Ginny’s life is perfect, but as the audience slowly learns over the course of Happy Birthday to Me, that was not always the case.

We live in a world where all sorts of things can play some form of the eternally badass FPS grandaddy known as Doom. Photocopiers, pregnancy tests, fridges, and balls of yarn have managed to run id Software’s classic shooter over the years (though I may have made one of those up), but what about the

It’s easy to forget just how revolutionary MTV was back when it first went on the air, with the channel quickly becoming a staple of youth culture during the 80s and 90s.

Tobe Hooper is my favorite director. Not just my favorite Master of Horror, not just my favorite director in the horror genre, my favorite director period. That makes ranking his filmography an almost impossible task, because even those titles that rank lower on the list are still movies I love – or, at the very

Spanish writer/director Carlota Pereda adapts her 2018 short to expand on the complex effects of bullying against a backdrop of horror.

Australian-Macedonian writer/director Goran Stolevski weaves a complex emotional tapestry of humanity in his period folk tale that wields horror as a vehicle. You Won’t Be Alone reframes life and its stages through the lens of a witch, creating a sensory experience that’s artful, languid meditation with a helping of blood and entrails.

Christian Tafdrup’s bleak Speak No Evil will undoubtedly draw some comparisons to nihilistic horror satires like Michael Haneke’s Funny Games. Both seek to make the viewer deeply uncomfortable while sending a caustic message.

Sometimes it may go over our heads how important music is to a film. Take the legendary 1978 Halloween for example – a film originally noted by a producer to not be that scary until said producer viewed the film with its now-iconic score.

The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer.
