WIDOW’S BAY SERIES REVIEW Summertime is upon us and there are plenty of spots to consider for vacation.

Then you’re (not) looking for Widow’s Bay,  and […]

HUNGRY MOVIE REVIEW Don’t let the title fool you, Hungry has nothing to do with the classic board game, Hungry, Hungry Hippos. In fact, the film reminds us more than once that hippopotamuses are vegetarians so technically they aren’t even hungry, at least not for human flesh. They are, however, very territorial, even if that […]

NECROMANCER EP 142: PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES: BLOOD RED SKY Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are full of vampires?

LEVITICUS MOVIE REVIEW Horror is big in 2026 and I’m not just talking about having a visceral reaction to the current state of America.

THE BOROUGHS SERIES REVIEW Grandpa Simpson once wrote an angry letter that read “When I read your magazine, I don’t see one wrinkled face or a single toothless grin. For shame! To the sickos at Modern Bride magazine” and “Dear Mr. President there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am NOT a […]

NECROMANCER EP 140 – THEY WERE ROOMMATES: ALUCARDA (1977) The Necromancers head to their last stop in the sapphic cinematic universe (for now). This convent may look ordinary, the ladies only roommates, but Bret’s horror pick, Alucarda, proves the devil is in the details. Will Shira share Guillermo del Toro’s admiration for the 1977 cult […]

THRASH MOVIE REVIEW It’s been 4 decades since Jaws chomped beach goers to an iconic John Williams score.

EXIT 8 MOVIE REVIEW Imagine you’re coming out of the subway, going down those meticulously scrubbed (at least in Japan) white tile tunnels on your way to the surface. You’re looking at your phone and not really paying attention. Then, you notice no one else is around. One guy, seemingly oblivious to you, walks by […]

FORBIDDEN FRUITS MOVIE REVIEW The online discourse (in some disturbing corners) says you should pass on cinema made for and by women in the industry. That wouldn’t be very fetch of you, no cap. If you thought that was cringe, that’s because an adult wrote it after googling “Is Gen Z a thing, how does […]

THE SERPENT’S SKIN MOVIE REVIEW Since the dawn of time, snakes have been given a terrible rep. Sketchy marketing practice? Snake oil salesmen. Surprised by bad news? Snake in the grass! Really good at lying? Forked tongue, like a snake! Poor reptiles have suffered the slander for years but with that bad boy reputation also […]

HOKUM MOVIE REVIEW While Irish director Damian McCarthy is a big name in the serious horror fan community, especially after two fantastic films Caveat (2020) and Oddity (2024), his latest film Hokum that premiered at SXSW might just be the one to break him wide. Adam Scott plays Ohm, a successful author on a trip […]

THIS IS NOT A TEST MOVIE REVIEW Suburban living can be tough when your dad won’t get off your back about skipping class, and your Mom isn’t around to provide that parental balance, and your older sister bailed on the family.

SEND HELP MOVIE REVIEW Legendary director Sam Raimi isn’t the most prolific of filmmakers. His last film was Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022 and before that it was 2013’s Oz The Great and Powerful.
