What a long strange trip it’s been…and I’m not talking about The Grateful Dead. I’m talking about the year 2020, or the year Covid-19 brought the entire planet to a screeching halt, or the great global dumpster fire…whichever you prefer. 2020 was in and of itself a horror movie in

2021 is here! We’ve still got a long way to go, but hopefully some semblance of normalcy is in sight. I’m hopeful, at the very least, that we’re going to start to see some of 2020’s delayed feature films see the light of day. One of the films I was

Whoever said horror films can’t be smart, obviously hasn’t seen Brandon Cronenbergs’ latest film POSSESSOR UNCUT. I was lucky enough to catch this artistic bloodfest as a part of Telluride Horror Show’s closing night. Telluride always brings the heat on the final day of the fest, and the 2020 Shelter-In-Place

The 11th annual Telluride Horror Show kicks off this weekend (October 15th-18th), and like so many other fests this year, THS has taken itself online for the first ever Shelter-In-Place edition. Good to know the folks over there have a sense of humor about it. Honestly, nothing is more depressing

As most of the world grinds to a halt, The Fantasia Film Festival pushes forward. Like so many other fests this year, Fantasia has taken itself online in order to keep its fans drenched in genre cinema, while also keeping them safe from a global pandemic. Many of the films

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Although nothing is normal in the age of Covid-19, at least one thing is persevering…The 2020 Fantasia International Film Festival is still taking place from August 20th through September 2nd. Like nearly every other North American film festival, Fantasia will

Sometimes a horror film is well…more than just a horror film. That’s sort of the beauty of the genre. It can be a mindless slaughter-fest, or it can be a cerebral challenge that forces us to deal with our fears from a safe distance. It can be confrontational, it can

The staff of FEAR FOREVER LOVE horror movies…like…LOVE horror movies. That being said, we always welcome exceptional films that fall just outside of our umbrella. It’s a good reminder that sometimes an effective thriller can provide you with the same unnerving energy as their spookier horror counterparts. This was the
