COBWEB movie poster | ©2023 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Lizzy Caplan, Woody Norman, Cleopatra Coleman, Antony Starr, Luke Busey, Jay Rincón Writer: Chris Thomas Devlin Director: Samuel Bodin Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 21, 2023 COBWEB is linear, and doesn’t try to play games with us. Even so, it feels like a child’s nightmare, with potential horror coming from many directions at once. An opening title tells us that COBWEB begins one week before Halloween. Eight-year-old Peter (Woody Norman) is an unhappy little boy. He’s bullied by his peers in class and on the playground. Peter lives in a neighborhood where the houses are old and […]Read On »

NATTY KNOCKS movie poster | ©2023 Vertical Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, Thomas Robie, Noen Perez, Channah Zeitung, Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, Robert Englund, Amit Sarin, Will Murden, Joey Bothwell, Jason James Richter Writer: Benjamin Olson Director: Dwight H. Little Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: July 21, 2023 Too often, horror movies don’t have much plot. We get a set-up, then a villain, and then it’s just stalk, fend off, and fight-fight-fight. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, but still, it’s nice to see a story with cause-and-effect plotting. That’s the case with NATTY KNOCKS. Written by Benjamin Olson and directed by Dwight H. Little, […]Read On »

Just figuring out why a serial killer would dress up in that […]Read On »

BONES AND ALL movie poster | ©2022 MGM

Rating: R Stars: Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, André Holland, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Gordon Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, Anna Cobb, Chloë Sevigny Writer: David Kajganich, based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis Director: Luca Guadagnino Distributor: MGM Release Date: November 18, 2022 (Los Angeles & New York); November 23, 2022 (wide) It’s 1988. Maren Yearly (Taylor Russell) is an eighteen-year-old with an unusual compulsion: she is occasionally driven to eat human flesh. Her father (André Holland), who does not share this trait, finally can’t take it. We get the impression that it’s not so much the running and […]Read On »

Movie Review: TERRIFIER 2

TERRIFIER 2 movie poster | ©2022 Cinedigm

Rating: Not rated Stars: Lauren LaVera, David Howard Thornton, Elliott Fullam, Sarah Voigt, Kailey Hyman, Casey Hartnett, Charlie McElveen, Samantha Scaffidi, Chris Jericho, Amelie McLain Writer: Damien Leone Director: Damien Leone Distributor: Cinedigm (theatrical), Screambox (VOD), Bloody Disgusting (all media) Release Date: October 6, 2022 The original 2016 TERRIFIER is a brisk hour and twenty-five minutes. Its new sequel, TERRIFIER 2, is two hours and eighteen minutes long. Since most slasher horror films don’t run that long, this makes TERRIFIER 2 an immediate oddity. Both TERRIFIER and TERRIFIER 2 are the epitome of hardcore slashers. It’s understandable why neither one […]Read On »

CHUCKY Season 2 Key Art | ©2022 Syfy

Whether you met killer doll Chucky (voiced in everything by Brad Dourif) in the CHILD’S PLAY films or their more playful but even gorier CHUCKY spinoffs, he was created by Don Mancini.

Now he’s brought the maniacal toy, possessed by the soul of a serial killer, to Syfy and USA, where it’s become a cult favorite. CHUCKY is in its second season on Syfy and USA Wednesday nights. It continues the plotline from the CHUCKY films, with […]Read On »

Originally released in 2010, SCARE ZONE is now being distributed on VOD and digital by Terror Films, which also hosts the movie on its own channel. SCARE ZONE has the advantage, like 2006’s DARK RIDE, […]Read On »
