Historically, horror movies get a bad rap. Granted, some deserve it. (Just like any other substellar movie.)

And just as often, the storyline isn’t the only thingContinue Reading
Is A24 on a mission to supply 2024 with some of its best thriller movies? If Civil War, MaXXXine, and Heretic are any indications, the answer is yes. When it hit theaters in April, Civil War both terrified and beguiled audiences and critics alike. (Probably because nearly everyone agreed thatContinue Reading
The Beast Within trailer has generated many comments, including my favorite from @TheAutumnWind_RN4L: “That’s all I wanted him to say in season 8 of GOT.” They were referring to a line near the 1:52 mark where Kit Harington roars, “Kneel before your king!” So many people (myself included) would’ve loved toContinue Reading
“Kevin Bacon is even in it?” I thought when I watched the official trailer for MaXXXine, which dropped last week. Well, actually, my first thought was, “It’s finally coming out? Jeez.

“That’s a movie I’d see in theaters,” I thought when the trailer for Abigail dropped at the beginning of this year. It looked fun and maybe like the ballet/vampire horror movie mashup we didn’t know we needed. I made a mental note to try to snag free passes if thereContinue Reading

They’re redoing the classic (and terrifying!) thriller starring Robert Mitchum. (“They” being Scott Derrickson, who’s working on a script withContinue Reading
You could easily be forgiven if you didn’t think a THEM season 2 was happening either. I know I didn’t, and I was pretty bummed about it. Not that season 1 left off on a major cliffhanger or anything. Or, at least, not from what I remember. (That was threeContinue Reading

An exact release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the first one, The Strangers: Chapter 1, is set to hit theaters in 2024. But it’s never to early toContinue Reading
Move over, Jigsaw. Soul Mates is introducing a new diabolical, twisted villain: the Matchmaker. “Sign up for Soul Mates before the walls of loneliness close in on you,” he says in the movie’s trailer. And he’s not kidding. It’s not long before the walls literally start closing in on theContinue Reading
