Body Horror is not my favourite subgenre I must admit and I didn’t know much about The Substance (2024) prior to watching it, other than the brief plot outline and that it starred Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. I have watched quite a few of Qualley’s films and am pretty impressed with her range and […]
I watched Mike Flanagan’s new Netflix series the week it premiered but I needed a little bit of time to mull over my thoughts (and do several other things that had nothing to do with writing this). I am a genuine fan of his work. I loved his adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House

It’s been quite some time since I’ve done a review and a post. So, after a much-needed hiatus, I’m ready to review! With the recent buzz over the announced Scream 7, I thought I’d take an in-depth look at the predecessor (and most current) film of the franchise, Scream VI (2023) I recently re-watched the movie

On the nefarious battlefields of the comic crusades, I would probably have to side with the DC universe, but only because I’m somewhat of a traditionalist. As a youngster though, I read both Dc and Marvel and when I learnt that Morbius (2022) would be developed into a feature film, I was a teeny-weeny bit

Admit it! You’ve gazed up at a full moon at least once and wondered if one of “them” was hunting and preying in the nearby shadows. Although they are inherently steeped in mythology and urban lore, werewolves could very well exist. I’ve never personally encountered one but I’m not about to dismiss that possibility. Anything

Most movie buffs know at least one or two tidbits of horror movie trivia. You can always find a lot of stuff on the internet of course but I thought that I write a post including some of that trivia and, some of those fascinating (or not so fascinating for some) facts that people may
I want to dedicate an entire post to one of my all-time favourite horror auteurs; the late, exceptionally great Wes Craven. Having just watched the latest Scream (2022) instalment, I found myself pondering what the film would have been like had he been able to direct it. The films that he directed were the

Let’s start with some facts about this film, beginning with the ‘Nots’. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) is NOT a great movie. It is not a remake of the original nor is it an authentic “sequel to the original” as producer/co-writer Fede Alvarez states. Okay, now with those pressing matters out of the way, we can discuss
