Of all the horror icons born of the ‘80s, it’s pint-sized killer doll Chucky that’s still thriving. Between a new TV series in the works by the original creators and an unaffiliated reboot looming, Chucky’s lust for blood remains as strong as it was 30 years ago, when Child’s Play stabbed its way into theaters […]
Here is a list of my favorite horror movies of all time. This list is not judging the best or scaryest horror movies of all time. These are what I would call the best horror movies to watch around the Halloween season. So do not expect to see some of my favorite horror movies like […]
The opening scene for A Quiet Place, one of this year’s best horror films, is immediately compelling, introducing us to the Abbot family and wasting no time ushering us right into the horrifying situation they’ve found themselves in. At the end of this opening sequence, one of the Abbot children is killed by a monster, […]
J.J. Abrams loves horror. Everything he makes involves horror in some way. Whether it’s a big, lumbering monster spewing back-bursting parasites into the subways of New York or a strange island filled with things that don’t belong, horror is everywhere in Abrams’ filmography. Overlord, Abrams’ latest effort as producer, is no different. It follows a […]
If you're a fan of cult films, you know that nothing satisfies you more than watching what could be best described at a bad attempt at making something called 'art'. Well, sometimes that's a bit harsh. Truth be told, a cult film is really just a movie that takes on a life of its own, […]
Long before the days of CGI, the team responsible for bringing Chucky to life in the original Child’s Play had to get incredibly creative, utilizing various techniques to make it appear as if the killer doll was actually walking, talking and slashing. It’s quite a remarkable film in the effects department, that’s for damn sure, […]
The ‘90s often get a bad rap with horror fans. After the numerous successful slashers and creature effects films of ‘80s, the ‘90s offered a different variety of horror fare. Though there were plenty of hits, hidden gems, and misunderstood classics, the ‘90s usually don’t get the kind of love that other decades get when it […]
In a previous post, I discussed the sad state of mainstream horror. Actually, that was my original intention. However, even writing about the pathetic retreads and overall lack of imagination that has stricken Hollywood left me exhausted. Instead, I picked on Dennis Quaid for a few paragraphs and went to sleep. I'd much rather expend […]
With October come and gone, there’s not much new going on other than Amazon Studios’ limited release of Suspiria, which shifted from only two theaters last weekend into 311 this time around. It’s unclear just how wide it will go next weekend (Amazon has not returned my inquiries), but last weekend it made an insane $89,003 per screen […]
Writer Damon Lindelof (TV’s Lost, World War Z, Prometheus) and his fellow The Leftovers’ collaborator Nick Cuse bring audiences on The Hunt, a new politically charged action-thriller from director Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers). While no details have been revealed, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal that the film is about a bunch of […]
