Recently I had the pleasure to sit down with Josh Lami, Holiday Godfrey, Anthony Divers and Steve Wandling to discuss all things Friday the 13th. This was a really fun, in depth conversation where we talked about the best and worst films from the series, kills, the future of the franchise and more. Let us …
Midway Through Its First Season, The Passage Is Still Worth Watching
I was pleasantly surprised with the premiere of Fox's The Passage when it debuted in mid-January, but definitely planned on taking a wait-and-see approach to how the rest of the season would unfold. Now at the halfway point of the season, I can say that despite a few minor complaints, I still feel that horror/thriller …

Shudder Exclusives: A Tale of Revenge
In the 2018 Shudder film, Revenge, written and directed by, Coralie Fargeat, the audience is given a new spin on what might otherwise be a brutal and redundant storyline.

Velvet Buzzsaw Slashes & Satires the Art World, but Lacks in Scares
Art is objective. One man's trash is another man's treasure, but yet in a weird, meta way does the fact that I'm really finding it hard to big up Velvet Buzzsaw perhaps mean I'm just like any of the awful, pretentious characters in this film? Why didn't I like this film that I am seeing mostly …

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning
In my last article, I briefly glossed over the adoration I have for Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. It was an offering insufficient; this film's staggering complexity cannot be delineated by a mere blurb. It deserves more. A dedicated monument in Washington D.C.would do, but no one seems interested in helping me get …
