Amongst horror fans, Lifeforce remains one of the most tragically underseen gems of the 1980s horror boom. Directed by genre maverick Tobe Hooper hot on the heels of Poltergeist, this eccentric sci-fi vampire tale failed to make a major splash upon release but has gone on to earn a devoted …
Skinamarink Review I tend to go on a bit of an analog horror binge during this time of year. Usually, I stick with a series on YouTube, but I happened to see this movie in a Film Theory thumbnail and figured I’d give my two cents. Now I know this …
In the vast slasher sequel landscape, there exists a strange breed of follow-ups that wildly diverge from their predecessors. While most recapitulate the formula that worked to diminishing returns, these oddball entries throw expectations out the window and warp the material into something new and bizarre. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The …
Revealer is the latest micro-budget horror outing from writer/director Luke Boyce, whose previous efforts have focused on elevating exploitation and grindhouse tropes with social commentary. This time, Boyce bites off more than he can chew, attempting to fuse a survival horror about two ideologically opposed women trapped together with half-baked …
I was eager to revisit Ken Russell’s 1986 cult classic Gothic. This surreal and stylized take on the fabled night Mary Shelley conceived Frankenstein has all the ingredients to delight fans of phantasmagoric cinema. Russell wastes no time plunging viewers into the libertine world of Lord Byron, surrounding the poet …
Tubi continues churning out lively original genre films to devour, and their 2021 vampire outing Captive should sufficiently sate B-movie fans’ bloodlust. Helmed by director Gregg Simon, this fast-paced creature feature combines familiar tropes with engrossing twists to deliver modest but entertaining horror action. And leading lady Scout Taylor-Compton shines …
As a devotee of all things horror, I entered my viewing of Insidious: The Red Door with an open mind but alas, found this sequel to deliver diminishing returns. Trading the atmospheric tension of the original for loud jump scares and unearned story turns, The Red Door shortchanges fans of …
Horror hounds, get ready to relive the gory glory days of 80s slashers – Calvin Morie McCarthy’s indie screamfest Pillow Party Massacre aims to be a blood-soaked trip down memory lane.

When a group of friends plans a ski trip to ring in the new year, they expect winter weather but get far more than they bargained for in the tepid thriller “Snow Falls.” What begins as a festive getaway in an isolated mountain cabin soon descends into paranoia and madness …
You know what they say – the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but you really shouldn’t go in there alone. Tubi’s new original film Cabin Girl proves that venturing into the forest in search of isolation might just dig up secrets better left buried. When protagonist Ava heads to …
At first glance, Bad Girl Boogey seems to have all the hallmarks of a formulaic teens-in-peril slasher, but don’t be fooled by appearances, Bad Girl Boogey is more than just another slasher rehash. Beneath the surface, Director/Co-writer Alice Maio Mackay’s low-budget indie horror film has vital messages about society, that …
The Devil Comes at Night slithers into your psyche with all the subtly of a serpent in the dead of night. Directed by Scott Leaver, who co-wrote the screenplay with stars Ryan Allen and Adrienne Kress, the film plunges viewers into darkness and danger from the opening frame. We first …
Phil Messerer’s ‘Oops! You’re a Vampire’ aims to blend black comedy, family drama and horror but struggles with consistency. Messerer’s debut concerns the Baxters, whose teen daughter Helen becomes a vampire after a spell by her sister goes awry. Rather than descend into bloodlust, Helen’s condition binds her oddball clan …
The Amityville Curse is the latest film to resurrect the “true” story of the Amityville haunting that permeates popular culture. Based loosely on Hans Holzer’s 1982 book, this 2023 Tubi Original aims to reimagine the chilling tale for modern audiences. However, the Amityville franchise has churned out countless uninspired sequels …
What do you get when you take a poorly functioning middle-aged man and have him spend the night with a dominatrix? You get On The Edge. We recently published a post in which we discuss the new movie that the Soska Sisters have produced, and you can find it here. …
