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

Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019), directed by Xavier Burgin, is a documentary that puts respect on Black filmmakers’ names. It also opened the doors to dark truths in the horror and filmmaking community that were often silent, but known. The documentary gives us an opportunity to listen to Black filmmakers, actors, and

I had the opportunity to check out films from the Unnamed Footage Festival, which highlights found footage movies. While it’s a divisive subgenre, I love to watch found footage flicks! They are perfect to watch at 11:00 PM on a laptop in the dark with noise-cancelling headphones. That is exactly how I watched Frogman Returns

It doesn’t take a genius to know that within the first ten minutes of a movie where Zazie Beetz is portraying a badass avenger of sorts, taking out rich white people, that it’s going to be a good time. Kirill Sokolov and Alex Litvak’s script was made for an unhinged Beetz to let loose and

Women’s History Month isn’t quite done yet, and I’ve spent most of it talking to female filmmakers in the horror space. They inspired me, made me laugh, and reignited my belief that I really, really need to go ahead and put my script into production. Getting a film made is a magic trick in which

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

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 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
