Christopher Landon’s latest horror-comedy Freaky is an utter delight. Starring Kathryn Newton, Uriah Shelton, Celeste O’Connor, Misha Osherovich, and the one and only Vince Vaughn, the film follows Kathryn Newton’s Millie who, after swapping bodies…

Night Of The Living Dead. Paranormal Activity. The Blair Witch Project. All micro-budget horror films that made an absolute fortune at the box office. Which, unfortunately, leads hundreds of people to think making a horror film…
