have noticed, not all award situations are created equally. Which is why the UK & Ireland Horror Critics Group set out to change that with the Golden Claw Awards. In addition to celebrating often overlooked horror films, the group also recognizes POC, women, and other marginalized filmmakers that are usually shut out

Night Patrol Review // It’s Complicated

Featured, Headline, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

Night Patrol feels like someone took Colors (1988), Baller Blockin’ (2000), and 30 Days of Night (2007) and put them in a blender. The mix is unbalanced and chaotic, but entertaining nonetheless. Night Patrol reminds me of movies like Dead Heist (2007) and Bloodz vs. Wolvez (2006) in the best and worst ways. I love

Commentary, Featured / Asma Kadoli

For as long as I’ve been a fan of horror, there has always been a silent divide between the genre and me. I liked the fear, the anticipation, and the rush of watching something unsettling take place. But as much as I loved horror, I seldom saw myself in it. Black characters frequently were in

Welcome to the Melody of Memory

Commentary, Featured, Headline, new horror / Jamie Kirsten Howard

Every few months, a prompt along the lines of “what song instantly makes you time-travel,” or “name a song that came out when you were sixteen,” or “what song do you most associate with a specific event” goes around social media. We all can answer at least one of those. This exercise in nostalgia even
