Satire is a tricky thing in 2022. Many have claimed it’s impossible to satirize the current moment, as reality has become so ridiculous that everything is essentially a parody of itself. Others express frustration at the commonality of microaggressions or verbal attacks masquerading as “jokes”. It’s also, obviously, a very frustrating time to be alive, […]
Nope, Jordan Peele’s latest horror-comedy epic is intensely enigmatic. At times both profound and confounding, this is an incredibly dense movie, filled with metaphors and symbolism it oftentimes leaves up to you to decipher. While it is certainly possible to enjoy the movie’s narrative at face value, I’m sure many will walk away from it […]
Wes Craven’s original Scream was a genre-defining masterpiece. Prior to its 1996 release, mainstream horror was pretty much dead. Audiences had grown tired of the increasingly ludicrous sequels popular franchises were churning out at that point. The only move left was to make a horror movie about horror movies. Through its meta deconstruction of slasher […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The leaves are falling, pumpkins are being carved, and knife-wielding maniacs are stalking their way through small suburban towns. Yes, the long-awaited, long-delayed newest installment in the Halloween franchise is finally in theaters and on Peacock this weekend, delivering all the gory thrills horror fans long for […]
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. From the supernatural voodoo zombies of the 1930s to the infectious viral zombies of today, filmmakers continue to find ways to keep these creatures alive (undead rather) and relevant. A large reason why the zombie subgenre has remained so popular is because of […]
Season two of Creepshow made sure to save its best for last. Greg Nicotero returns as director in season two’s fifth and final episode, Night of the Living Late Show. Justin Long (Drag Me to Hell) stars in this high concept story as Simon, inventor of a VR machine called the ‘Immersopod’. This high-tech invention […]
The journey into ’80s horror continues with In Search of Darkness: Part II. David A. Weiner’s epic documentary begins with a veracious quote from renowned horror director Dario Argento: “Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing.” Argento’s sentiment perfectly encapsulates the horror genre. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, […]
In 1982, horror icons George A. Romero, Stephen King, and Tom Savini collaborated to create one of the greatest horror anthologies ever made. 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 […]
