George A. Romero got a raw deal. Unquestionably one of the towering giants of the big-name horror directors, George A. Romero’s death in 2017 was met with well-deserved tributes and insightful appreciations of his decades-spanning work from fans, industry professionals, and entertainment critics alike.  It was also long overdue.  When he was alive, much like

This doesn’t seem timely, right? Not at all, right? While we wait for Train to Busan: Peninsula, another South Korean zombie film is on the way courtesy of director Cho Il-hyung. It’s titled #Alive, releasing in South Korea next month. In the film, “A city is infected by a mysterious virus, which causes the city

For the last few years, the most sought after superhero movie has been one that technically didn’t exist: Zack Snyder’s Justice League. During the post-production on DC’s answer to The Avengers, Snyder stepped down from directorial duties due to a personal tragedy, and Joss Whedon took over to complete the film. Ever since the film’s

In the wake of the movies directed by Niels Arden Oplev, David Fincher and Fede Alvarez, Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander is now headed to the small screen, Variety reports tonight.

Frictional Games are still releasing clues via Twitter for their upcoming Amnesia: Rebirth. But even then, we still don’t know much about the game, or just what kind of horror experience will be in store for players.

Once upon a time, folklore and fairy tales were cautionary tales of violence, bloodshed, and horror. They were graphic stories of cannibalism, murder, and dismemberment nestled in fantastical settings full of witches, fairies, goblins, mermaids, and beyond. Its escapism meets grim morality. Family-friendly brands like Disney may have sanitized fairy tales for kid-appropriate consumption. But

Thanks to a pandemic that’s ground the world to a halt, most film festivals have been postponed or canceled. The Chattanooga Film Festival found a clever workaround through its virtual edition, bringing the film festival experience straight to the comfort of your home. Of their feature film lineup, The Pandemic Anthology most reflects the current social setting.

While the idea of Survival Horror has largely been from a close third or first-person view, Mandragora’s upcoming SKYHILL: Black Mist aims to do it a little differently when it launches for Steam on May 28. While taking on an isometric view from above might not be as tension-filled if the camera were up close

Italian horror auteur Lucio Fulci is one of the most prominent voices to shape horror, both in his native country and on an international scale. Known as the Italian godfather of gore thanks to memorably gruesome titles The House by the Cemetery, Zombi 2, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and The New York Ripper, Fulci drew the ire

It Came From the ‘80s is a series that pays homage to the monstrous, deadly, and often slimy creatures that made the ‘80s such a fantastic decade in horror. Getting a movie made is no small feat, but sometimes, in cases where every obstacle that can pop up does, it can be akin to performing

Touted as the “this year’s most insane midnighter” by Chattanooga Film Festival for their virtual edition, you only have to look to the trailer Skull: The Mask to see it more than earns that distinction. An insanely gory, ambitious effort hailing from Brazil, Skull sets a bloodthirsty supernatural killer loose in São Paulo. That would be enough to

The second season of FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows” has arguably been even better than the first, expanding upon the world in hilarious and wonderfully absurd ways, and we’re excited to report tonight that the vampire mockumentary series – which is of course a spinoff of the same-titled movie – has been renewed

In horror, the higher the body count, the better. We cheer at particularly gruesome and creative demises of characters in genre movies, and it can go a long way toward our enjoyment of a film. Because most characters often tend to exist solely as prey, their grisly ends upstage whatever paper-thin characterization exists, if at

You may remember indie dev Artur Łączkowski and his story-driven horror game Death of Rose. The game was originally scheduled to arrive back in February, but Łączkowski pulled the plug, stating that he couldn’t “fully express and present” the game’s potential with its current state. However, it hasn’t stayed dead for long, as Łączkowski has

In an age where Googling the term “body cam” yields endless news articles of police body camera footage revealing excessive violence, it’s not surprising that the volatile subject matter is being addressed and explored through film.
