One of the reasons SXSW has been in our festival rotation for years is that it’s one of the few festivals we can all attend. Having all three editors on the ground is fun and also means we get to spend time together. However, this year’s selection of genre fair was so large that we […]

I got a chance to check out Sam Raimi’s new flick, Send Help, on the big screen, and I had way more fun than I thought I would. The film follows a woman’s journey, and choices, after she is stranded on an island with her overbearing boss. I hadn’t seen any trailers. The only thing

I walked into another banger at SXSW this year and just want to talk to everyone about it. Written and directed by Curry Barker, Obsession stars Michael Johnston as Bear, who has a crush on Nikki (Inde Navarrette) and is working up the nerve to ask her out. He is desperate to find the perfect

Sinner Supper Club is a goodbye letter to friendship groups. It’s seeking closure and finding that it doesn’t always go to plan. Writers and directors Daisy Rosato and Nora Kaye created a story of love, friendship, death, and ultimately the uncertainty of life. Shot in six days on an iPhone, the film is the product

Way too many genre fans do not know that modern zombies evolved from Haitian spirituality. They also do not want to listen when people tell them that films have given them the negative portrayal they think is the gospel. This is why Maya Annik Bedward’s new documentary Black Zombie is doing a lot of love

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
