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. It always resulted in eating crow while trying to buy merch. More importantly, I refuse to be embarrassed on Samara Weaving’s internet […]

Premiering at South by Southwest, Kill Me is a movie about depression…but it refuses to behave like one. At a time when conversations about mental health are more public than ever, the film asks an unsettling question: what happens when someone with a history of depression insists they are telling the truth… and no one

A man jacked off next to me at a SXSW premiere and all I got was a lousy t-shirt. Okay, so that’s slightly misleading. I actually got the t-shirt at a different premiere, and it wasn’t a lousy shirt. I really like it. But other than that, it’s a pretty true statement. I’m being serious,

The Life We Leave is a peek into the death industry. The documentary made its debut at SXSW and delved into one specific form of death care known as terramation (aka human composting). We will all die one day. It’s something we in the horror community think about on a daily basis. While we may

This is why Maya Annik Bedward’s new documentary Black Zombie is doing a lot of love

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. The film doesn’t reinvent the thriller subgenre. However, it does give a couple of actresses a fun playground to showcase their comedic timing.

The horror comedy anthology, Grind, made its premiere at SXSW! I’m here to tell you I was all about it and not just because it stars the lovely Barbara Crampton, amongst other fine actors. The four-part anthology focuses on the put-upon worker in the gray landscape of big corporations and capitalistic greed. It’s smart, funny,

I had the opportunity to see The Gates ahead of its March 13th release date with a mostly Black audience: It was a wild time! The only thing I knew about the film was Mason Gooding and his friends were in the wrong neighborhood. Seeing three Black men in enemy territory, meant the movie could

It is a truth universally acknowledged that, even if horror has always been historically queer, trans horror is sure having a moment right now. Since the 2024 release of Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw The TV Glow, many a trans cinephile has newly gotten into horror, a genre previously reserved (in the popular imagination, at least)
