Don’t Click is the kind of movie that feels like a moral you’d get in a chain email from 2004—“If you watch bad things online, something worse will watch you”—except here the spam actually follows through and ruins your life. And somehow, it’s pretty fun to watch it happen. Hell is Other People’s Browser History … Read More “Don’t Click” »
Death of Me is the kind of movie that feels less like a horror film and more like a dare: “How long can you keep watching this before your soul quietly walks out of the room?” Spoiler: my soul left around the time Maggie Q vomited a snake. On paper, this had potential. Darren Lynn … Read More “Death of Me” »
If you’ve ever watched a standard exorcism movie and thought, “This really needs more midlife crisis, Catholic guilt, and a priest who 100% should be in therapy, not in ministry,” then The Day of the Lord is here for you—swinging a Bible in one hand and severe emotional damage in the other. It’s a grim, … Read More “The Day of the Lord” »
The Dark and the Wicked is the kind of movie that makes you think, “You know what, maybe I won’t move to a quiet farm and live simply with goats and my thoughts.” Because in Bryan Bertino’s world, the goats die, the thoughts lie to you, and the devil is basically subletting your soul without … Read More “The Dark and the Wicked” »
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is what you get if someone watched The Witch, decided it needed 30% more petty neighbors, and then asked, “Okay, but what if mother–daughter issues were an actual supernatural contagion?” It’s a slow-burning, fog-drenched Canadian folk horror where wheat fields die, livestock rot, men brood, and women quietly run everything … Read More “The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw” »
Come Play is what happens when you hand the Slender Man your iPad, give him abandonment issues, and then ask him to co-parent a sensitive autistic child with two very tired millennials. Somehow, that’s a compliment. Jacob Chase’s feature expands his short film Larry into a full-length bedtime story from hell—equal parts creature feature, family … Read More “Come Play” »
There’s a moment, somewhere around the point where the castle monster rapes the boyfriend, when you realize Castle Freak (2020) isn’t just going off the rails—it’s doing donuts in a burning train yard while screaming “Yog-Sothoth!” in your face. This remake of Stuart Gordon’s 1995 cult film (itself a loose Lovecraft mash-up) is technically about … Read More “Castle Freak (2020)” »
Books of Blood is the sort of movie that makes you seriously question whether anyone involved actually likes books, blood, or stories. It’s “based on Clive Barker,” in roughly the same way instant noodles are “based on cuisine.” Technically true, spiritually insulting. This anthology is supposed to be a twisted tapestry of interlocking horror tales. … Read More “Books of Blood” »
If you’ve ever watched a campus orientation video and thought, “This would really be improved by a full-blown zombie apocalypse and some light political commentary,” Block Z is the movie that heard you, nodded solemnly, and then hurled blood at your face. It’s messy, loud, occasionally on-the-nose, and absolutely committed to two things: Turning a … Read More “Block Z” »
Amulet is the kind of horror movie that looks at the usual “sad man with trauma gets redemption” arc and says, “Absolutely not. Put that down. You don’t deserve nice things.” It’s strange, sticky, layered, and confidently weird — like someone made a Catholic guilt art film, filled it with mold, bats and intestines, and … Read More “Amulet” »
