Visual media centered around apocalyptic zombie wastelands is a pretty tired genre to say the least, but somehow Zombieland: Double Tap is a refreshing, fun filled experience. Laugh out loud wise cracks, nail biting chase sequences and epic zombie kills are the name of the game for this surprisingly well executed sequel that nobody expected. …
Horror is a genre of filmmaking which is hard to rate. Unlike other genres, the acting in a horror film can be awful (most of the time, it is), but yet, if the director can set a tone and mood which carries throughout the film, we can usually look past the terrible acting…usually. On the…
If you’re a horror genre fan and you’re looking for a summer flick to keep you at the edge of your seat and provide cheap scares to make ya jump, then Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will fill the void you have been searching for all summer. Directed by André Øvredal and produced…
A waking nightmare cloaked in sunshine, flower crowns and psychedelics. Ari Aster’s sophomore follow up to his haunting breakout film Hereditary, is like the yang to its predecessor’s yin. Midsommar doesn’t rely on horror tropes to grip its viewers to the edge of their seats. It’s a slow burn kind of film that continually becomes…
Truth Or Dare: Imagine that you could take the concepts of Final Destination and It Follows, blend them together and then aim the end product at millennials. Make that film PG-13 and you basically get Truth or Dare. Truth or Dare is the latest film to come out of the Blumhouse production company, which is…
It’s no secret that 2017 was an outstanding year for horror and genre films, a year which culminated in Academy awards for genre films Get Out and The Shape of Water. A Quiet Place looks to keep that momentum going as it is the first truly great horror film of 2018. Packed with as much…
It Comes at Night – a vague and ominous title befitting a movie that itself is vague and ominous. The title is great, if only it fit this movie, it would be even better. Set in a world reeling from a deadly pandemic, this movie’s danger isn’t the exclusive domain of the dark, so the…
The past couple of years have seen a revival of the horror genre. Since 2013 we have seen outstanding films that includes (among others) The Conjuring, The Babadook, It Follows, Lights Out, Don’t Breathe, and most recently, Get Out. For us horror fans, the last 4 years have been a blessing and we have been…
I love horror movies, though I can’t help feeling like they chose me. Growing up named Jason, I never went too long without being asked something stupid about a hockey mask. Still, the feeble and frequent jokes piqued my curiosity. I saw good and bad slasher flicks younger than I probably should have (thanks, HBO)….
Lights Out… Based on a short film, this version doesn’t disappoint. Who isn’t scared of the dark, walking into stuff and or the unknown, wondering if that silhouette is shaped like something lurking there or if your mind is playing tricks on you. Well Lights Out leaves you with nothing but the want to have lights…
