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…
Following the critical and box office success of Wonder Woman, it is easy to say that audiences have a renewed interest in Justice League. The team up film starring Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman,) Ben Affleck (Batman,) Jason Momoa (Aquaman,) Ezra Miller (The Flash,) Henry Cavill (Superman) and Ray Fisher (Cyborg.) This is a continuation of…
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…

So this thankfully completes the overarching storyline of the entire Alien franchise, I do not include the Alien vs Predator films because those are spinoffs. I went into this film feeling optimistic and looking…
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…
The Conjuring 2 Movie Review: From the first time I heard about a sequel for The Conjuring, I was as excited as a little boy; but also terrified… What if the sequel is not up to par with the original? The Conjuring has given me hope for the Horror genre, since it has been one, if…
