WOLFMAN (2025) is a body horror meditation on grief and longing in this new Blumhouse world of gods and monsters
Director Leigh Whannell’s follow-up to 2020’s The Invisible Man continues his exploration of the human condition behind the veneer of losing it in this adaptation of the classic Universal Monster tale. Over the past several years, Leigh Whannell has been crafting a cinematic universe of post modern horror under the umbrella of Blumhouse and Universal.…

MOVIE REVIEW: STREET TRASH (2024) is a gooey reimagining of a cult classic that improves on the original
We love 80’s horror here at Cult Classics. From Return of the Living Dead to They Live and The Thing, the 1980’s are rich in material to mine for genre nostalgia and material to reimagine. But while some films from that decade have been both reimagined and pseudo-sequelized like The Thing was in 2011, the…

Movie Review – HERETIC is one of the Best Genre Films of 2024 with Strong Character Work
Beck and Woods’ exploration of religious belief and control owes more than a little to their past work, but strong performances from Sophie Thatcher and Hugh Grant makes this release from A24 a must-see. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ work as genre filmmakers. The duo were…

Movie Review: VENOM: THE LAST DANCE (2024) Leaves You Wanting More.
Tom Hardy’s supposed final outing as the classic Todd McFarlane anti-hero promises a a climactic final battle between the symbiote and their creator and leaves you with a meandering buddy comedy. — It’s been a yin/yang of a year for fans of the comic book superhero genre.

FILM REVIEW: Problemista (2024) is a stylish and surreal view at navigating the pitfalls of immigrant life in America
Julio Torres’ feature film debut is a wonderfully surreal and affecting comedy about navigating towards your authentic self as a working immigrant. One of the shining lights for this writer during the pandemic was the discovery of the sitcom “Los Espookys” on HBO Max. It was a surreal story of a group of amateur haunters…

FILM REVIEW: Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE PART TWO is a feast for the senses.
Director Denis Villeneuve’s conclusion to his Dune saga is a provocative meditation on the fall of a corrupt feudal system turned totalitarian and the rise of a radicalized fundamentalist fascist regime. When one thinks of Frank Herbert’s Dune, a book many either read in college or high school, you tend to think of it as…

MOVIE REVIEW: TERRIFIER 2 is a bloated treat for lovers of gore-soaked low-budget slasher fare
Damien Leone’s follow-up to the 2016 cult favorite is an overlong feature that stretches out its run time a bit too far with its simplistic story. The best horror films have solid stakes that get you to cheer for the film’s hero or final girl against the impossible odds that the film’s big bad place…
