Brooklyn Horror 2025: Violence
★★★★ Rohan Campbell may be one of the most underrated young actors in the modern horror sphere, cementing a scream king status with each new genre notch on his belt. Violence only entered my orbit when I spotted Campbell among the cast. Later this year, he has another major horror franchise release incoming with a … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2025: Violence
Brooklyn Horror 2025: Every Heavy Thing
★★★★ Now this one was a pleasant surprise. My only familiarity with writer/director Mickey Reece was 2021's genre oddity Agnes, a film that featured a strange gear shift to the narrative that frankly did not sit very well with me. Whilst Every Heavy Thing certainly had a more compelling hook to it than Agnes, it … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2025: Every Heavy Thing
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
Brooklyn Horror 2025: Tinsman Road
★★★★★ Robbie Banfitch's debut, The Outwaters, was a kaleidoscopic vision of found footage horror, a vibe-driven, sun-drenched, chaotic creation that left me craving more. For his sophomore feature, Banfitch tethers his family to a decidedly different brand of genre curiosities. An emotionally moving and fully-formed narrative give Tinsman Road an entirely different feel from what … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2025: Tinsman Road

Brooklyn Horror 2022: Terror Train
★★★ Maybe no one really asked for a remake to 1980’s seminal Jamie Lee Curtis post-Halloween horror classic, Terror Train, but it has arrived anyway just in time for spooky season courtesy of Tubi! Yes, the streamer infamous for its sheer breadth of horror titles and various other free streaming options now has a notable … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2022: Terror Train
Brooklyn Horror 2022: Christmas Bloody Christmas
★★★★ Who doesn’t love a good Christmas horror movie? My personal favorites are 2006’s Black Christmas and Krampus, both of which I have on a yearly rotation during the holidays. Now I may finally have a third to add to my list! For what was originally pitched as a remake to Silent Night, Deadly Night, … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2022: Christmas Bloody Christmas
Brooklyn Horror 2022: Influencer
★★★★ As unexpectedly appearing as they often do, I seem to have discovered a new horror/thriller that neatly slides into one of my favorite unsung subgenres: obsessive psycho bitch. Influencer, from Spiral director Kurtis David Harder and co-writer Tesh Gutti, feels like a modern day Single White Female told through a strikingly feminine lens. I … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2022: Influencer
Brooklyn Horror 2022: V/H/S/99
★★★★ An actually good full-length anthology film is a rarity, let alone one that defies all expectations to become a long-running franchise. Ever the outlier, V/H/S delivers another stellar entry with V/H/S/99. Y2K mania and consistent genre filmmaking come to a beautiful meeting, raining the audience in buckets of blood and spooky delights. The great … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2022: V/H/S/99
