After crossing the Atlantic ocean with his wife and two sons, Abraham Van Helsing has finally settled down… or has he? Let me point this out; has anyone ever considered fact-checking Van Helsing? Did anyone ask him for true vampiric evidence? Maybe not. Natasha Kermani (Lucky, V/H/S/85) helms the feature film adaptation of Abraham’s Boys; […]
I only needed to read a short synopsis of The Rule of Jenny Pen and settled in—also, John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush. Today, hit play on Shudder. A curmudgeon quits his day job after a stroke and lands himself in assisted nursing care. Unfortunately, it only gets worse once he’s caught the attention of the resident

825 Forest Road strives to be a compelling ghost story. Unfortunately, we are left with unanswered questions and a story that may have relied too heavily on jump scares. Don’t get me wrong, 825 Forest Road definitely has its moments where I started to get sucked into the story. However, the cheap tricks quickly took me

Fucktoys (stylized as F*cktoys) is a clever, sexy, pop-punk, grindhouse adventure. Writer and director Annapurna Sriram crafts a raucous fantasy world that is unafraid to play in its smutty little sandbox.

David Yarovesky drew me in with this poster and trailer alone. Reading the names of Bill Skarsgård, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and producer Sam Raimi, I was excited to watch Locked. A stolen car is an excellent location for this creative thriller. How and why? Is this a personal revenge tale or a sick Collector-like psycho

I watched Drop early on at SXSW 2025, and lo and behold, it stayed in my top 3 from this festival. I felt like I was in the thick of this wild date. One where anything that can go wrong goes bizarrely wrong. There is no reason for this situation to ever exist. Yet it

Many of us have been curious to see what Together is about. We know it’s a horror movie starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco with a very vague summary. So, most of us showed up not knowing what subgenre it would be. Or even an expectation of what type of shenanigans we were

THERE’S A CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, PEOPLE! Festivities at SXSW 2025 are winding down, but we are not done yet. We squeezed in a few more movies, and we each have our favorites. In no particular order, let’s begin. I was excited when I read the title, Clown in a Cornfield. Say less! My mind

One of the most natural and cruelest experiences humans face is aging. While living a long life is a goal, our bodies begin to betray us. Our loved ones often forget us causing loneliness and isolation. Many of us find we are not as sharp as we used to be which leads to self doubt.
