    ‘The Outwaters’ Is a Horrific Descent Into Hell

    by Spencer Henderson February 17, 2023
    by Spencer Henderson February 17, 2023

    ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’: A Slasher With Brains About the Dangers of Modern Communication

    by Spencer Henderson August 7, 2022
    by Spencer Henderson August 7, 2022

    It seems that a fair portion of Film Twitter has turned on A24. I make this observation because I pretty consistently see people mocking it as a brand, or more specifically, the specific type of fan associated…

    If you were to ask me for a list of the most exciting directors working today, Jordan Peele would be very high on my list, if not at the very top. In 2017, Peele burst…

    by James Y. Lee June 15, 2022
    by James Y. Lee June 15, 2022

    Hot off the heels of winning the SXSW Audience Award with his charming, witty, and near-universally loved directorial debut, Saint Frances, writer-director Alex Thompson’s return to the silver screen appears to be a complete tonal shift,…

    Tribeca Film Festival 2022 Review: ‘Family Dinner’

    by James Y. Lee June 14, 2022
    by James Y. Lee June 14, 2022

    A devious recipe of psychological manipulation, profoundly unsettling family dynamics, and grisly horror that never quite feels like it coalesces into a full meal, Peter Hengl’s Family Dinner is certainly one of the more interesting horror…

    Kids, eh? Buncha weirdos the lot of ’em. Not yours obviously, they’re lovely. No offense meant. But they can be confusing little blighters at times, something horror movies have used since at least 1960 with…

    by Jack Edgar September 12, 2021
    by Jack Edgar September 12, 2021

    1992’s Candyman is considered a classic of the slasher genre — mythologically inventive, steeped in relevant racial themes, and far more ambitious than contemporary slasher films; which at the time were so verging on self-parody…

    by Bethany Lola August 25, 2021

    Agnes slides neatly into the subgenre of ‘nun horror’ with the likes of, you guessed it, The Nun. However, Agnes prides itself on building tension rather than being full of jump scares. When you’re placed…
