Friendship is a lot like falling in love. You meet someone. You find that you two have the same interests (“You like coffee? No way! Me too!”) and you hit it off from there, fancying yourselves as an inseparable duo. Like Batman and Robin. Two peas in a Batpod. What we seem to forget along the way is that friendship is based on give and take. You do something, and the other returns the sentiment.

Class Warfare in Bong Joon Ho's 'Snowpiercer' and 'Parasite'
“As in the beginning, I belong to the front, and you belong to the Tail…,” an authoritarian figure states as if reading from the Bible. “Know your place. Keep your place.” The passengers at the back of the train in Snowpiercer revolt against this notion, much like the lowly Kim family in Parasite. Both films literalize the eternal battle between rich vs. poor, haves vs. have-nots, and weaponize the hope that the powerless will rise up against the powerful.

MTV's Short-Lived 'Blair Witch Project'
How about some throwback fun? Let’s wind the clocks and cameras back to the turn of the century, to when MTV still played music videos—a time when The Real Worldand Road Rules reigned supreme. As a culture, we had survived the digital scare of “Y2K”, only to find ourselves wracked by a different kind of techno fear: the murky, pixelated horror of the video footage. This was the crux of MTV’s FEAR, one of their earliest and most successful reality shows that was terribly short-lived.
“I Like You”: The 10 Most Shocking Possessions In Horror
Is there anything scarier than losing personal autonomy to a feckless specter who’s hellbent on consuming your mortal soul? Well, in morbid anticipation of Talk to Me — the scariest movie of the year so far — we’re counting down 10 of the most shocking, grueling, and altogether terrifying possessions that the horror landscape has to offer.

Why Blerdcon Is The New Destination For Black Horror Fans
I attended my first Blerdcon this year, and it did not disappoint. I expected to have a good time alongside all the other Blerds (Black+Nerd = Blerd) while geeking out over some of my favorite media. However, I soon discovered that the Black horror community was at the con in full force this year. Even on the way to the opening events, which included an interview with Rachel True hosted by Xero Gravity, it was hard to ignore all the cosplayers dressed as some of our favorite scary movie baddies.
Working Girls: Gender Play as Survival in 'Crimes of Passion' [FINAL GIRL FASHION]
There’s nothing more seductive than feeling good in your own skin. That is, unless you get to step into someone else’s for a while. At the very least, that’s the main thesis of Ken Russell’s horny horror movie Crimes of Passion, a film that has a, well, firm grasp on exactly how transformative clothing, or a lack thereof, can have on one’s psyche. The lead of Crimes of Passion is a woman who goes by two names.
This Harrowing Netflix Documentary Will Leave You Speechless
When I first watched Tell Me Who I Am, all I could say was ‘wow’. For once, I was at a loss for words. This documentary serves as a brutal test of audience endurance. And it shook me to my core. The film deals with such heavy subject matter and finds those profiled in such an emotionally charged state that their pain becomes palpable. The events chronicled within present a lot of interesting points about the way children normalize their experiences, even when their experience is anything but normal.
Queer Horror Creatives in Florida and Elsewhere Need Help
My life is a horror movie. Just two years ago, my partner and I could grab coffee by the beach together. My hand might hold his. Our eyes might lock for longer than a passing moment. As the sun set and the tide ebbed back to the sea, we might not see anything else—nothing but the other person, the person we respectively loved, there in that moment as the sky turned peach and the breeze settled down.
The Gate is a Chilling Gateway to Kindertrauma
Simply put, The Gate is the ultimate gateway horror picture. This 1987 effort from Tibor Takács dares to place its juvenile protagonists in very real danger, something we rarely see in contemporary cinema. As such, the flick serves as an enticing and empowering viewing experience sure to delight youngsters in a safe but scary way. The Gate is absolutely an essential gateway horror experience.
‘Starry Eyes’: A Scathing and Disturbing Critique of Hollywood [Watch]
Welcome to The Overlooked Motel, a place where under-seen and unappreciated films are given their moment in the spotlight. I hope you enjoy your stay here and find the accommodations to be suitable. Now, please take a seat and make yourself comfortable, I have some misbehaving guests to ‘correct’. Watch the latest episode: Starry Eyes is one of my favorite horror films of the past ten years.
'The Woodmen': Feral Humans Run Rampant In New Found Footage Horror [Giallo Julian's Indie Spotlight]
The woods — they’re spooky, right? They can be, at least, with all the trees and poison berries and squirrels and… worst of all… the men. Woodmen, to be exact, which according to the internet are “people who frequent the woods.” Frequenting the woods? Away from such necessities as wi-fi and Beefy 5-Layer Burritos? These folks are practically inhuman, which—as we all know—makes them scary.
'Abruptio' Writer and Director Evan Marlowe Discusses His New Puppet Horror [Exclusive Interview]
After a number of years in development, the bizarre new puppet horror film Abruptio is now finally being screened at various prestigious film festivals. As you can see from the trailer and stills, Abruptio features life-sized puppets interacting with live-action environments, and the result is unusual, to say the least. Especially since no other film has used puppets in such a way.
'The Black Demon' Trailer: This Gigantic Shark Is Stalking Josh Lucas
|
Spring has sprung! As many flock to the beaches for Spring Break, all we can think about is aquatic horror. Big sharks, big crocs, you name it, if it swims and is ready to wreak havoc, we love it. That’s why we’re excited about director Adrian Grünberg’s new massive shark horror The Black Demon, which swims into theaters this April. Read the full synopsis: Josh Lucas (Yellowstone) stars in this edge-of-your-seat action thriller from the director of Rambo: Last Blood.

The #1 Thriller On Netflix Is Messing Up Viewers: "The twists and turns will GAG you"
The #2 film on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies Ii the U.S. today is an underrated gem from 2019. This thriller made an impression pre-pandemic and is now getting a second life on the planet’s most popular streamer. The film that has the internet talking today is I See You. In the movie, a policeman and his doctor wife have some marriage problems, and the son blames the mother. For his job, the policeman investigates a case of a missing boy. The possible kidnapping looks like some cases from a few years ago.
As Above, So Below is A Terrifying and Atmospheric Found Footage Masterpiece [The Overlook Motel]
Welcome to The Overlook Motel, a place where under-seen and unappreciated films are given their moment in the spotlight. I hope you enjoy your stay here and find the accommodations to be suitable. Now, please take a seat and make yourself comfortable, I have some misbehaving guests to ‘correct’. Watch the latest episode: Archeological horror is a subgenre I hold in high regard. But aside from a few standout efforts, there aren’t many films that fit that bill.
'The Mothman Prophecies' Is Cosmic, Cryptid Horror
Editorials November 22nd, 2022 | By Adrian Manuel When I checked out David Prior’s The Empty Man last Spring, it conjured a nightmarish mood board in my brain. A seedy urban legend not unlike The Ring, and a bleak cult fable akin to The Wicker Man and Hereditary. While all three serve up one hell of a box set, they were missing something cosmic in the mix. And that connective tissue may just come in the form The Mothman Prophecies, Mark Pellington’s 2002 horror film.
The Dual Haunted Houses in 'The Black Phone'
Scott Derrickson’s The Black Phone has no shortage of unsettling imagery. The Grabber (Ethan Hawke)’s mask and M.O. spark all kinds of “stranger danger” fears; dead kids pop up in well-timed jump scares, and a basement with stained walls implies all sorts of grotesque violence. Yet, the most terrifying scene in The Black Phone for me came early on when a man beats his child and doesn’t relent, even as the child pleads for her father to stop.
'After She Died' Trailer: Dead Moms Come Back To Life In New Australian Chiller
|
Mommy dearest. Australian horror is a special kind of twisted. Think Wolf Creek, Hounds of Love, and even The Babadook. Genre cinema from down under is relentless and just flat-out bleak. Now, VFX artist-turned-director Jack Dignan is throwing his hat into the ring with his film After She Died. Check out the full synopsis: Watch the trailer now: Liliana De La Rosa, Vanessa Madrid, Paul Tabot, and Adam Golledge star in the film. After She Died comes to VOD on September 30, 2022.

Director Andy Edwards Discusses New Horror Anthology 'Midnight Peepshow' [FrightFest 2022 Exclusive Interview]
The director discusses his segment in the new horror anthology. The new horror anthology film Midnight Peepshow had its world premiere at FrightFest this year, and we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview segment director Andy Edwards after the screening. Andy wrote and directed the segment known as ‘Fuck, Marry, Kill’, and you really cannot go wrong with a title like that.
'Nope' And Its The Subtle Parallels to the Mexican Revolution
Jordan Peele creates subtle nods to Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. Jordan Peele’s third feature Nope is about the spectacle of cinema through a genre-blend film of sci-fi, horror, and adventure. While Nope may seem the most straightforward entry compared to Get Out and Us, one thing is for certain; the complex thematic layers are in the details. Costume designer Alex Bovaird’s choices for Angel’s (Brandon Perea) wardrobe at first appear to be a stylistic choice.
'The Visitor from the Future' Is A Fun and Introspective Time-Traveling Adventure [FrightFest 2022 Review]
One of the funniest films to be screened at this year's FrightFest. Fans of the Back to the Future franchise will no doubt be entertained by The Visitor from the Future, a comedic time travel adventure from director François Descraques, which had its world premiere at FrightFest.
Ancient Order of the Droids and The Art of Making A Horror Movie Soundtrack [Giallo Julian's Indie Spotlight]
He's a special kind of composer. This past April Fool’s Day, director Adam Wingard gave us all a little treat — The Guest 2! Finally, the long-awaited sequel to his incredible 2014 action/horror flick starring Dan Stevens, is here for us to experience… Well, sort of. Wingard didn’t actually film it or anything. He just released the soundtrack to the proposed flick, allowing us to use our imagination to fill in the blanks. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Fall Horror: The 5 Best Movies for The Frightening Season
It's pumpkin spice season, baby. Halloween is special. The leaves and watercolor skies, the chill fall wind, and waning moons in amber woods. There are big sweaters, spices, pumpkin patches, mazes of corn, and, of course, scary movies. In fact, the season is best conceptualized by Ray Bradbury in Something Wicked This Way Comes. In his words: Still, painful as it is to say, Halloween is still more than a month out.
10 years ago, one macho blockbuster beat
The Fast & Furious franchise shifted gears in 2011, with the release of Fast Five. Assembling a mean, lean fighting crew of racers, robbers, and drifters for the tropical heist, this entry was a much-needed course corrector for a stalling franchise. With Fast Five, the franchise lay down the foundations for the lunacy of its series successors. After this moment, it seemed like no other franchise could match The Fast & The Furious’ signature brand of ridiculousness.
10 years ago, Jeremy Renner killed the best spy-thriller franchise of the century
Back in 2012, Jeremy Renner was best-known as that guy who kept popping up in things: the 28 Days Later sequel, back-to-back Oscar-nominated flicks The Hurt Locker and The Town, supporting roles in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and The Avengers. The Bourne Legacy was to be Renner’s star-making action-solo debut. It didn’t turn out that way. There’s a moment in The Bourne Legacy, the fourth film in the action franchise, when this sequel finally feels like Jeremy Renner’s movie.
The Scarlet Witch's Transformation from Final Girl to 'Carrie'
The Scarlet Witch is a horror villain. When Doctor Strange visits Wanda at her cherry blossom orchard of exile, he’s expecting an Avenger. In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, mysterious multiversal demons are on the hunt for America Chavez, a teenager with the power to travel between universes. Strange seeks the help of a powerful ally. What he finds instead is the film’s villain: the Scarlet Witch.
25 years ago, Nicolas Cage made the most bombastic crime thriller ever
As editor Glen Scantlebury and director Simon West were completing their edit on Con Air, the pair assumed they were just putting the finishing touches on Nicolas Cage’s latest bombastic blockbuster. But legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer quickly realized it was still missing an important element. “The original movie just ended on the Las Vegas strip,” Scantlebury tells Inverse.
40 years ago, the worst Rocky movie gave the franchise a second life
Rocky is the long-shot character drama that could. Rocky II is the rematch. But Rocky III is the franchise turning point. It’s also kind of terrible. Rocky III is best remembered as the one with Mr. T, the one with Hulk Hogan, or the one where Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed become bros on the beach. Take your pick. Released the same year as Rambo: First Blood, the two Sylvester Stallone vehicles start to bleed into each other. (Rocky IV takes on the Soviet Union.
20 years ago, 'Scorpion King' turned The Rock into a movie star — with the worst 'Mummy' movie ever
In the fiery climax of The Scorpion King, Mathayus has an epic staredown with his nemesis, Memnon. The fortress is ablaze. Memnon (Steven Brand) readies to defend his reputation as the greatest swordsman as Mathayus (Dwayne Johnson) yanks the arrow out of his back and cocks his great big bow in slow-motion. The score, composed of chants and guitars and blaring horns, swells to unsustainable levels of badassery.
Love 2.0 in ‘The Matrix Resurrections’
Advertisements It had to be at a coffee shop. A place where you don’t notice anyone, or you just might notice the one. The café grind is often routine, machine-like. People come in for their daily espresso, their pastries that won’t make it to the car, then they’re out the door. Stop and swipe. Grab and go. Man sees woman at the Simulatte. For him, it’s stop and stare. He sees her all the time. She has a husband, kids in tow. He’s long past his shelf-life.
When All Other Lights Go Out - The Comfort of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ (2001) 20 Years Later
I rewatch movies all the time. When given the choice between watching something new or revisiting an old favorite, I often retreat to the familiar. There’s comfort in that, like a pillow or blanket past its shelf life, but you hold onto it anyway. My go-to comfort movies are ‘80s & ‘90s Spielberg and anything starring Jackie Chan. In the midst of the pandemic though, there’s one movie I’ve been retreating to above all others— Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Sam Raimi's Wicked Horror Spin on 'Spider-Man 1 & 2'
Green Goblin and Doc Ock are straight up horror movie monsters. Spider-Man 2 (2004) Directed by Sam Raimi Shown: Alfred Molina (as Dr. Otto Octavius/”Doc Ock”) © Sony Pictures One thing you can count on with Sam Raimi: he’ll always bring the horror no matter the budget or the genre, and we’ll forever love him for that. He absolutely brought the horror in his spin on the Spider-Man franchise.
‘Halloween’ (2018) and The Shape of Trauma
Advertisements Laurie Strode was just placing a key under the mat of a home for sale. A favor to her realtor father. If anything, potential buyers could’ve crossed paths with Michael at the derelict Myer home, or another teenager on the way to school. It had to be Laurie. She exits the porch and goes about her routine like any other morning on any other Halloween. It’s the last we’ll see of that Laurie, innocent and precocious; buried in her books, singing in her lonesome, content.
BBC's 'Fleabag' and the Inescapable Awkward Family
When Fleabag is smoking and pressing up against the back alley of a restaurant— not to keep the place upright but to keep herself from crumbling, I almost wish I could break the fourth wall and join her for a drag. I'm not a smoker, but I have a family and I recognize that posture, that need to be alone. Because family – as joyous as reunions might be – has a habit of taking the piss out of you.
'Logan': The Anti-Marvel Movie
“There are no more guns in the valley,” Laura says in her eulogy. She and her band of mutants are no longer on the run, but their safety, much like their hopes of a future, come at a cost. The line is a reference to the 1953 Western Shane, a film that operates as key thematic influence in Logan; a film within a film. Logan itself is a film within a larger film universe (and an ever-expanding Marvel brand), which, like Logan’s overt film referencing, is all but impossible to ignore.
'Passengers' Review: A Doomed Voyage
For a film to operate in any genre is to operate within the many films of that genre, by extension and association. Sci-fi, in particular, readily calls to mind films both old and new (2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Blade Runner). Passengers is unmistakably sci-fi, therefore comparisons to these films are unavoidable. In fact, they are necessary as the genre continues to evolve and move forward.
'Children of Men' - The Perfect Political Allegory of the Moment
Films set in the future have a tendency to feel dated. After all, how can a movie accurately depict the future without sorely reflecting the era in which they were made? The most astonishing thing about Children of Men is how it hasn’t aged a day since its release in 2006. Considering today’s geopolitical climate of building walls, sealing borders, and banning refugees, perhaps the film is more relevant than ever.
