Double, double toil and trouble, my little witches and warlocks, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my hellish attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden ...
Why hello there, rosebuds, and welcome back to The 300, a magnificent feature on my attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the w...
The second annual Brooklyn Horror Film Festival ended last night. I wasn't able to check out nearly as many films as I'd hoped to. For instance, I unfortunately missed the opening night film, Housewife by director Can Evrenol. By all accoun...
The second annual Brooklyn Horror Film Festival gets underway tonight at the Brooklyn Alamo Drafthouse. The opening night film is Can Evernol's Housewife, which looks like Clive Barker by way of Dario Argento. More than 45 feature films and...
While I had some issues with Can Evernol's Baskin, I was still impressed by its style and its gruesome, unrelenting horror. It reminded me of an Italian horror movie by way of Clive Barker. Evernol's latest film, Housewife, looks like it bu...

Creating a new face of horror is difficult. For every Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers, there are countless forgettable imitators. These lower-tier boogeymen may look good, and their mythology may have promise, but they never haunt the imag...
Feeling frustrated by a movie isn't unusual. The best/worst kind of frustration is when the hints of a better film are evident. It's like eating a meal and knowing just from flavor or texture what's missing--not enough salt, undercooked, sh...
While the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival gets underway next week, there's a launch event at Catland Books on Saturday, October 8th starting at 6:00pm. The event is free to the public, and there will be free drinks. Art, free alcohol, and occ...
