Tomorrow is the first day of fall and you know what that means: HORROR MOVIES! (And probably some other stuff, too, like pumpkin beer, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cakes and OH MY GOD, I’M A PUMPKIN ADDICT WHO NEEDS HELP.) But what I’m really getting at here is that Halloween is only a little over a…
Turbo Kid, a Canadian action-horror film directed by François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, is a pastiche of many different genres and themes all sewn together like a quilt. Not only is it a mash-up of action, horror, comedy and adorkability, but the movie also contains post-apocalyptic motifs and plenty of homages to Mad…
In last year’s perplexing and at times unsettling Welcome to Me, written by Eliot Laurence and directed by Shira Piven, Kristen Wiig plays Alice Klieg, a recent lottery-winning millionaire with borderline personality disorder who uses her newfound wealth to buy her way into her own autobiographical talk show. And it’s just as strange as it…
Today, horror fans everywhere have a heavy heart. Wes Craven, horror maestro famed for creating Freddy Krueger, one of the most iconic horror characters in the history of film, died yesterday at the age of 76 after a battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his producer wife, Iya Labunka. Craven claimed to have…
There is a new Quentin Tarantino movie coming out this year. I love being able to say that. And the best part about a year with a new QT movie coming out? Well…it’s the movie. OK…but the second best thing? Tarantino’s press junket. The man is not one to bullshit, to say the least. Sure,…
The first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film, The Hateful Eight, is finally here! OH, WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY! You probably heard about Hateful Eight when QT threatened to shelf it after some bozo leaked the script somehow. But seeing as this trailer looks all Reservoir Dogs meets Django Unchained, we should be thanking The…
Horror fans: If you haven’t seen last year’s Starry Eyes, you are sorely missing out. Skip class, call out sick, or procrastinate any/all responsibilities you may have – just get on Netflix and watch it already! The movie’s about a young woman named Sarah (portrayed by the very talented Alex Essoe) who’s hoping to live…
In the last couple years, the big screen has seen some pretty great films. Oscar flair like Whiplash, Boyhood and Birdman were on fleek critically, while blockbusters like Jurassic World and Mad Max: Fury Road proved that they’ll forever dominate the summertime box office. But what about the highly criticized horror genre? What about the horror flicks that are…
Do you have the Starz network? You probably don’t have the slightest clue. And why would you, seeing as Party Down was cancelled? But it’s about time again to figure out what damn channel it is because ASH VS. EVIL DEAD is coming soon! It seems like a reboot of The Evil Dead has…
In 1997, actor and comedian Chris Farley died of a drug overdose at the young age of 33. I was in 7th grade at the time. Now, I’m 31 and I still watch his movies on the regular. Although his name is now forever added to the list of talent that’s been taken from…
