Warning, I’m gonna drop some spoilers, though there isn’t much to spoil.
You understand pretty early on that The Open House is one of those slow-burn thrillers–where there’s a creak here and bump there and all the occasional odd occurrences. Unfortunately, there is no bang at the end of that burning fuse. Read more “The Open House (2018)”
Wow, this was a fun ride.
I’m actually shocked I’d never heard of 13 Sins before coming across it on Netflix. A short, powerful synopsis always pulls me in with books, and it’s no different with movies. The plot descriptions given on IMDB and Amazon are your generic run through, but on Netflix it says: “For $1000, this likable loser will hurt a fly. What will he do for a million? One task down, 12 more to go…” Read more “13 Sins”
I could not be happier about this book, alongside one of the best literary gore-artists in the business–Christine Morgan. This is some bloody nasty body horror! Stay tuned for the release!
Vampire movies these days are one of two things: either a “horror” romance starring pretty boys with zero body hair and zero body fat or yet another reimagining of Dracula. Of all the horror sub-genres, vampire movies are the ones I’m least likely to enjoy. Read more “30 Days of Night”
Why this isn’t widely considered one of the greatest World War II films ever produced, alongside Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, The Pianist, and Das Boot, I’ll never know. I mean, in terms of historical war cinema, this really is as good as it gets. Okay, okay, I’m joking. If you’re a WW2 buff like me, don’t expect to satiate your craving for a good movie on the war by watching this. Although, it is better than Dunkirk and that new version of Midway.

Not horror, per se, but horrifying all the same.
I stumbled across Are We Not Cats on Amazon after watching Housewife–a movie I’ll have to watch a second time before I can formulate a coherent thought about it. Read more “Are We Not Cats”
It’s not often that you find great 80s style gore in this age of CGI trash special effects. I’m talking gore in the same vein as The Thing, Cronenberg movies, and the works of Tom Savini. Okay, maybe the gore in The Void isn’t quite on par with Savini, but it’s pretty damn good. Read more “The Void (2016)”
