If you took The Exorcist and surgically removed every hint of personality, you would wind up with a movie very similar to Along Came the Devil. It’s not hard to understand why so many filmmakers try to do their own take on The Exorcist. It’s a great film with an easy to copy premise: a […]

Despite the Scream Factory collector’s edition Blu-ray for Body Bags, it’s still easily one of the most overlooked titles John Carpenter has directed. It’s far from the classic status of Halloween or The Thing, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t warrant discussion. In many ways, Body Bags is as much as the director has ever strayed […]

A true final girl hits a series of notes within the composition of a horror film. She typically begins as an unlikely hero and, ultimately, emerges as a warrior ready for battle. The focus of most horror franchises is an iconic villain. The main plot will zero in on a series of incidental characters and one […]

Dark Crimes is loosely based on the crimes of author and convicted murderer Krystian Bala. The film really only employs the core idea of an author utilizing the details of a real life murder, to which he is privy, to fill the pages of a book that is believed to be a work of fiction. Screenwriter Jeremy Brock had a […]

Sub-genres are great for categorizing. In general, that’s the only real purpose that genre serves: putting films in a certain place so that they’re easier to find when you’re looking for them.
