“Don’t worry, grandma, it’s fun to be dead!” Calling this film Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was a smart move on the part of James Wan, Jason Blum, and Kevin Keville, who produced the film, because this ain’t no mummy I’ve ever heard of before! Written and directed by Cronin, the film is a reimagining ofContinue reading “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026)”

Obsession (2025)
“You wished for this.” Written and directed by Curry Barker, 2025’s Obsession was a darling of the Toronto International Film Festival and the indie film circuit prior to its big-time release by Focus Features and Blumhouse, which led to the film becoming a massive hit at the box office and an instant classic for GenContinue reading “Obsession (2025)”
The Devil’s Mouth (2026)
“I’m not afraid of the water, just what might be in it.” Kathryn Newton has been on a role in recent years. With starring roles in successful films like Lisa Frankenstein (2024), Abigail (2024), Freaky (2020), and Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (2026), and supporting roles in hits like Ant-Man And The Wasp:Continue reading “The Devil’s Mouth (2026)”
Imaginary (2024)
“Never ever.” 2024’s Imaginary, directed by Jeff Wadlow (who also co-wrote the film with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland), could have been a much better film, it just wore out its welcome. The movie stars DeWanda Wise as Jessica, a young stepmother who is trying to connect with her new stepdaughters, and reconnect with herContinue reading “Imaginary (2024)”
Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)
“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.” With a perfect blend of horror, humor, and science fiction, Night Of The Comet (1984) is easily one of the best end-of-the-world films from the 1980s. Writer/Director Thom Eberhardt dumps the audience directly into the film from the the very beginning and allows the viewer to ride along withContinue reading “Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)”
Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)
“Why can’t they leave me alone?” Despite financial issues that went back nearly a decade and the occasional natural disaster, Return To Sleepaway Camp managed to be released direct to video in 2008. The film is a direct sequel to the cult classic Sleepaway Camp (1983). The film features the return of the original film’sContinue reading “Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)”
Shiver Me Timbers (2025)
“Chainsaws are for children.” The final Popeye-inspired horror film in 2025 was Shiver Me Timbers. It’s also the best or worst of the trio depending on who you ask. While I don’t consider it the best, I don’t believe that it is necessarily the worst. The plot is ridiculous. The acting is sketchy at best.Continue reading “Shiver Me Timbers (2025)”
Popeye The Slayer Man (2025)
“I am what I am.” The second Popeye-themed film of 2025, released in March of that year about five weeks after Popeye’s Revenge, Popeye The Slayer Man does what its predecessor and successor fail to do: place Popeye in a believable scenario where he actually fits into the story. In this horror version of theContinue reading “Popeye The Slayer Man (2025)”
Popeye’s Revenge (2025)
“Well blow me down!” A trio of Popeye-based horror films were released in 2025 after the strong-armed sailor entered the public domain. Popeye’s Revenge was the first of these films, released in February of that year. Although it isn’t a part of the Twisted Childhood Universe, it is produced by ITN Studios, who produced allContinue reading “Popeye’s Revenge (2025)”
Throwback Thursday: Ticks (1993)
“I’m infested!!!!!!” Loaded with successful actors in various stages of their careers, 1993’s Ticks is a lot better than it should be considering the fact that it was a direct-to-home video release. The movie tells us the story of a group of teens facing various personal demons who go out for a little natural therapyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Ticks (1993)”
