The House With Laughing Windows // For the Giallo Crowd: Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

I rarely skip the chance to check out a Giallo film. I saw Italian, Giallo, and 1970s, and I was sold! So, I skipped the premise and dove into Pupi Avanti’s The House With Laughing Windows blindly. I was treated to an engaging mystery that would satisfy most Giallo fans, and a shocking reveal that […]

Terrestrial // That Escalated Quickly : Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

You need a certain amount of creativity, delusion, and luck to be a writer. Having the ideas and talent isn’t nearly enough if you don’t believe in yourself. However, you also have to cling to the dream that your stuff will find the right people who will help you get it seen or read. Writing

Hot Spring Shark Attack // Let’s 3-D Print a Yellow Submarine

“Hot Spring Shark Attack” was all I needed to read to pique my interest in this film. I am a sucker for sharksploitation films. Jaws doesn’t need any hype from me; there are plenty of thrillers with great stories, implementing fears of open water, deep ocean, stalking sharks, and frenzied attacks. Deep Blue Sea, Sharknado,

The Only Ones // A Chattanooga Film Fest 2025 Review

The Only Ones begins and ends with lots of bloodshed, and I’m here to tell you I’m all for it. Written and directed by Jordan Miller, The Only Ones has found a way to bring on the practical effects of so much death into a blood-friendly flick without offending or becoming overly saturated with comical nonsense.
