Movie Review: Exists (2014)

I consider myself somewhat of a Bigfoot enthusiast, endlessly fascinated by the potential existence of the beast and eager to devour any film that promises to bring him to life. Unfortunately, horror movies featuring Sasquatch have been pretty bad over the years – and that’s kind of an understatement. It’s for this reason that I

Holiday Horror Review: Christmas Evil (1980)

As a tie-in with their recent Blu-ray release, Vinegar Syndrome brought Christmas Evil to the Alamo Drafthouse’s New York location this past Friday night, allowing me to cross a big time goal off my holiday bucket list.

Holiday Horror Review: Black X-Mas (2006)

As a hardcore fan of Black Christmas, I am inherently wired to hate Black X-Mas. Why? Because it’s a fucking terrible remake of Black Christmas. But I don’t hate it. In fact, I kind of love it.

He’s Back: Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Terminator Genisys Trailer

The Terminator franchise has been a part of my movie watching journey for as long as I can remember. I watched the original with my dad multiple times back in the glory days of VHS, and I still consider it one of the most perfect movie experiences of my life. T2 arrived seven years later

Movie Review: The Babadook (2014)

The best movie monsters are oftentimes metaphors for real world issues, whether we’re talking about the zombies in George Romero’s films or that big green dude in Godzilla. This year, you can add Mister Babadook to that list, as well as any list that collects together the horror genre’s most memorable icons. Written and directed

Halloween Love’s 40th Anniversary Black Christmas Retrospective

It’s almost always impossible to pinpoint the horror movie that started any given sub-genre, though there are films within each that have more or less had that honor bestowed upon them. Though not the first of its kind, for example, The Blair Witch Project is nevertheless seen as the ‘first’ found footage movie, due mostly

Dino Fright: Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Jurassic World Trailer

When Jurassic Park was released in the summer of 1993 I was seventeen years old and going through what I like to call my “All movies SUCK” teenage phase. My youthful obsession with cinema had faded and even my love for horror had temporarily been put to one side as I embraced the role of
