★★★★ At long last, a third cinematic take on the Silent Hill video game series has come to fruition. This time around, returning director Christophe Gans (2006's excellent Silent Hill) has spent two decades crafting a love letter to the uncontested fan favorite: Silent Hill 2. Every major character in that game features at least … Continue reading Film Review: Return to Silent Hill
Interview: Writer/Director Christophe Gans
Any obsessive survival horror gamer will be the first to spill about the iconic excellence of 2001's Silent Hill 2. The franchise at large may have started in the shadow of Resident Evil, but through the foggy mysteries of its small town and the freakiness of its monsters, a human element peaked through to give … Continue reading Interview: Writer/Director Christophe Gans
Film Review: Killer Whale
★★ Aquatic horror is a tricky type of genre offshoot, incredibly difficult to get right especially in the shadow of the legendary Jaws. Fully knowing that nothing can ever attempt to compete, when these movies hit right, they are a ton of fun. Last year's Dangerous Animals proved there's a way to make aquatic horror … Continue reading Film Review: Killer Whale
Film Review: Night Patrol
★ Maybe it's a little early to proclaim a title as one of the year's worst, but fangless horror flick Night Patrol aggressively makes its case quite strong. A total mess of a script from four different screenwriters—Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson, Shaye Ogbonna, and director Ryan Prows—has some clever messaging in mind. Unfortunately, it fails … Continue reading Film Review: Night Patrol
4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Freaked
★★★★★ Over three decades since its initial release, underrated bizarro masterpiece Freaked finally gets the overstuffed, magically wonderful 4K treatment it so rightfully deserves. Alex Winter and Tom Stern’s mutant satire—once misunderstood, mishandled, and prematurely discarded—always deserved so much more. Perhaps blowing up once it hit video rental and cable stations wasn't what they initially … Continue reading 4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Freaked

Film Review: We Bury the Dead
★★★★ The Walking Dead single-handedly revitalized the zombie subgenre of horror in the 2010s, but since then, many of them have felt a bit copy and paste. Rarely do we see a post-apocalyptic story that either changes the game, or feels different enough from what came before to leave its own unique stamp. Enter: We … Continue reading Film Review: We Bury the Dead

Film Review: Silent Night, Deadly Night
★★★★★ Christmas and horror are not exactly synonymous, and yet holiday genre flicks have become their own distinct category in the wake of 1974's Black Christmas. One of the most infamous, having been pulled from theaters during its original run, was 1984's Silent Night, Deadly Night. In a most unexpected turn of events, that twink-turned-killer-Santa … Continue reading Film Review: Silent Night, Deadly Night
Film Review: The Carpenter’s Son
★★ Depending on one's familiarity with religious texts, perhaps the claims of The Carpenter's Son being based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas will be significant. For this viewer, that meant very little; however, following the storyline comes relatively easy when pared down to the basic elements. This is a version of the traditional story … Continue reading Film Review: The Carpenter’s Son
