Dearest Gentle Reader, Lady Whistledown returns for more gossipy hijinks as Bridgerton boldly enters its Cinderella era! That's right—this time, the love story between maid Sophie (Yerin Ha) and hot Bridgerton brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) has been charged with the fairy tale energy of that timeless tale. This will come as little surprise to those … Continue reading TV Review: Bridgerton – Season 4

Theater Review: Blackout Songs
Not often does a show or movie come along that makes one question their life choices, or at the very least stop to appreciate the one they have been given. Off Broadway drama Blackout Songs has a bit of a title misnomer. Alas, this is not a musical, nor does it contain a bevy of … Continue reading Theater Review: Blackout Songs
Film Review: Return to Silent Hill
★★★★ 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
Film Review: One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5
★★★★ There may be no convincing way to sell the largeness of the Stranger Things phenomena to an outsider. Having followed the show since day one, I still remember needing to special-order custom merchandise due to the Netflix breakout itself having zero out at the time. Wearing it to a convention was akin to having … Continue reading Film Review: One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5
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
My Favorite Films of 2025
2025 was filled with bold, risky sequels, masterful Stephen King adaptations, striking visuals, and powerful reimaginings. It was another great year to be a horror fan. Filmmakers leaned into the emotional stakes and musicality of being human. Join me as I count down my twenty five favorite films of the year! Honorable Mentions These ones … Continue reading My Favorite Films of 2025
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
