MA is an Unfortunate Exercise in Mediocrity [Blu-ray Review]
I went into MA wanting to like it. In spite of lukewarm reviews, I was hoping it would be something special. It features a talented cast of characters and comes from a director with an impre...
IT Chapter Two is a Frightening, Funny, and Surprisingly Moving Return to Derry [Review]
Back in 2017, IT shocked horror audiences by being, well, pretty bloody great. The kids were cute rather than annoying, Bill Skarsgård put a terrifying new spin on a character already made ...

Horror has long been obsessed with Grand Guignol, but the fascination with the infamous French theatrical experience has yet to be the setting for a straight genre movie. Step up, The Most Assassinate...
