Before I say anything else, I urge you to go watch Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave. It’s streaming free on Netflix, and without any embellishment, is one of the century’s finest murder mystery thrillers. It’s so much more than that, but the less I say, the better. We can talk about Park Chan-wook’s bonafide debut

If you live in the Kansas City area or are planning to do a tour of America’s haunts this year you may want to check out one created by Darren Lynn Bousman who directed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. He also directed the 2022 Spiral which takes place in the Saw universe.  Bousman

I watched Strange Darling and have decided it is my new personality. Sure, I could toss on my pink wig and get back on the dating apps, but that would be too easy. Plus, it’s not as much fun as celebrating all of the hookups gone wrong in my favorite genre. Horror is the place

Five years ago, the co-op board game Horrified set you up against Universal Monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Invisible Man. It mixed clever co-op mechanics reminiscent of classic games like Pandemic with an iconic property to great results. Since then, they released Horrified: American Monsters and Horrified: Greek Monsters, standalone sequels to the

Image of ‘Alien 3’ via 20th Century Studios Alien or Aliens? That age-old debate. While subsequent entries in the extended Alien franchise are commonly reassessed and evaluated (including, recently from me, Scott’s last voyage into space with Covenant), no one can earnestly argue that anything the franchise has done since can match the remarkable one-two

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. Now, please take a seat and make yourself comfortable. I have some misbehaving guests to ‘correct.’   Watch the latest episode: There are few things

Can you believe it’s been 21 years since Freddy threw down with Jason? The jury is still out on who won. This was the last film in which Robert Englund appeared in makeup as Freddy. It’s unclear when or if Freddy will return to a mainstream film, as there is some debate in the surviving

In the wake of their epic JAWS playset release, LEGO has announced this morning that Henry Selick’s iconic classic The Nightmare Before Christmas is getting its own LEGO set. Releasing this coming Halloween season, it’s another LEGO Ideas product, meaning the set originally began as a fan-made concept that other fans voted into becoming an

I love a good action flick. I really dig B-movie icon Cynthia Rothrock. And I have a major soft spot for the made-for-TV movies of years past. On that basis, I have nothing but love for Kevin Hooks’ Irresistible Force. This 1993 actioner doesn’t get everything right. But considering the budgetary and creative constraints imposed

Japanese director Koji Shiraishi is a master of bizarre and off-kilter tone. Whether his found footage classic Noroi: The Curse, Sadako Vs. Kayako, or the Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi films, Shiraishi has demonstrated not only a mastery of horror, but a mastery of comedy meant to destabilize and confuse the viewer. His latest film House
