Lars Von Trier is an asshole. The director would probably admit as much himself. He’s made a career out of being a contrarian and provocateur, of making movies that are aggressive in their nihilism and despair, of revelling in his appellation as cinema’s leading enfant terrible. He’s been obliquely accused…

Spider-Man has had a real roller coaster ride in the movies since Sam Raimi’s 2002 blockbuster finally introduced the character to the big screen. Within 15 years of that film’s release, Raimi directed two sequels before Sony rebooted the series with Marc Webb at the helm, and then Marvel managed…

We are constantly looking for new and different films when it comes to bringing you the best in genre entertainment. Short films are often where you find the most exciting new filmmakers taking chances, yet most audiences don’t seek them out. With that in mind, we will be showcasing a…

If you were to ask horror fans what they thought was the worst Stephen King adaptation, and what they thought was the worst Tobe Hooper film, there would inevitably be a Venn diagram that posits THE MANGLER square in the middle. Hooper’s second King adaptation–nearly twenty years on from his perfunctorily…

    It’s that time of the year again, to go over all that’s come out over the last 12 months and choose favorites. And that’s the key word here, “favorites” — I didn’t read everything that came out in 2018 (who could?), and so make no pretenses to being…

The first and only time before last week that I had watched SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2, I said some pretty brutal things in a review on my blog. In fact, I didn’t so much write a review as I did an extended skit where I tried to imagine…

In one of the bonus featurettes on this new Scream Factory Blu-ray of the film, the production designer mentions that writer/director Kim Henkel intended TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION to be a return to the tone, feel, and look of the 1974 original. If that is truly the intent,…

      Audiences had no idea what they were in for when THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES hit theaters in the winter of 2002. Once marketing for the film was underway, the mythical (?) and titular antagonist of the film effortlessly achieved a shape and rictus based on the title alone; audiences concocted in…

    Before we get the show on the road, I’ve got a ramble to get out. I’ve always been interested in Dick Maas as a filmmaker because he takes twice-told tales and turns them into something engrossing, from his 1983 debut feature THE LIFT and its 2001 remake DOWN…

  Recently, there was a bit of an uproar on the internet (it’s a day that ends in “y,” so go figure) that streaming giant Netflix would be taking the mega-influential sitcom FRIENDS off of its service. Rather than go out to a Half Price Books and procure the series…

I love genre cinema. I will always have a soft spot for horror, action, sci-fi, and all the subgenres that exist inside those larger categories. What I have never felt any real connection to are those films that exist in the realm of pure sleaze. You know the ones: the…

The Killers are one of the last great stadium rock bands. A quartet of good looking dudes on guitar, drums, bass, and keys; they make big hooks and anthemic choruses look easy as stadiums of fans around the world sing along. They’re passionate, earnest, and have an education in rock…

    Back in the 2000s, there was no better way for a cinephile to consume a steady diet of indie film than by watching the Independent Film Channel. Sure, they would occasionally slip in arthouse movies from little known studios like Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema, films that…
