Sorry its late!
A joyful song, a missing girl, and a village that never stops smiling—until the flames rise. We head to Summerisle for a spirited, scene-by-scene dive into The Wicker Man, exploring how folk ritual, music, and community turn a simple investigation into a study of belief and power. We talk first impressions, why the soundtrack feels playful instead of ominous, and how that choice keeps the horror...

Start with a bottle on a bridge, end with a symbol carved into fate. We took The Empty Man for what it is—a detective story that slowly dissolves into cosmic horror—and followed it down every corridor of cult logic, black posters, and whispered rules. From the Bhutan prologue’s bone-fingered relic to a Missouri that feels half-remembered, we map how urban legend ritual becomes a thought virus and how a doomsda...
This week's bonus episode we are covering Joe Swanberg's segment in V/H/S. More bad boys.
A mother who builds perfect little worlds. A family that can’t speak plainly without tearing open wounds. A coven that’s been patient for decades. Hereditary still gnaws at us because it splices private pain with public ritual—and then shows how both feed on silence. We unpack why the movie’s most terrifying sequences aren’t the skittering on the walls but the moments at the table, in the car, and in the bedro...

Ti West's "The House of the Devil" isn't just a horror film—it's a time machine. This meticulously crafted throwback to 1980s horror transports viewers to an era when satanic panic gripped America and VHS rentals determined weekend plans. Shot on authentic 16mm film with vintage zoom techniques rather than modern dollies, every frame radiates nostalgic dread.

In 1987, director Sam Raimi took his low-budget horror hit and transformed it into something entirely unexpected – a blood-soaked slapstick comedy that would redefine an entire genre. Evil Dead 2 isn't just a sequel; it's a reinvention that dials everything up to eleven while maintaining the manic energy that made the original a cult classic.

A nameless trailer that crashed into theaters during Transformers screenings became the talk of the internet overnight. Just a date—1-18-08—and fleeting glimpses of destruction in Manhattan.
