Note: spoilers of the series (including DMC 5) below. This is an old tale of two worlds at war: the Demon World (or Underworld) and the Human World. The former was ruled by Mundus, the Prince of Darkness, while the latter was protected by Sparda, the Legendary Dark Knight. Sparda defeats Mundus and seals the […]
With brutal cannibal love story Trouble Every Day, Claire Denis helped usher in a wave of French horror at the turn of the century known as New French Extremity. In High Life, Denis tries her hand at science fiction, but done in her naturalistic, heady style that trades high tech science in favor of exploring […]
Cursed objects are, on a shallow level, pretty silly. To think that an item can carry with it the ability to affect someone’s life on any level deeper than perhaps value is absurd. Yet, if you take the idea and really hone in on the implications, it’s terrifying. Something you’ve just stumbled across, that you […]
In just a few short years, S. Craig Zahler has become a recognizable name within horror and film communities thanks to his unapologetic revelry in exploitation and violence. His feature debut, Bone Tomahawk, shocked audiences with its brutal, nihilistic third act. His follow up, Brawl in Cell Block 99, delivered a deliberately paced descent in […]
We look back on Kenji Eno’s controversial “D Trilogy,” a survival horror series that’s an acquired taste, but one that features some incredible ideas! It’s not unusual for survival horror video game titles to push the boundaries of the medium and experiment around with the preconceived notions of what the video game experience entails. Horror […]
The influence of horror in Rob Zombie‘s musical endeavors is unmistakable. From homages to German expressionism in Living Dead Girl to The Munsters references in Dragula (not to mention the band name White Zombie, itself borrowed from the homonymous 1933 classic), it was quite clear that the man was a spooky cinephile long before he […]
It’s hard to believe that next year, The Chronicles of Riddick franchise will have turned twenty. The franchise that helped to cement Vin Diesel as an action star may be quiet now, but it also successfully jumped into other media, namely video games. And unlike most video game tie-ins to film/television, the two games that […]
In the vein of A Quiet Place and Bird Box, Netflix’s John R. Leonetti-directed The Silence tells the story of a family attempting to survive a world terrorized by a deadly, primeval species who hunt only with their acute hearing. While I’ve never read Tim Lebbon‘s novel, Carey and Shane Van Dyke‘s adaptation is a […]
You may remember we recently covered a game project called Negative Atmosphere, a Dead Space-inspired indie sci-fi horror game made by a small team and developed in Unreal Engine 4. Well, that team, Sun Scorched Studios took the first gameplay demo to video game showcase event EGX Rezzed in London last week, and gained a […]
The Japanese zombie-comedy One Cut of the Dead from director Shinichiro Ueda was a huge hit out of Fantasia last year, with Meagan raving in her review for us that the film “charms with surprising zombie comedy,” while also adding: “For those looking for laughs and commentary on the passions of low budget horror filmmaking, this is a must […]
