Rating: Not Rated Stars: Chloë Levine, Will Peltz, Peter Vack, Clarissa Thibeaux, Grace Van Dien, Gillian White, Kio Cyr, Bries Vannon, Emily Mei, Billy Kottkamp, Draya Michele, Johnathon Schaech Writer: Racheal Cain Director: Racheal Cain Distributor: Yellow Veil Pictures Release Date: August 29, 2025 (theatrical), September 9, 2025 (VOD) Sometimes it’s hard for a movie to effectively cover and combine all of its disparate topics. This is the case with SOMNIUM, which presents us with three intertwined plotlines: one is a science-fiction/horror thriller, one is a trying-to-make-it-in-Hollywood tale, and one is a retrospective look at lost love. We meet Gemma […]Read On »

A HARD PLACE | ©2025 50 Caliber Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Felissa Rose, Lynn Lowry, Rachel Amanda Bryant, Kevin Caliber, Jennifer Stone, Ashley Undercuffler, Scott Alan Ward, Miranda Bourke, Steven Morris, Natalia Santacoloma, Holly Rockwell, Sadie Katz Writers: Michael J. Preston & J. Horton Director: J. Horton Distributor: 50 Caliber Productions Release Date: May 27, 2025 (VOD) Once upon a time, there were movie theatres that resembled blind grab bags. We knew very broadly going in whether something was horror or action or sexploitation, but mostly, we’d never heard of the specific films playing before we saw the posters in the marquees. The movies were usually made […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Eiza González, Aaron Paul, Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, Beulah Koale, Flying Lotus Writer: Jonni Remmler Director: Flying Lotus Distributor: IFC Films/RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: March 21, 2025 “Ash” is the colloquial name of Planet AOI-442. We’re on a scientific outpost established here, one of many set up throughout the galaxy in hopes of finding a new world suitable for humankind. We learn this gradually, as we wake up with extremely confused Riya (Eiza González), who is on the floor of her quarters. Riya is having horrifying visions of mutilated people. She has a wound on her forehead, […]Read On »

Fortunately, the end result is pretty good in terms of what the filmmakers are going for, even if we do have to accept that most of the […]Read On »

Movie Review: SNOW VALLEY

SNOW VALLEY movie poster | ©2024 Gravitas Ventures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rachel Michiko Whitney, Cooper van Grootel, Tom Williamson, David Lambert, Paige Elkington, Ali Fumiko Whitney, Barbara Crampton, Zachary Bird Writer: Brandon Murphy Director: Brandon Murphy Distributor: Gravitas Ventures Release Date: April 2, 2024 (digital) Technically, SNOW VALLEY could be described as a contemporary Gothic horror comedy. That would give the wrong impression, though. SNOW VALLEY isn’t making fun of Gothic horror so much as it is having fun within that genre’s conventions. It’s not a parody, but rather a dark comedy of manners that overlaps with lethal danger. Writer/director Brandon Murphy begins the film with a […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Portia Chellelynn, Michelle Morris, Julie Anne Prescott, Erin Trimble, Shonda Laverty, Andie Noir, John Johnson, Joe Padgett, Solon Tsangaras Writers: Bobby Easley & Ken Wallace Director: Bobby Easley Distributor: Horror Wasteland Pictures International Release Date: July 5, 2022 (digital/DVD) Fun fact: H.P. Lovecraft’s 1932 short story “The Dreams in the Witch House” really is partly about geometry. Lovecraft’s protagonist, Walter Gilman, is a mathematician trying to prove that certain shapes and planes, in relation to one another, can create gateways to other universes. That angle (pardon the pun) has been adopted in H.P. LOVECRAFT’S WITCH HOUSE, […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2

THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2 Blu-ray| ©2019 Arrow Video

Stars: Michael Berryman, Tamara Stafford, John Bloom, John Laughlin, Janus Blythe Writer: Wes Craven Director: Wes Craven Distributor: Arrow Video Suggested Retail Price: $34.99 Filmed before Wes Craven’s seminal 1984 classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and released in the U.S. a year later, THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2 is an obvious cash grab by all involved serving as a follow-up to Craven’s own 1977 cult hit. While some of the inventiveness Craven displayed in ELM STREET is missing here, there is some considerable charm to THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2 in both its coherent and incoherent attempts […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE

MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE Blu-ray | ©2019 Vinegar Syndrome

Rated: R Stars: Bill Thurman, Anna Chappell, Will Mitchell Writer: Jim McCullough Jr. Director: Jim McCullough Sr. Distributor: Vinegar Syndrome Suggested Retail Price: $24.99 While not as well known as most slasher movies from the 1980s, MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE is a curious relic from the era that has actually aged quite gracefully. Directed by Jim McCullough Sr. and written by Jim McCullough Jr. , the film mixes PSYCHO with standard slasher fare for an occasionally spooky and atmospheric ride accompanied by a creepy score by Rob Dilulio. The film begins with the introduction of Mountaintop Motel proprietor Evelyn (Anna Chappell), […]Read On »
