Scream’s finale begins exactly as it should in light of the recent tragic death of a legendary master of horror. A photo of a smiling Wes Craven fills the screen with the words “In Memory Of Wes Craven. 1939-2015. Thanks for the screams.” Classy. Major spoilers below! … Read More
We open on the Lakewood County Municipal Records building after night has fallen, one year before the start of the modern-day murders surrounding Emma Duvall. While a security guard is engrossed in a porno mag, a black clad intruder slips in and swiftly enters the Evidence Room. Inside, they … Read More
V/H/S Viral (2014) is a found footage anthology that isn’t at all related in terms of tone or style to the first two V/H/S movies. Overall, it is an incoherent mess, with only one segment worth watching. Seriously. It’s a waste of time. Watch it when it’s on cable … Read More

This installment has the best opening scene since the pilot. We pick up in the afterglow of Emma and Kieran’s woodland lovemaking. Emma asks Kieran to take her to the old Brandon James house at night so she can face her fears. The pair break into the decaying abode and … Read More
A couple of weeks ago, Monster Mania Con was held in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. It is just a stone’s throw away from me. The reason for going to the show was to really get our Sheldon/Leonard on. I should point out that there are three of us in my … Read More
This is a guest post by Horror Fighter. As a director, Adam Wingard and his collaborations with writer Simon Barrett have grown on me. I hated “A Horrible Way to Die.” (Don’t get me wrong; I loved the plot and the cast, I just despised every shot in the film.) However, … Read More
