It can be too easy to write off a sequel.

From atomic monsters to “nature attacks” features, horror has long explored humankind’s effect on the environment.

It’s hard to pin down what kind of film The Block Island Sound is, but that’s actually a large part of its appeal. The film hails from siblings Kevin & Matthew McManus, who were responsible for Netflix’s short-lived two season wonder American Vandal.

More often than not, there’s safety in numbers. Being alone can make you vulnerable to predators, human or otherwise. If you’re female, traveling alone at night can be downright perilous.

I’ve had a passion for found-footage ever since I first laid eyes on The Blair Witch Project. I don’t think there’s any other sub-genre out there that can reduce filmmaking to its bare essentials and still craft highly effective stories that are just as impactful in your living room or laptop as they are on […]

Horror remakes often get a bad rap. For fans, nothing draws ire as fast as a remake announcement of a highly regarded original. In other words, there’s immense pressure for any filmmaker attempting to approach a beloved property with their own vision. But while there have been plenty of maligned horror remakes over the years, […]
