6 Must-See Short Films In Horror
—
Everyone likes to watch a good horror movie every once in a while. Short horror films are no exception! In fact, the shorter films tend to creep out more audiences within a short span of time, with some going as far as freaking out the least-brave movie-goer more than a full-length horror flick. So, are…

Indie Movie Review – My Summer As A Goth
Teenager – check, female – check, goth – check. So that’s three for three against me being in the right demographic for My Summer As A Goth! But then, when has that ever mattered? If it did, Disney wouldn’t make money until seven year olds got credit cards. My Summer As A Goth is a coming…

—
So here we are, back in a land down under, where women glow and men plunder… It’s another Ozploitation film. I’ll admit that I’ve had No Such Thing As Monsters available for a few weeks, but have kept putting it off mainly due to the last Australian horror/thriller film I saw: The Faceless Man which was, quite…

Current & Upcoming Blumhouse Horror Releases
Blumhouse is a company known for producing popular, low-budget horror films (Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Happy Death Day, Get Out, and most recently The Invisible Man). So whenever they come out with a new title, it’s worth taking note. While Blumhouse certainly produces things other than horror flicks (Whiplash, BlacKKKlansman, and The Normal Heart —…
