★★★★★ At this point in time, bestselling author Stephen King may be one of the most prolific voices in film and television, in addition to being an enormously major voice in book horror. When he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, he brought a decidedly different flavor that colored a body of work often tinged … Continue reading 4K Film Review: The Running Man
Film Review: Slanted
★★★★ Obviously the subgenre has existed for decades, yet The Substance truly made body horror cool again. One of horror's most unsung categories gets a racial facelift with Slanted, a twisted coming-of-age tale about the cost of popularity, and the insane price of beauty. Ryan Murphy just tapped into genuine greatness with FX's The Beauty, … Continue reading Film Review: Slanted
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

Brooklyn Horror 2025: Affection
★★★★ A genre-bending horror/sci-fi flick is always a welcome addition to any film festival. Enter: Affection, a twisty single-setting slice of horror with budding scream queen Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) at the center. Going in blind was probably a good choice, as writer/director BT Meza crafts an exciting feature debut full of shocks and … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2025: Affection
Fantastic Fest 2025: V/H/S Halloween
★★★★ Eight movies deep, and still the unexpectedly brilliant found footage V/H/S franchise shows no signs of stopping. The latest, aptly titled V/H/S Halloween, presents a new frontier for a series that constantly reinvents itself with new blood thanks to its anthology format. This time around, the Halloween theme seeps into each separate segment. As … Continue reading Fantastic Fest 2025: V/H/S Halloween
TV Review: Gen V – Season 2
Welcome back to Godolkin University, a sprawling campus overflowing with unique budding superheroes and a chaotic underground plot to overthrow the power of Homelander. In the interim between seasons, a lot has changed for the denizens of Gen V. Most notably, Chance Perdomo, who played one of the leads, Andre, tragically passed away. This lead … Continue reading TV Review: Gen V – Season 2
4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Jurassic World: Rebirth
★★★★ As a massive fan of the Jurassic Park franchise, it was difficult not to be skeptical of Rebirth. After all, the “end of the Jurassic era” just occurred merely three years ago with the massively disappointing Jurassic World: Dominion. Why would there be a series reboot so soon afterward, and would it have anything … Continue reading 4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Jurassic World: Rebirth
Film Review: The Toxic Avenger
★★★★ Troma's signature series, The Toxic Avenger, has been revived, keeping much of the same silly atmosphere that made the original so distinct. Emmy winner Peter Dinklage steps into the shoes of Toxie himself, though his performance mainly consists of the vocal variety since Luisa Guerreiro actually plays the physical Toxie under heavy prosthetics. There's … Continue reading Film Review: The Toxic Avenger
