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,

We prefer our horror on screen. That’s why we love film horror film festivals. We also know how hard it is to get movies produced for women and POC. Which is why we’re not mad that the Winter Film Festival is genre agnostic. The 14th Annual Winter Film Festival runs February from 18-22. Screenings will

Mag Mag is a surprising Japanese horror-comedy gem. It knows when to go full disturbing, but also knows how to break the tension with a good laugh. Director Yuriyan Retriever and writer Eisuke Naitô have crafted a dark, odd world with a few surprising twists. What is Mag Mag about? After the Mag Mag spirit

There have been more than a handful of films that depict survival in snow-covered environments. Someone has to fight against the elements in order to make it back to civilization. If they are able to make it at all. Hugo Keijzer’s The Occupant quickly becomes a survival thriller that fixates so heavily on the act

I ran to New Group the second I found out it was made by the same filmmaker who gave us Best Wishes to All. At the risk of ruining my own review in the first paragraph, it’s just as dark, chaotic, and fun as Yûta Shimotsu’s previous movie. It is also packing a helluva statement,

A Gothic horror exploration set in 1850s England, Taratoa Stappard’s debut feature film, Mārama, binds exquisitely crafted dread with intentional storytelling. Gothic horror stories are often rooted in the fear of something (or someone) and about revealing a dark past. These haunting stories became popular around the mid to late 1800s with books such as

Available now in 4k UHD, it’s as fresh as the corpses Herbert West needs for his ghoulish experiments. Director Stuart Gordon based his screenplay on Lovecraft’s novella Herbert West, Re-Animator, a Frankenstein parody. Herbert West (Jeffrey
