The Saddest Movies of All Time
I’m sure there are many people that avoid sad movies the same way they avoid horror movies; they don’t want to cry or be scared. In its face, that seems reasonable, but is probably not healthy to hide from uncomfortable things completely. Whether it’s being scared or crying uncontrollably, as many of the following movies …
We Bury the Dead is an Excellent Movie that was Betrayed by its Trailer
I’ve never seen a movie so completely and totally fucked by its trailer. It’s rare these days that movie trailers don’t spoil important plot points, if not give away the entire movie. An even worse sin is to spin a movie to appear as something it’s not. Before we go any further, watch the trailer: …
The Truth About Physical Media: The End of an Era
As the internet does so well, it’s full of black and white hot-takes and very little nuance and context. It’s odd that people are shocked by PlayStation’s announcement that they’re ending physical media, cause I was already late to the game on discussing my opinion about this back in 2024! I’m by no means Nostradamus …
I Finally Watched Obsession and I Think I Know Why it Went Viral
In a word, Obsession is universal, but for studios thinking they can capture and repackage that formula, that’s not enough on its own. Cliché and unoriginal are often considered harsh criticisms, but that’s only when done poorly. Clichés are great in storytelling, when done well. Wish Wishing someone loved you is about as universal as …
Latex, Blood, and Brotherhood: The Complete History of KNB EFX Group
I was eight years old the first time Evil Dead II broke my brain. I shouldn’t have been watching it. I was, and it was fine, and it made me who I am. The deadite transformations, the possessed hand, Ash running from his own severed limb while it made rude gestures at him, all of …
Ed Wood 2: Could it Work?
Tim Burton’s classic 1994 biopic Ed Wood, about the wonderfully weird and inept Edward D. Wood Jr. (played to perfection by Johnny Depp in a very charismatic performance), is a love letter to probably the most infamous 1950s B-movie director of all time, and one of my all-time favorites. Despite the movie being incredibly sanitized, …
Great Horror Moments in Non-Horror Movies
Sometimes a movie reaches into your chest when you least expect it. Horror films earn their scares with your consent. You bought the ticket, you knew what you were walking into. But every now and then a comedy, a kids’ movie, or an action film drops something genuinely horrifying into the middle of your afternoon …
Pinhead Was Never a Villain
I have spent an embarrassing amount of my life defending Hellraiser to people who only know the later sequels, and honestly, I get it. If your first encounter with the “Hell Priest” was him murdering a nightclub full of people while making puns, or getting crammed into some unrelated straight-to-video thriller because a studio needed …
School’s in Session: 5 Horror Films to Watch This September
There are two types of people when back-to-school season hits: the ones who view it as a fresh start and the ones who view it as the beginning of the end. This list of back-to-school horror is for the latter. The only proper way to celebrate this time of year is to revisit some of …
