Saturday is Family Fun day during our 31 Days of Halloween celebration, and this entry is an absolute delight. A PG-13 horror comedy that serves as a perfect introductory course to the slasher, deconstructed tropes and all, The Final Girls also offers up a slew of endlessly likable characters. Characters that bring the emotion as […]
This decade has brought not one, but three entries in Adam Green’s ultra-gory slasher series. Starting with Hatchet II, which kicked off the decade with its October 1, 2010 release. That alone would give merit to Hatchet II’s selection as our Franchise Friday pick of the week. But really, it’s because this sequel is so […]
This year has been surprisingly Critters-heavy, kicking off with Shudder’s series “Critters: A New Binge” back in March. That 8-episode return of the franchise, if you’re asking me, was quite awful, but I actually had a lot of fun with the brand new movie that came along shortly thereafter: Critters Attack!, which went straight to […]
Ten years ago, Paranormal Activity hit theaters and instantly became a massive sensation. The story of a couple documenting their haunted house on video camera struck box office gold and scared audiences across the world. And rightfully so – found footage may not be for everyone, but there is no denying that Oren Peli did […]
For those who are interested in the runtimes of upcoming movies, we’ve learned this week that Mike Flanagan‘s Doctor Sleep, an adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining that also serves as a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, will be joining this year’s IT: Chapter Two on the list of longest feature film […]
Every October, people stop whatever it is they’re doing, just to make Jack O’Lanterns. Yes, ’tis the season to buy a perfectly decent gourd, stab it with a sharp object, crack it open, scoop out its intestines and make a disembodied head out of it. And while you’re at it, why not fill that head […]
It’s day 13 out of 31 in our Halloween celebration. More importantly, it’s Sunday. That means it’s a Wild Card pick. While Halloween is typically associated with witches, ghosts, devils, and pumpkins, today we’re looking back at one of the decade’s best sci-fi horror movies; Leigh Janiak’s feature debut Honeymoon. There’s no jump scares or […]
It’s Saturday! Gather up the family or loved ones, prepare the Monster cereals or favorite movie snacks, and hit play on today’s Family Fun pick. One that’s only been available for a month now; 2019’s One Cut of the Dead. At first glance, this movie presents itself as another typical zombie flick by way of […]
By the time you get to the fifth entry of any franchise, quality can be a gamble. There’s a risk of convoluted mythology this deeply entrenched into the series, or even a real possibility of tired repetition. That doesn’t even touch upon the complications behind the scenes if the torch gets passed between films. Sometimes […]
It’s been 81 years since Charles Addams introduced the world to The Addams Family, a clutch of morbid weirdos whose monstrous appearance and ghoulish activities were but a thin veneer for an otherwise wholesome and loving American family. Those original comic strips appeared in The New Yorker and were not specifically intended for children, and […]
