Welcome to The Overlooked Motel, a place where under-seen and unappreciated films get their moment in the spotlight. I hope you enjoy your stay here and find the accommodations to be suitable.

Last month, I had the pleasure to attend a film shoot for a local indie horror feature, smack dab in the middle of Central Texas, my neck of the woods. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on any set, let alone a horror one, so this was an opportunity I wouldn’t allow myself to pass

Time travel is all the rage these days. Maybe it’s because the present moment feels so… not great? Time travel is an angle, and today, it’s one of the key distinguishing elements that can successfully set a slasher movie apart. Not to go full Roger Ebert, but he was correct, broadly, when he noted a

Producer Mike Monello seemed very excited on his November, 11 post on social media. “25 years later, our little movie, ‘The Blair Witch Project,’ is FINALLY being released as we always intended.

The After Dark Horrorfest was a game-changer back when it premiered in 2006. Not only was this film festival devoted to the horror genre, it was accessible. Founder Courtney Solomon (An American Haunting) chose the best possible venue for this “ultimate celebration of horror”: the big screen. So from November 17 to 21, these hand-picked titles

This year alone, I was chilled to the bone by Nicholas Cage’s turn in Oz Perkins’ Longlegs, and Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen yielded some of the most frightening, indelible horror imagery I’ve seen in years. Exhuma was another sensational addition to the

Terrifier 3 is a stomach-churning, disgustingly brutal, Yule-Time gore fest! Fans are going to love it! Damien Leone’s Terrifier series is well known for its amazing low-budget special effects, its graphically brutal on-screen kills, and its memorable, maniacal killer, Art the Clown – played wonderfully by David Howard Thornton. The upside-down saw scene in part one, and the bedroom scene in

DOC OF CHUCKY – Still 3 Very few franchises maintain the same level of quality as Don Mancini’s Chucky Universe.

Coralie Fargeat’s body horror masterpiece The Substance is one of the best movies of the past several years. It is also, understandably, one of the most polarizing. Following the film’s premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, critics were divided on Fargeat’s very blunt (and very French) take on modern body horror ethos. Does The

Imagine that love at first sight was real, a disorder with such force that it could replay across multiple lifetimes.
