Animated horror is always a fascinating subject. The limitations of the human form, resources, and proper special effects are lifted, and we are allowed the freedom to let the imagination run wild. This is especially exciting when we get an animated horror from the mind of Jimmy ScreamerClauz (‘Where the Dead Go to Die’, ‘Ascetic’). […]

With Halloween being just a day away, it’s the perfect time to cover this strange little film that was released in 2022, but never hit streaming/digital until just a month ago. ‘Hayride to Hell’ is a low budget indie feature that stars Bill Moseley and Kane Hodder having some zany fun, set around a haunted

Another year, another Blumhouse remake forced upon the masses. Much like everyone else, I was very skeptical at the announcement of an English language U.S. remake of a Scandinavian horror film that came out only a year prior. ‘Speak No Evil’ was one of my favorite films of 2022. It’s bleak, stomach churning, constantly stressful,

The yearly tradition has come upon us – a new entry in Shudder’s beloved V/H/S series. We’ve covered the ones from the last few years in the past here, (let us know if you’d like a list of our favorite segments – as if we were making one ‘best of’ film), so we must take

While today’s topic is certainly not

Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy was introduced to the general populace back in 2020 when his debut feature ‘Caveat’ was released. Of course, due to the unfortunate circumstances involved with 2020, the film was never given a proper release – minus Shudder streaming – and he couldn’t tour with it. Luckily, like most great artists, he

About a month ago I did a double-review on the first 2 films in the indie found-footage series ‘Horror in the High Desert’. At the time, the 3rd one was just released onto VOD networks, and I was very curious to check it out and complete the trilogy. ‘Firewatch’ takes place after the events of

Seven years after the most previous release in the ‘Alien’ franchise with ‘Covenant’, the executives over at Disney & FX have finally graced fans with a new film. This time, director Fede Alvarez is once again retconning the meta and making particular choices. In the timeline, this film takes place between the original 1979 film
