And so begins the countdown once more…
The Gate
Monday November 1, 1926 My dearest Anna, …I’m so delighted we can connect each evening with these electric dispatches. Your photo of our sweet baby Margaret was kindling for my hearth this morning. Today I have heartening news and another spark for that intense conflagration inside me—we finally broke through into the Hadal Zone this …
A Cold Breeze in the Dark Wood: Three Folk Horror Flicks for Autumn
Once the air starts to chill and the leaves change color, there’s only one sub-genre of scary movies on my mind: folk horror. Few film genres are more autumnal than those dedicated to the natural world’s dark side, full of woods with supernatural secrets and nearby towns trying to hide them. While the genre became …
Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities Review
“Open your mind to fear,” states the tagline for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

This new collection of frightful tales shows a great deal of respect for the …

The Quarry Review
If you played Until Dawn and enjoyed it, it’s a no-brainer that you’ve gotta play The Quarry too. Described as a “spiritual successor” to Until Dawn, it’s pretty much all there. Made by the same developer (Supermassive Games) and written and directed by the same guy (Will Byles). All the same kinds of twists and …

The Tragedy of Westworld
I was a fan of Westworld years before it was ever even conceived as a TV show, that’s because, and some of you may not know this, it was first a movie (released in 1973). The movie itself was well-made, but the concept was what made it special. It’s such a fun concept, the kind …
