Greetings, readers! Today, I’m here to tell you a little bit about Chilean writer/director Patricio Valladares’s Embryo, a sci-fi/horror anthology about aliens that like to get their freak on with unsuspecting human hosts.

I’ve been riveted by enough movies about scumbags and assholes that you would think I might enjoy Happy Times.

Horror is a mayhem-fueled world of slashers, zombies, ghosts, aliens, psychos and monsters. Films in the genre often provide diversionary relief from the just-as-stressful realities of pandemics, insurrections, racism, culture wars, polarizing politics and, well, monsters. (Here’s looking at you, Trump.) Oops. Guess I just played my part in polarization. As the Reese’s Peanut Butter […]

A creepy, demon-summoning book lurks in the basement of a house that just happens to have new tenants. That’s like a horror nerd’s blankie, right there…warm and cozy! […]
Call me crazy, but when I saw a trailer for a film that seemed to be about the origin of a new urban legend and a creepy clown, I got excited. Sure, the idea is one that has been done to death, but I’m always hopeful that a new take on it will rise from […]
On February 9, Gravitas Ventures and Kamikaze Dogfight will deliver Necropath, a new horror film by Joshua Reale that, according to its press materials, will also deliver us a new horror icon. We won’t go that far–yet–but the trailer looks promising. Necropath is a grimy, grindy-looking nightmare that depicts what happens when a deranged butcher […]
