Ti West’s latest foray into the world of horror leaves us with The Sacrament, a heavy hitting shocker that takes its sweet time building skin-crawling tension as a world of pure terror slowly unfolds. West isn’t afraid to push the envelope with his wide-eyed thriller as he weaves a slow-burning tale that will truly leave you speechless by the time the credits roll. The film follows two journalists as they set out to document their friend’s journey to find his missing sister. Their journey leads them to Eden Parish, a self-sustained utopia with a mysterious leader known only as Father at the center of it all. Continue Reading…

The third film in the popular V/H/S franchise has just been announced as the third installment will be titled V/H/S Viral and will focus on fame-obsessed teens who unwittingly become stars of the next internet sensation. It’s going to be interesting to see how each of the directors take that set-up and turn it into something horrific. Kids do a lot of stupid shit so the possibilities are endless with this one—should be a lot of fun! Continue Reading…

Blue Ruin - 2

Jeremy Saulnier makes his long awaited return to the director’s chair with his thriller Blue Ruin, a straightforward classic tale of a revenge that takes a simple concept and turns it into pulse-pounding suspense. Sometimes keeping a story simple can go a very long way, and Saulnier’s thriller does just that. The film follows a homeless man whose quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance, leading to a brutal battle to protect his estranged family. Continue Reading…

Zack Parker ventures into the world of psychological horror with Proxy, an often times brutal indie film that highlights just how crazy a mother can be. The narrative that Parker lays out has enough twists and turns to keep you engaged by revealing one plot shake-up after another, however, it all gets hindered by its unbelievable characters and unconvincing execution. Proxy follows a very pregnant Esther Woodhouse who is brutally attacked and disfigured by a hooded assailant. The attack leads her to a support group where her life of sadness and solitude is opened up to friendship, understanding, and even acceptance. However, her new found friendship and understanding are not what they seem. Continue Reading…

wolfcop2

The official trailer for WolfCop is exactly what you’re thinking it is—ridiculous and awesome in all the right ways. The ’80s had Teen Wolf, today we get the drunken, ass-kicking WolfCop that sheds his skin and goes after the bad guys. It looks like a stupid good time and exactly what B-movies are all about. I don’t have much more to say about this one, folks, so I’ll just let the trailer speak for itself! Continue Reading…

We’ve got more found-footage headed our way (surprise!) in the form of a pretty wicked looking thriller from the filmmakers behind Quarantine and Devil. The Dowdle Brothers’ latest foray into the genre sees two archaeologists in search of a lost treasure in the catacombs below Paris. I really dig the approach they took the story of this one—what could have easily been just another creature flick where some kids get trapped underground has instead been turned into something entirely different. Have these archaeologists found hell on earth? Continue Reading…

Borgmanstill34

I knew going into Alex van Warmerdam’s Borgman was going to be a strange experience, but I wasn’t expecting it to be a trippy fairytale-like nightmare that was tightly wrapped up in a bizarre story. It’s a very special kind of film that lays on a pitch black atmosphere that never lets you get comfortable, not even for a second. Last year we had Ben Weatley’s A Field in England to turn our brain matter into mush, this year we’ve got a wonderfully weird Borgman. It centers on a man on the run who stumbles into the lives of an arrogant upper-class family, turning their lives into a psychological nightmare. Continue Reading…

SINSTER

While original Sinister director Scott Derrickson and his co-writer C. Robert Cargill have been hard at work on a script for a sequel to the massively successful 2012 film, it was unsure as to whether or not Derrickson himself would take ahold of the directing duties. That all changed today, however, as Blumhouse took to twitter to announced that Citadel director Ciaran Foy will be the man behind the sequel. While I’m sure that many fans were hoping to see Derrickson back behind the camera for Sinister 2, take solace in knowing that he still very much has a heavy hand in the sequel with writing duties.

5-the-green-inferno

The Green Inferno marks the long awaited return of director Eli Roth who hasn’t stepped behind the camera of a feature film since 2007′s Hostel: Part II, and today a teaser trailer has finally dropped for the cannibalistic tale and it’s absolutely haunting. In it we’re teased with a few close-up shots of a terrified girl tied down by a native tribe who only have one thing on the menu—man-sushi. The teaser captures the very gruesome nature of Roth’s latest foray into the genre without actually spilling any of the red stuff. It plays on the fears of our imagination because we all know what road this is heading down, the teaser just provides the direction. Continue Reading…
