The 2019 Toronto True Crime Film Festival rolls out for it’s second year on June 14th-15th. This ever-evolving film fest had several stand out films last year, and this year appears to be no different. The true crime genre is a vast expanse ripe with stories almost too strange to

You don’t mingle within the horror community this long without running across a few Satanists. It’s a designation that is often misunderstood and shrouded in secrecy. The recent documentary HAIL SATAN? aims to dispel most of the myths and fallacies about them, while also shining a light on a misunderstood

It’s that magical time of year again, and no, I’m not talking about Christmas. Instead I’m referring to spring time in the Rockies. It’s time for sunshine, long hikes in the mountains, and a little “holiday” celebrated on April 20th. That’s right folks… 4/20! Being a Denver (where weed has

Admittedly, possession films aren’t really my thing. They tend to be VERY similar to one another and unless there’s something new to the story, you’re pretty much not going to top THE EXORCIST in my opinion. Personally, I’m more of a blood & gore connoisseur. Now that we’ve gotten that

On the flip side to the coin of making a diamond-in-the-rough film festival discovery (see our review for THE HEAD), there’s also the danger a finding a lump of coal. Such was the case with the “puppet-horror” head-scratcher POSSUM, playing as a part of the 9th annual Telluride Horror Show

The beauty of covering film festivals is the possibility of discovering something new. You just never know what treasures the programmers have discovered, and sometimes you just need to take the plunge on something unknown. This years Telluride Horror Show provided this writer with one such pleasure…namely a film called
