Cody Calahan’s Vicious Fun will largely be remembered for its untapped potential. The movie has a promising premise: A film critic accidentally stumbles into a self-help group for serial killers. Despite having an original and humorous idea though, Vicious Fun never takes full advantage of it. What we get is a fairly lackluster and formulaic […]
Even after revisiting some of the greatest zombie movies ever made, my appetite for undead carnage has persisted. Enter Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. AOTD follows a band of mercenaries, led by the hulking Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), as they attempt to recover $200 million from a casino vault within an overrun Las Vegas. […]
Zombies! These undead movie monsters have had many alterations through the years.

Creepshow set itself apart from other anthologies through its unique direction, creative stories, and masterful special effects. Now, almost 40 years later, the torch has been passed on to an understudy of […]
Insanity. A perfect descriptor of Tobe Hooper’s timeless classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time, the movie shocked and terrified audiences upon its initial release in 1974. The film’s success is even more impressive when considering it had an estimated budget of only $300,000 (about […]
On the surface, Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse is a story about two lighthouse keepers driven to insanity. However, nothing is at seems in this film. Like Eggers’ first film The Witch, The Lighthouse is a period piece. Set in the late 1890s, the film’s two main characters, Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and Thomas Howard (Robert […]
