Though NBC normally premieres a new season of Hannibal in the first quarter of each year, we learned just a couple weeks back that those plans have changed for 2015, with Season 3 headed our way sometime this summer. In other words, the wait is going to be longer than anticipated, which is needless to …
This week my quick-fire Q&A features a chat with mega talent Casey Callender, an artist I have been following with great interest for some time. For many reasons his work represents the kind of art I desperately wish studios would once again embrace in an official way for movie promotion … it’s infused with that …
Before we even begin, I just want to say that I don’t mean to criticize anyone with what I’m about to type. In fact, I myself am guilty of many of the things I’m going to be ranting about. All I’m looking to do here is start an intelligent discussion, and get some thoughts off …
In 2012, Cabin in the Woods systematically deconstructed the ‘young people in a cabin’ sub-genre, imparting the message that enough is quite frankly enough, and it’s time for a change. Ever since then, it’s been hard to take movies of that sort seriously, though every once in a while a film comes along and reminds …

A guy with some impressive credentials, to say the …

I often say that a horror movie need not reinvent the proverbial wheel to be effective, as sometimes all one needs to do is simply roll it well. That’s something last year’s standout possession movie, The Taking of Deborah Logan, very much did, and 2015 kicks off on a similar note with The Atticus Institute. …
It’s somewhat surprising that the Creepshow franchise didn’t go further than it did, as the 1982 film was a big time hit for Warner Bros – both critically and financially. A sequel to the EC Comics-inspired anthology followed in 1987, which similarly turned a respectable profit. In 2007, rights-holders Taurus Entertainment released a film called …
It’s always exciting to discover things about your favorite movies that you had never noticed, despite watching them countless times. On a recent viewing of Friday the 13th: Part 3, for example, I noticed something that I was pretty surprised about, and fairly shocked that I had never before picked up on. Early in the …
