IN VITRO is a sci-fi thriller centered on a couple's unraveling relationship while conducting a questionable scientific experiment on a remote farm. The husband's secretive project raises ethical questions and threatens their family. The film's tension, strong performances, and atmospheric setting create a chilling narrative, though it occasionally stretches credibility.

Movie Review – SOMNIUM
SOMNIUM tells the story of Gemma, a young woman pursuing acting in Los Angeles while working at a mysterious sleep facility that promises to help clients achieve their dreams. The film blends science fiction and horror, featuring strong performances, particularly from Choe Levine. Though intriguing, its conclusion feels overly neat, leaving some unanswered questions.
Movie Review – BORDERLINE
One of the things that many of us miss when we think about how great it must be to be famous is the reality that there are prices to pay for being so public. The term “being under the microscope” is used, but that seems to dismiss the fact that it’s not a singular person… Continue reading Movie Review – BORDERLINE
Found Footage Review – THE GHOST IN THE DARKNESS
If there is one pet peeve I have over all others in found footage movies it's when they suddenly switch narrative techniques. The movie will begin as found footage and then reach a point where it's suddenly a traditionally shot film. It drives me CRAZY! Now, you can make a movie in whatever style you… Continue reading Found Footage Review – THE GHOST IN THE DARKNESS
Time Travel is Dangerous – movie review
There is something about British humor that hits differently. British humor, while it can be just as juvenile as American humor, doesn’t feel the need to explain or dumb itself down. A joke may not land, but that’s fine because there’s another one. American comedies often overexplain things and feel like they are holding your… Continue reading Time Travel is Dangerous – movie review
THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review
Religious horror is having a moment. It’s interesting because horror is cyclical. We’ve seen religious horror—ala possession films, films about demons, and movies about the devil—come and go. Each decade has its spate of them, and we are definitely in the middle of ours. It makes sense in that the fear that an outside intelligence,… Continue reading THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review
STREET TRASH (2024) – movie review
Let’s cut to the chase, first. This is a sequel-ish film that references an aspect of the original 1980s grind-gore classic STREET TRASH. Fans of the original are going to want to know one thing - is it as gross as the original? Oh, brother, is it. If you are looking for a weird, gross,… Continue reading STREET TRASH (2024) – movie review
SAINT NICK OF BETHLEHEM – review
Holiday movies come in three varieties: the sentimental, the preachy, and the counter-programming. The sentimental films are not just pulling at the heartstrings; they are kicking at them. The preaching ones want to ensure you know the reason for the season at any cost. The counter-programming films want to turn things on their head and… Continue reading SAINT NICK OF BETHLEHEM – review
BEYOND THE NORTH WOODS – found footage review
As I have mentioned before, it's interesting to note the trends in found footage. To see what gets popular because it reflects where the culture is at that moment. At this moment influencers and digital content producers are the catch of the day. It makes sense because they are, well, influencing the culture and how… Continue reading BEYOND THE NORTH WOODS – found footage review
BLOOD STAR – movie review
The “law gone bad” subgenre is not a new one. I’d wager it’s tied to the distrust we have of authority figures and abuse of power. Any time we are put at the mercy of someone with power and a weapon it tends to make us a bit jumpy. In recent years the authority, specifically… Continue reading BLOOD STAR – movie review
CHILDREN OF THE PINES – movie review
One of the most powerful things about horror movies is their ability to examine heavy topics in a way that distracts you from the topic. It isn’t that they don’t want you to know what they are saying but that the filmmakers are wise enough to know that the best way to examine something, something… Continue reading CHILDREN OF THE PINES – movie review
‘SALEM’S LOT (2024)
As a fan of Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot has always been one of my two favorite books of his, along with The Shining. I love most of his books that I have read but those two always felt like two of the very scariest. As such, I am a fan of the films made of… Continue reading ‘SALEM’S LOT (2024)
Broken Bird – movie review
The term elevated horror is the sort of silliness that only comes from embarrassed actors, directors, and production companies that don’t want their hands dirtied by a genre like horror. They love making their money from the fans but don’t want to admit to having made a dirty horror film. There have always been horror… Continue reading Broken Bird – movie review
