Review: LandLords — Vampires, Poverty, and the Price of Survival
Remington Smith’s debut feature LandLords sinks its teeth into a setting horror has long ignored: short-term housing and seedy motels where survival itself is the real nightmare. Forget the gothic castles and velvet capes—Smith trades them in for bugs, cracked...
Review: Terroir — A Wickedly Witty Sip of Horror Comedy
There’s something deliciously satisfying about watching pretension meet its grisly end, and Terroir pours that pleasure in a perfect vintage. This award-winning student short—fresh off its Best Student Film win at Screamfest—proves that a clever script, sharp...
“The Weedhacker Massacre” — High on Camp, Low on Logic (and That’s the Point)
Full disclaimer: I don’t usually like horror comedies—unless Bruce Campbell is flailing around with a chainsaw hand. Evil Dead? Masterpiece. But for the rest, I tend to prefer my horror dark, moody, and without the giggle track. So take this review with a grain of...

You Can Never Go Home Again: Grappling with the Monsters Within

(Don’t) Say My Name: Rumpelstiltskin (2025)
In a cinematic cauldron brimming with jump scares, overused tropes, and Blumhouse wannabes, Rumpelstiltskin dares to dance to a different (and deliciously deranged) tune. This small-budget reimagining of the classic Grimm tale spins its own thread of horror, weaving...

It’s that time of the year again. For those of you who love horror films, it’s that time of the year all your round. But it’s always extra special when a horror film is centered around Halloween. “Trick ‘R Treat” is one of my new favorite classics, “House of 1000...
‘Crawl or Die’: Just the Trailer will Make You Feel Claustrophobic

Creepy Crawlers in Tiny Spaces: Interview with ‘Crawl or Die’s’ Nicole Alonso
Horror has earned a bit of a bad rap with women over the years, often making them weak and vulnerable, and of course, naked. Hey, we get it guys; you like boobs. It's not a crime. But when a movie has a kickass female lead -- and doesn't use gratuitous flesh to sell...
