The Banana Splits Adventure Hour was a short-lived children's television show from the late-60's, as best I can tell. I'd never seen or heard of the show or its band of happy-go-lucky animatronic characters until now--now that it's a horro...
I don't need the shine to see one unhappy fan for the upcoming Doctor Sleep film, at least from this trailer, and that will likely be Mr. Stephen King. The author even as recently as 2014 railed on how much he hated Kubrick's adaptation of...
A Quiet Place is a super great movie that deserved all the praise and success it received last year. We even gave it our coveted Golden Cage for best horror movie! But such success always comes with a sinister caveat--sequels. It's been kno...
Will there very be an end to the Conjuring cinematic universe? Who knows? They keep pumping them out and people keep showing up to them. Plus, they're made for so little that it's nearly impossible for them to flop. Plus, plus, they're most...
I don't know how many people there are like me in the world (that I haven't tracked down and murdered by now), but if you happen to be anything like me then sometimes you sit down and think, "Man, I've watched too many good movies, lately....
A giant bloody eyeball darting around, embedded behind someone's intestines is the sort of image that always gets the attention of a critic with as refined a palate as my own. If you see the above trailer and find it to be too needlessly b...
Coming to the upcoming Cinepocalypse Film Festival, we have the first trailer for Deadcon, a chiller about YouTube influencers who stay in a haunted hotel suite. Between this, the upcoming The 16th Episode, and some others it seems YouTube...
Blumhouse and Mattel Films have teamed up to make an official movie based off the toy company's Magic 8-Ball property. Now, I know your biggest worry would be that the production company would have gone ahead and done some dumb off-brand My...
Sometimes I don't understand myself. I know it's common to hate on Rob Zombie's films, but I feel like I should love them. He makes aggressively trashy horror movies. I love aggressively trashy horror movies, and yet there's something abou...
Stephen Spielberg, a man who thinks that just because a film can be streamed to a TV means it's a made-for-TV movie, is officially becoming one of the kids! His baseball cap is on backward, and he's sitting the wrong way on a chair, ready t...
Lord of the Flies, a literary classic about the horrible things that happen when you leave adolescent boys to form their own society, has been the fodder for film adaptations and interpretations since at least 1963, but this trailer for La...
If there's one fear constantly preying on my mind, one inescapable dread that keeps me up at night, it's this: Between the release of the Child's Play remake and The Boy 2, there's just over a full month's gap in which no movies about kill...
In what looks like it's going to be a thrilling and wild sequel to 2011's grimy shocker The Woman, we have our first trailer for Pollyanna McIntosh's Darlin'. Written and directed by the star of the original film, this one follows The Woma...
If ever there were a name to get modern fans of the macabre and monstrous jonesin' for more, it would be Guillermo del Toro. Serving as producer and co-writer, André Øvredal's feature length adaptation of Alvin Schwartz'...
Carpenter Brut, a horror synthwave musician who just brings the entire house down, doing the score for some trippy sci-fi epic is one of the coolest prospects I could imagine. This teaser for Shudder's Blood Machines only offers the slimme...
Every great horror story has a moral. Whether it's a simple theme like "don't go in the woods," or a slasher-style message of "don't have unprotected sex in the back of your dad's Buick," there's always some point to a scary story. Naturall...
It's kinda surreal to think that Jaws at one time held the title for scariest thing in America. That shark was so effective at freaking people out the actual shark population declined by a whole lot as a result. In the movies they qui...
Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival just announced its first wave of programming for 2019, and it looks like ya'll Canucks are going to be in for a good time. Leading the pack is the world premier of Killerman starring Liam Hems...
Sometimes I see a trailer for a movie, and it makes me wonder why other movies even bother to exist. This is definitely one such trailer. I'd never heard of Tammy and the T-Rex, a 90's (if you somehow couldn't tell from the trailer) horror...
Appearing to be one part Suspiria (new and old!) and one part Stephen King, In Fabric is the latest mysterious thriller from Peter Strickland, who's given us the great Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke of Burgundy over recent y...
Rondo is a weird blend of half-intentional and half-probably-not-intentional weirdness, humor, and spectacle. Sometimes actors forget to act and just say their lines. Sometimes they gleefully nosh the scenery like it's made of cotton candy....
Charlotte (Allison Williams), is a once cello prodigy who had to leave the possibility of fame and fortune behind when her mother fell ill, and she now returns to the school a decade later and meets a new prodigy, Lizzie (Logan Browning) wh...
There's an interesting concept behind Brightburn. We take the Superman myth and instead of him being instilled with good morals by two wonderful Kansans he turns out evil instead. There's so much to unpack in that concept. Debates about nat...
Get ready for a bloody tournament of vehicular slaughter to reach a TV screen near you as Sony's newly formed Playstation Productions plans to bring their Twisted Metal franchise to life as a series. I hope they let David Jaffe executive pr...
I'm very excited for Alexandre Aja's Crawl. It's been a while since we had an alligator horror movie to be excited about, and Aja's The Hills Have Eyes reboot is one of the very best remakes ever committed to film. The only question that re...
Coming off of a hot horror film (or anything so overtly genre, really) can be an incredibly interesting time for a filmmaker. Do they continue to solidify their understanding of a genre's mechanics, maybe the way Jordan Peele jumped f...
When I covered Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn back in March, I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed afterwards. The movie itself is still pretty good, but I remembered the series being so much better than what Journey's Da...
With a May 24 release looming (or rather, "this Thursday" for all you night-before folks) Sony Pictures Entertainment have released one last glimpse at the James Gunn-produced sci-fi horror.
Fred Durst, 90's music icon for songs we all regret having liked, is also a film director. He's been working on a film about his own experiences being stalked by a crazed fan for a bit now, and that movie was finally about to screen for buy...
One of my favorite things about trailer and box quotes for movies is seeing their sources. Sometimes, like on the cover of The Room, the quote will be attributed to no one and nowhere. Other times, you'll get the usual quotes from reviewer...
I don't know if you've heard of this little movie called The Shining made by some nerd named Stanley Kubrick. In it Jack Nicholson goes stir crazy and kills a door with an axe, and it's also about the genocide of Native Americans. It may ve...
I'm not really sure how to tackle this it's so out of left field, but the Saw franchise is about to get a spin-off/relaunch film developed by Chris Rock. Yea, that Chris Rock. Evidently, the actor came to Lionsgate with an idea for the...
Perfect lets you know what you're in for from its opening shot: A pulsing abstract image with a heavy seizure warning shifts in shape and gains clarity and texture as a ponderous voice recites Bachelor's Degree philosophy about life and lov...
You got to kill the head in the latest trailer for Jim Jarmusch's insanely star-studded zombie comedy The Dead Don't Die. This might be the quaintest little walking dead flick ever made with its stumbling, bumbling deputies all just salt o...
Following a bombshell of a poster, we now have our closest look at Ari Aster's upcoming Midsommar with its latest trailer. This gives us a peak at the relationship drama that builds up to a hellish festival in scenic Sweden. Honestly, I ha...
Saint Bernard is dreamlike moreso than most movies that attempt this distinction. Its journey of a music conductor into the mouth of madness works in symbol and metaphor with gleeful breaks in logic. Moments and places only mesh in that our...
The Purge has been a strange franchise as it just keeps on trucking, and yet I don't know anyone who's all that into it. The political-themed horror series landed its fourth entry last year with a prequel and even debuted a TV series. It's ...
This may come as a surprise, but if there's one thing I'm a fan of it's ridiculousness and absurdity. You know what's very ridiculous, incredibly absurd? A tornado full of clowns. Perhaps you would argue that's trying too hard, that's too ...
Gravitas Ventures has nabbed the North American rights to a fun-looking little bloodbath called The 16th Episode, which follows three YouTubers with plummeting viewership who get invited to a satanic ritual and--surprise!--things don't go ...
The first official trailer for It: Chapter Two is up, and it's looking really good. We open with Jessica Chastain as grown-up Beverly visiting her childhood home, and if I were in charge I would have let the trailer begin and end here. It'...
