I love it when women swerve into male-dominated lanes. That’s why I was so excited to catch Frankie, Maniac Woman at Salem Horror Fest. All I knew about the movie was that Frankie was different, in the violent kind of way. That was enough for me. Kat (my co-host) and I power walked down the […]

One of the things I mentioned in last year’s top 10 horror TV list is just how lacking horror TV has been. Sure, we’ve had some hits but we’ve also had some major losses and plenty of misses. Now, Widow’s Bay has entered the chat. And surprisingly, it’s a refreshing addition to genre TV. It’s

Most movies these days are incredible video sensations, making it easy to overlook, or rather overhear, the soundtrack. In most films, the soundtrack only sets the atmosphere. In great films, such as Sinners, the soundtrack is the film’s bloodstream. Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror story relies on the sounds of blues, gospel, folk, Irish music, and

I had the opportunity to watch Hokum at Overlook Film Festival in a packed theater amongst friends. I had no idea what the movie was about except that Adam Scott was there and Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity) was directing. Also, I enjoy haunted places and folk horror, so Hokum worked for me. It’s also easy

I decided to see Leviticus on whim at the Overlook Film Festival, and I’m happy that I did! I went into the movie completely blind and learned during the introduction of the movie that it was an Australian film. So, I expected realistic brutality. I also discovered that it starred Joe Bird from Talk to

If you know me, you know I love werewolves. It was obvious that I was going to see An American Werewolf in London (1981) on the big screen at Overlook Film Festival, even if it was just me in the crowd (it was a packed house, btw). In addition to seeing one of the most

To any Italian, or more broadly, to any Italian speaker, the name giallo either brings to mind the bright, sunny color yellow, or any detective story, whether it’s written, filmed or performed. This is because in 1929, the famous printing company Mondadori decided to release detective stories, like the ones written by Agatha Christie or

I’m no better than a man. I sat myself in front of Forbidden Fruits for eye candy, a catty story, and to re-up on a healthy serving of gender. From marketing alone, Meredith Alloway’s debut feature makes promises on all of these, and delivers on all but one. Regardless, remember that I told you so
