[Film Review] Bone Lake (2025)

There is something paradoxical about the idea of a weekend getaway, searching for comfort by taking ourselves out of our comfort zones. Perhaps the change of scenery, a disruption in routine, an escape from the pressures of our daily lives, will reveal to us a path towards solitude.

[Film Review] 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

The Bone Temple is the sequel to 28 Years Later that we deserve. Director Nia DaCosta took the beauty and spectacle that Danny Boyle gave us with 28 Years Later and turned it up to eleven. It’s darker, more disturbing and more… camp? Deliciously, delightfully camp.

[Film Review] Pelverata (2025)

The atmosphere seeping from every pore of this film is certainly its biggest strength; however, the narrative and structure fall quite short of the intended impact.

[Film Review] A study of the human ability to endure self-inflicted pain in XXXDarknet: Red Lips

According to the opening credits of the film, the Darknet is a place feverishly depraved to the point of questioning if humanity even exists, with a slathering of heinous crimes committed all for the purchase and pleasure of the sick individuals that find themselves beholden to their inner most sadistic wants.

[Event Review] Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody (2023)

For any horror fan, a musical parody of the Saw franchise would be a treat. But a very campy, very queer musical reimagining of the plot? Now that's a little piece of heaven.

[Film Review] Sympathy for the Devil (2023)

If you know me at all, you know that I love, as many people do, the work of Nic Cage. Live by the Cage, die by the Cage. So, when the opportunity to review this came up, I jumped at it.

[Film Review] Kill Your Lover (2023)

When someone is in a toxic relationship, it can affect more than just their heart and mind. Their bodies can weaken or change due to the continued stress and unhappiness that comes from the toxicity.

[Film Review] Shaky Shivers (2022)

If you can’t count on your best friend to check your teeth and hands and stand vigil with you all night to make sure you don’t wolf out, who can you count on? And so begins our story on anything but an ordinary night in 1993…

[Film Review] Elevator Game (2023)

The best thing about urban legends is the delicious thrill of the forbidden. Don’t say “Bloody Mary” in the mirror three times in a dark room unless you’re brave enough to summon her. Don’t flash your headlights at a car unless you want to have them drive you to your death.

[Book Review] Wylding Hall (2015)

It's fitting that Elizabeth Hand's novel Wylding Hall (2015) won the Shirley Jackson Award; her writing echoes and pays homage to the subtle scariness and psychological horror of Shirley Jackson's works.

[Film Review] Perpetrator (2023)

Perpetrator opens with a girl walking alone in the dark. Her hair is long and loose just begging to be yanked back and her bright clothes—a blood red coat, in fact—is a literal matador’s cape for anything that lies beyond the beam of her phone screen.

[Film Review] Mercy Falls (2023)

Filmed on location in Scotland, Ryan Hendrick's new thriller Mercy Falls (2023) uses soaring views of the Scottish Highlands to show that the natural world can either provide shelter or be used as a demented playground for people to hurt each other.
