3 of the Squishiest, Creepy-Crawliest Cult Horror Movies Ever Made

Some movies give us monsters that are supernatural. Some hail from outer space or are so huge they just stomp anything in their way. But other movies—including the three we’re celebrating here today—spotlight those small yet vicious critters in our midst that often go unnoticed until just the right thing sets them off. Slugs: The…

The Sound of Violence Will Make Your Head Explode (In a Good Way)

The Sound of Violence, from writer/director Alex Noyer, debuted at the 2021 South by Southwest Film Festival’s Midnighter showcase. It’s a booming and colorful horror film, following an unhinged DJ. With that kind of logline, you’ll understand that when it allows itself to relish in brutality, it’s great fun. When it’s not doing that, it’s left…

2 Transformers Movies Are Apparently Still in the Works

After what felt like a non-stop barrage of Transformers movies, the past few years have been quiet on Cybertron (at least in live-action). That’s largely in part to the most recent film, Bumblebee, doing so poorly in comparison to its predecessors, despite many thinking it was the best of the bunch. In that time, though,…

But we want to be right here, right now, in this moment: because it’s Friday. And that means gifs. Though yet another blessed Friday’s already here, if…

Breaking Down The Suicide Squad‘s Madcap, Bloody Trailer

Witch Hunt Embodies the Limitations of White Magical Thinking

The magic put on display in Elle Callahan’s Witch Hunt—which premiered at the 2021 South by Southwest Film Festival—is somewhat ill-defined. But the movie’s tale of powerful women being persecuted and brutalized for their natural-born gifts is more than recognizable, at least if you’ve been paying attention to the countless stories of undocumented immigrants living…

The Alien on Stage Documentary Is Pure Sci-Fi Joy

In 2019, a New Jersey high school made national news when it put on a stage production of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien. The production even got the attention of Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. It was a huge deal because everyone had the exact same thought: “How the hell do you turn Alien into…

The Dark Crystal Will Return…as a Ballet

If you’re like us, the sting of Netflix not renewingThe Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance still hurts. For a show to be so magical, so unforgettable, and for it to end so unceremoniously was truly a disappointment. It seems, though, that Thra, Gelflings, and Skeksis will continue on, just in a very unexpected way. For…
