Michael and Danny Philippou follow up their wildly successful horror film Talk to Me with a terrifying story centered on grief and loss. What were your thoughts on Bring Her Back?

The newest installment in the Final Destination Franchise certainly surprises, but just how good was it? RIP Tony Todd, a true legend of horror.

Frendo is on the loose in this modern day slasher directed by Eli Craig, based on the 2020 novel from Adam Cesare. Does Clown in a Cornfield bring anything new to the table or is it just a standard late night horror flick?

Met with criticism leading up to its release, "Until Dawn" had a lot to live up to. Did it meet expectations, or was this another failed video game adaptation?

With Sinners , director Ryan Coogler gives us a horror story steeped in African American culture, and set during the Jim Crow Era.

Rule of thumb when writing a script: don't toy with your audience. Apparently, writer Sam Stefanak did not get this memo, and the result was dissatisfied viewers. Film is subjective though, and you can still find some good in the bad. Sometimes a closer look is warranted. The Woman in the Yard follows Ramona and her two children, Taylor and Annie, as they encounter a mysterious figure cloaked in black on their family farm.

Writer/director Oz Perkins is on a roll with his second horror film in two years. Last year we got Longlegs, and this year we got The Monkey. There's been some divisiveness surrounding The Monkey since its release and I can understand why. Was this supposed to be an adventure comedy, a coming-of-age movie, a possessed doll film, or even a slapstick comedy? Perkins himself probably doesn't even know. But I digress...
