Superman (2025)

“You have a dog???” Despite resistance from a healthy heaping of naysayers and supposed Snyderverse supporters, James Gunn’s vision of Superman took flight on July 11, 2025. I managed to watch it today, July 13th, and have to admit, it’s a great film. It’s hilarious at times, full of action and witty dialogue, and takesContinue reading “Superman (2025)”

The Comic Shop (2025)

“It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” While cruising around on Amazon Prime last night, I found a nice little gem entitled The Comic Shop. I was completely unaware of this film, but considering how much I enjoy reading comic books and hanging out at my local comic shop, I decidedContinue reading “The Comic Shop (2025)”

Heart Eyes (2025)

“We’re not even a couple!” While St. Valentine’s Day is no stranger to the horror genre, with films like Valentine (2001) and both of the My Bloody Valentine films (1981, 2009) being some of the more popular movies in this vein, 2025’s Heart Eyes takes the beloved holiday into a humorous but very enjoyable direction.Continue reading “Heart Eyes (2025)”

Nosferatu (2024)

“You are my affliction.” I was a bit conflicted as to how I should approach 2024’s Nosferatu. The film, directed by Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Northman), is a remake of F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, which was a ripoff of the original Dracula story by Bram Stoker. I really enjoyed Murnau’sContinue reading “Nosferatu (2024)”

Houston Horror Film Fest 2024

Houston Marriott Westchase, August 10th This was my third year attending the Houston Horror Film Fest. Work prevented me from attending all three days, but I made the most of my Saturday at the event. There were tons of excellent independent horror films to view, a great selection of vendors, and a celebrity list thatContinue reading “Houston Horror Film Fest 2024”

The Craft: Legacy (2020)

“You girls have been playing with fire….” Director Zoe Lister-Jones guides a whole new group of weirdos in 2020’s sequel/soft reboot of the classic 1996 flick The Craft with The Craft: Legacy. The film’s surprisingly strong cast gives the old college try, but they can’t lift this film above its weak plot. Despite the thinContinue reading “The Craft: Legacy (2020)”

The Crucifixion (2017)

Be Careful What You Pray For…. Something that I’ve picked up on about the twin brothers of terror, Chad and Carey W. Hayes, is that their horror writing almost always falls into one of two categories: 1) dull but watchable and 2) downright chilling. The duo penned the remake of House Of Wax (2005), TheContinue reading “The Crucifixion (2017)”
