    Last Straw Review

    We have all had those days when we are on our way to work and our car breaks down. We either have to run or bike to work and arrive sweaty from rushing to get there on time. We get in trouble with the owner because we are the manager of the place and have…

    Longlegs Review

    In the early 2000s, movie studios started using Alternate Reality Games to promote their upcoming movies. I was lucky to participate in a few of these games for The Dark Knight, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Tron Legacy. Each game consisted of a series of clues found online or at certain real-world locations. As the clues…

    MaXXXine Review

    Back in 2022 Ti West gave us X, which was a movie about an adult film crew filming in an old farm. One incident led to another and X was a horror movie that we did not know we needed at that time. The film was suspenseful, gory and introduced us to the character of…

    Late Night with the Devil Review

    I was something of a night owl growing up. I would stay up late and watch Johnny Carson, David Letterman and Tom Synder. Nowadays, I watch the current crop of late night shows but there was something about those early shows that felt more genuine. Enter Jack Delroy, played brilliantly by David Dastmalchian, as the…

  • Brightwood Review

    Brightwood Review

    This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, movies like Brightwood would not exist. There are a few movies that have ruined the forest for me. Movies like the original Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, and The Blair Witch Project have…

    Talk to Me Review

    This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike movies like Talk to Me wouldn’t exist. In the horror movie genre, we have seen movies dealing with possession. While there are many movies about demonic possession, there have been few that show…

    Skinamarink Review

    In Paranormal Activity 3, there is a scene where the father attaches a video camera to an oscillating fan. As the view moves from left to right the anticipation builds as we go from one side of the room to the other. We do not know what we are going to see when the view…
