Taking on a prequel to a beloved horror classic is a gutsy move – how do you keep it fresh when you’re telling part of a story that so many people already know? And how do you make it different enough that people don’t claim it’s a copy? While the basic story beats in APARTMENT
Yup … I decided to do it AGAIN. For 2024, I re-upped the challenge of watching a new-to-me horror movie every single day for 100 days, leading up October 31st! This list includes features AND shorts (because sometimes it’s impossible to make time for a 90+ minute movie in a day). Here are the first
Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody, LISA FRANKENSTEIN is a charming 80s-set rom-com with a bloodsoaked premise. Still recovering from the shock of seeing her mother murdered, outcast teen Lisa (Kathryn Newton) struggles to find her place at a new school and in her new family. Constantly at odds with her bitchy
I am on the verge of becoming OBSESSED with French filmmaker Bertrand Mandico. SHE IS CONANN is a fantastical re-imagining of Conan the Barbarian, time-jumping through the life of Conann, an elder who has lost all memory of who she was. Her longtime tormentor and frenemy, a dog-person named Rainer, takes her on a journey
Finally logging the second half of this year’s challenge of watching new-to-me horror every single day for 100 days, leading up October 31st!

I took a year off from this last year to do the standard “31 Days of Horror,” but I’m back again with a (let’s face it, kind of insane) challenge of watching a new-to-me horror movie every single day for 100 days, leading up October 31st! To allow myself some grace, I am including both
By focusing on Dracula’s long-suffering lapdog, RENFIELD puts an action-packed twist on the iconic bloodsucker’s story. For hundreds of years, Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) has attended to his master’s every need – bringing him victims, fighting vampire hunters with the aid of some magical bugs, and keeping his cape free of wrinkles. While attending an abuse
You know exactly what you’re getting into with COCAINE BEAR when the first notes of “Jane” by Jefferson Starship start pumping … leading into a scene with a coked-out drug trafficker (Matthew Rhys doing THE MOST) tossing duffel bags of drugs out of a plane, then accidentally killing himself by jumping too high and smashing
I wasn’t quite prepared for the layers upon layers upon layers of meaning in the darkly beautiful HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN, Directed by Michelle Garza Cervera. Valeria (Natalia Solián) and her husband Raúl (Alfonso Dosal) are incredibly excited when they find out she’s pregnant. However Val’s joy is short-lived, as she soon starts seeing strange
ATTACHMENT introduces us to Maja (Josephine Park), an actress who seems to only be able to book jobs based on a popular character she played many years ago in a holiday film. On her way to a library gig, she (literally) runs into visiting student Leah (Ellie Kendrick), and they form an instant bond with
