Sometimes it’s harder to figure out when a movie actually released than it should be. When I’m looking at a movie and trying to figure out what year it came out in, especially as of these last few years–I do a lot of Best Of lists and keep tally of where the flicks I watch belong–too often the “release date” can be frustratingly inaccurate. Especially … Continue reading The Sacrifice Game Review
SCREAMBOX exclusive Underground streams on January 9. Inspired by true events, the found footage nightmare finds a bachelorette party trapped in a World War II bunker complex. Found Footage movie! Boy, that’s a divisive term right there. People tend to either love or hate that subgenre of movies. Let’s be honest; most found footage flicks are horror, though certainly not all. And you have a … Continue reading Underground Review

From the producers of The Gallows, SCREAMBOX Exclusive Night of the Missing streams on November 28. The horror anthology features genre favorites Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) and Jenna Kanell (Terrifier). Anthology movies are often quite fun! Horror anthologies usually remind me of Trick R Treat, the cult classic antho from the late 00’s starring Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, and others. It’s one of the … Continue reading The Night Of The Missing Review
Okay, we are through #50-31, and it’s time to keep going with this countdown! It’s the middle of the list, and it’s here that we move out of “Very Good” (my 3.25 – 3.5 star territory) and into the start of the “Great” (3.75 – 4.00 star) 2023 movies.

SCREAMBOX Exclusive Santastein comes alive on December 19. The festive twist on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein delivers Christmas cheer and slasher fear in equal measure. You know a trope I have always hated because it makes zero sense? The Christmas movie where all of the parents and adults think Santa does not exist, but it turns out he does. You have every adult in the world … Continue reading SantaStein Review
The Sun had gone down and Reinhard stood in front of the Familiar, “You will be coming with us,” he handed his rifle to him, “Our enemies eluded us last night which means they are resourceful. They might exploit certain weaknesses that we have that do not pertain to mortals. When we find them, be ready.” “Yes, Master,” he proudly held his rifle firm. Suddenly, … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #19

Happy Halloween! It’s wild that it took me so long to get here, but Nightmare On Elm Street is not like Halloween or Friday the 13th as far as rewatching over the course of my life.

For whatever reason, I have never held this … Continue reading Nightmare On Elm St Franchise Ranking

Happy Friday The 13th everyone! After the absolutely wonderful 1970’s and 1980’s, horror as a genre went on a pretty steep slide. The 1990’s were fine, but things started getting a bit generic and derivative. We began the decade with some really low-end slasher sequelss to still capitalize from what was big in the 80’s, but those faded quickly. Some meta genre-bending hit in the … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Top Ten Horror Movies of the 2020’s
“So what do you know about vampires?,” Alysa asked as they sat in an underground parking garage, far from prying eyes. “I fought one a while back,” Creed explained, “Someone was stealing blood samples from the hospital. I investigated and found an orderly was taking them. When I followed, it turned out he was a Familiar.” “Familiar?” “Vampires apparently have humans doing work for them … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #18
Alysa and Creed drove the truck toward the highway and out of sight; in case they were being watched, they wanted to appear as though they left the area. Once they parked the truck on the side of the road around the bend, they trekked back to the compound on foot, arriving at the rear of the large fenced-in building. “Picking anyone up?,” Creed asked. … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #17
The man stood under the awning just outside the cheap motel to get out of the rain. He kept going back and forth between looking at his phone and leaning forward to get a good look at the parking lot. After about fifteen minutes of this, he saw a familiar car pull up. When the woman parked, she rushed outside with an umbrella and met … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #16
NOTE: Definite Spoilers below for Unwelcome (and two other older Shudder movies–Dawn Of The Beast and Night’s End–actually)! I love a good tonal shift in movies… as long as one of two things are true: -The first being that the movie juggles multiple tones effectively, and nothing really feels out of place in the universe that the film set up. -Or the second: the movie … Continue reading Unwelcome Review
