I did not come to this new interpretation of Mike Mignola’s essential character from the perspective of the previous filmic version. Guillermo Del Toro’s flawed original and excellent sequel are their own thing and I decided to respect that. I was able to almost completely forget about that duo thanks to my history with the … More Fresh Cuts: Hellboy (2019) (USA/UK/Bulgaria/Canada)
At the time of this writing, kids are back in school, the oppressive summer heat has backed off, and the pools have closed. fall has unofficially begun. What does that mean besides Mountain Dew releasing a spooky new flavor? It means Halloween-set movies are in season. We can have our pumpkin spiced everything, and haters … More Fresh Cuts: Candy Corn (2019)
I’d like to share a different sort of review today. It’s no secret that I am an avid AGFA supporter. AGFA’s upcoming release of THE FILMS OF SARAH JACOBSON may be their best release yet. While not horror or “genre”, I don’t remember the last time I spent time with a release that felt this … More Buy it or Die: The Films of Sarah Jacobson
Sometimes “little” films can really hit the spot. No frills, just a neat idea anchored by a capable cast and a talented creator. The Witch in the Window never feels extravagant and it’s better off for it. Simon has just grabbed up his son from the over protective (kinda) arms of his ex-wife. Not illegally … More Fresh Cuts: The Witch in the Window (2018) (USA)

When some neighbors move into the only other house around for miles, things begin to unravel for the couple. And what lurks … More Fresh Cuts: The Wind (2018)
A familiar plot is refreshingly enhanced by a great cast and cool monster. It’s like slipping into a comfy speedo made of nightmares. After losing his son to some kind of invisible threat, Dr. Andre Mason, a neuroscientist, attempts discovering the key to breaking through the veil and confronting what lies just outside of our … More Fresh Cuts: Discarnate aka Shapeshifter (2018) (USA)
A small group of “youngsters” are filming an extremely low budget (one handheld camera, beer and friends as actors) horror flick in the woods. As they make their swamp monster creature feature, a group of furries are having a little get together in the very same stretch of forest. All would have probably been fine … More Fresh Cuts: Furry Nights (2016) (USA)
Spoilers will be coming fast and strong, so if you want to go in as blindly as I did just stop reading and see the damn the movie. If you’re a fan of found footage (I am) I will assure you that this flick kicks major ass and is one of the best found footage … More Fresh Cuts: Cold Ground (2017) (France)
