★★★★ After being delayed countless times as a result of the 2020 pandemic, wendigo creature feature Antlers is finally here! In my opinion, this chilling dark horror fable was fully worth the laboriously long wait. From top to bottom (including an excellent atmospheric score from Pan’s Labyrinth composer Javier Navarrete), Antlers explodes on the screen … Continue reading Film Review: Antlers
Film Review: Warning
★★ A sci-fi anthology film for the modern age has just arrived and no, it is not a spinoff of Netflix’s Black Mirror. Warning mashes together several threads into a confused and convoluted film whose disparate parts fail to provide even passable entertainment. The only connections between the stories are the random thunderstorms supposedly ravaging … Continue reading Film Review: Warning
Film Review: 13 Fanboy
★★★ 13 Fanboy is a meta love letter to schlocky 80s horror and the fan convention scene. This campy slasher is not without a plethora of problems, but for me, it did not diminish enjoyment. Part of the fun lies in a rogues gallery of familiar horror faces—everyone from Kane Hodder (Jason in Friday 7-X), … Continue reading Film Review: 13 Fanboy
Film Review: The Estate
★★★★ If Ryan Murphy made a psycho-sexual thriller, it would look something like James Kapner’s cutting and hilarious The Estate. Billed as a “true fable,” this campy, outrageous, and decidedly not-PC film touches on all the taboos. It gives Cruel Intentions vibes, only less weighty and more ridiculous. Social and cultural commentary in relation to … Continue reading Film Review: The Estate
Film Review: Runt
★★★★ Runt is an exceptionally well-made drama, but above all else, it serves as a reminder that Cameron Boyce was a shining talent taken from us far too soon. I have been following his career since the 2008 double-dose of Mirrors and Eagle Eye, well before he blew up in Disney’s surprisingly great Descendants trilogy. … Continue reading Film Review: Runt
TV Review: Locke & Key – Season 2
After what feels like a forever-length wait thanks to the 2020 pandemic, Netflix’s horror-tinged fantasy adventure series Locke & Key is finally back for its second season! If you loved the first trip into this world, Bode (Jackson Robert Scott), Tyler (Connor Jessup), and Kinsey (Emilia Jones) are waiting to greet you once more! In … Continue reading TV Review: Locke & Key – Season 2
Film Review: Night Teeth
★★★★ Night Teeth compiles a talented cast for a vampy Netflix romp that will thrill and surprise those already fluent in vampire cinema. The all-in-one-night logline promises intriguing scripting and compact, intimate characterizations. Personally, the biggest draw for me was this outstanding cast, which includes Debby Ryan, Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney, Alexander Ludwig, and Alfie … Continue reading Film Review: Night Teeth
Film Review: Blurred Lines
★★ Blurred Lines is a coming-of-age film that rarely hits anything new we haven’t seen before from the overexposed genre. It exists in a world where superior content is available right at your fingertips, so it remains frustrating when a movie like Blurred Lines can fumble so spectacularly despite an appealing premise. I think part … Continue reading Film Review: Blurred Lines
Film Review: Halloween Kills
★★★★★ As a longtime fan of the Halloween franchise, I can safely say that I was the target audience for Halloween Kills. David Gordon Green’s brutal and satisfying descent into pure slasher madness must be seen to be believed. With a clear love for the series at large and embracing fan service with open arms, … Continue reading Film Review: Halloween Kills
TV Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer
1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer came right on the heels of Scream’s success, kick-starting the post-modern slasher boom in an exciting way. To this day, it remains not only one of my favorite horror movies, but one of my top ten favorite films of all time. That said, I was cautiously optimistic … Continue reading TV Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer
