Film Review: Livescreamers
LIVESCREAMERS is a haunted house thriller like you’ve never seen before. Showing that virtual reality hauntings are just as deadly as the house down the lane. A new mode of filmmaking to refresh the ‘Found Footage’ genre. It is more apt to say the film is ‘created’ by Michelle Iannantuono

Dark Nights Film Fest: Bloodsucker
DARK NIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL presents the international premiere of the vampire spiral into destruction that is Bloodsucker (Blodsuger). The film is the latest from Kaspur Juhl, known for staring straight into the face of human brutality. It’s bold of the director to tackle such a well-known, perhaps overused type of

DARK NIGHTS FILM FEST: THE DEAD THING [USA]
HAUNTED HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMAN? The first-ever DARK NIGHTS FILM FEST (Sydney Australia) is lucky to be screening Elric Kane’s THE DEAD THING, this Saturday, October 12 at 7pm EST. The film is a great fit for the festival’s wide spectrum of genre presentations, this one in particular, employing some

Film Review: BOOGER
An intoxicating fur ball of Body Horror and Hipster sensibilities, Booger is certainly one of the most original takes on the psychological thriller. And who doesn’t love cats? Lots of people don’t, and I don’t like those people. Let’s give it up for masterful debut films, especially when helmed by

Hunting For The Hag (Unnamed Footage Festival)
From director Paul A. Brooks, co-written with producer Sierra Renfro, comes HUNTING FOR THE HAG, a hybrid-footage road trip of cryptid hunting and home invasion. While leaving me with mixed feelings, it will always come to mind when I hear the phrase ‘Found Footage horror movie.’ So it is no

Visitors- Complete Edition (FANTASPOA 2024)
Evil Dead by way of Animal Crossing! My first month at FF, and I’ve already had the pleasure of engaging with two international festivals. This time, it’s Brazil’s FANTASPOA (now in its 20th year)—the largest genre film festival in Latin America. 2024 has a huge program under its belt, with

Review: DO NOT WATCH (Unnamed Footage Festival)
UNNAMED FOOTAGE FESTIVAL is officially underway in San Francisco. It is an entire film festival dedicated to screening Found Footage horror (and adjacent) films until the 31st of March. You love some, you hate some, but at the end of the day, Found Footage, whether it be faux documentaries or

Film Review: Lovely, Dark, And Deep
If I were asked to define the ‘fear of getting lost’, I would only need to point towards supernatural backwoods horror LOVELY, DARK, AND DEEP. Written and Directed by Teresa Sutherland (writer of 2018 festival favourite THE WIND), the film captures you and whispers in your ear: “Where will you

Film Review: Fck’n Nuts
I won’t forget the value of short-form horror cinema any time soon thanks to Sam Fox‘s bizzaro land horror-comedy, FCK’N NUTS. Some horror shorts aim to show us how terrifying they would be as feature films; others leave you with an ambiguous ending that makes your imagination go to dark

Film Review: Destroy All Neighbours
SHUDDER kicks off 2024 with comedy-horror DESTROY ALL NEIGHBOURS: one man’s blood splattered and viscera filled journey to realising he’s been kind of an asshole lately. This Shudder Original, directed by Josh Forbes, is goofy, but at times it’s kind of genius. It premieres on January 12. William Brown (Jonah
