FILM REVIEW: OUIJA SHARK
I had the exquisite pleasure of attending (prior to the COVID-19 pandemic) the world premiere of OUIJA SHARK at Toronto’s oldest and most run down theatre, The Grand Gerrard. I had no prior information about this film other than it’s title and poster but that was more than enough to

FILM REVIEW: HEAT (HITTE), SXSW
When South By South West was cancelled due to the current pandemic, there was collective heartbreak felt by many. But there is some good news for film fans: SXSW in collaboration with Mailchimp and Oscilloscope Laboratories has generously made their short film library available to the public! So there is
FILM REVIEW: WHY DON’T YOU JUST DIE!
When it comes to International horror, admittedly Russia isn’t the first country that comes to mind. Sure there are a handful I can think of, but Russia isn’t even in my top ten when it comes to foreign horror. Anyone that knows me, knows that I actually prefer films from
FILM REVIEW: BUTT BOY
What’s in a name? That’s the first thing I asked myself when I received my screener copy for Epic Pictures BUTT BOY. An unusual name indeed. What would follow would be an even more unusual experience making an effort to live up to that name. In the spirit of full
FILM REVIEW: VIVARIUM
The whole world is living in an indefinite quarantine, locked down in their homes. Collectively, we are all wondering, “when can we go back to a normal life?”. What a felicitous time to watch a film about a couple trapped in a tranquil yet horrific suburbia setting. VIVARIUM is a

FILM REVIEW: WEREWOLF (WILKOLAK)
When you think of the word “werewolf” your mind surely goes to images of human transformation and monsters that howl at the full moon. But Adrian Panek’s WEREWOLF (WILKOLAK) features a far more terrifying monster…. You guessed it; it’s people. Set at the end of World War 2, WEREWOLF knows there can never
FILM REVIEW: CREPITUS
Every now and then you hear something about a promising horror film, and then it seems to take an eternity for that film to see the light of day. CREPITUS is one of those films. I remember hearing some rumblings on the internet way back in 2017, and then I
