‘The Howling’ (1981) Review “We should never try to deny the beast - the animal within us.” As I may have said before, I’m not a huge fan of werewolf movies. I don’t dislike them, but as a subgenre they don’t pique my interest the way things like J-Horror and gialli do. I’m never going to say to…

Raf’s Roundups | TIFF 2025 Dispatch I've already reviewed some of the movies I saw this year at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival. However, there were a few other feature films I had the pleasure of screening that also deserve some spotlight. Including new projects from Academy Award…

TV to Scream | October 2025 Finally, we’re in spooky season and frankly, we deserve this.

The 31 Days of Halloween | 2025 Watchlist No other holiday serves up the perfect excuse to binge-watch movies all month long like Halloween.

‘Girl Haunts Boy’ (2024) Review In the 1920s, a curious young woman named Bea (Peyton List) is visiting a museum with her family when she steals one half of a ring from a display. Shortly after, she is hit by a car and killed. Fast forward to the present day, when a 17-year-old boy named Cole…

Got a chance to talk with @rafstitt.bsky.social, @jacobholmes.bsky.social and King Alvarez about one of my favorite, low-budget, undersung sci-fi gems! My internet crapped out, so it's low quality phone from my end, but it was a rambling good time.

Do You Think ‘Joker’ (2019) Is OverRated? One of the biggest debates in all of cinema is whether an actor, director, or movie is overrated or underrated. Is that Oscar-winning actor truly deserving of the hype? Is that cult-favorite director secretly a genius? Or is that blockbuster movie riding…

‘Blood Lines’ (2025) Review | TIFF 2025 Gail Maurice is a one-woman force in her latest film, Blood Lines. She wrote, directed, and produced the movie. And on top of all of that, found time to be of one of the film’s co-stars. She truly does it all. Which is understandable, when you learn that…

‘One Battle After Another’ (2025) Review Paul Thomas Anderson has something to say about 2025. His new film, One Battle After Another, is emphatically set in the present day - Leonardo DiCaprio fiddles around with iPhone settings and tries to figure out pronouns. But the film’s concern with…

50’s Monster Movie Double Feature: ‘Fiend Without a Face’ (1958) and ‘The Monolith Monsters’ (1957) I think everyone has at least one comfort film, the movie they watch when they’re stressed, or down, or just having a bad day. The one that makes you feel warm and cozy. For some people that’s The…

‘Him’ (2025) Review I think I’m just a sucker for a good trailer. When Him’s trailer dropped, I was hype. A few of my friend groups sent it to me, and the general buzz was that it looked great. A sports horror, playing on the idea of pushing yourself past your breaking point for a chance at…

‘The Long Walk’ (2025) Review I think the Stephen King adaptation curse may be broken. We’ve gotten a lot of King adaptations in the last five to ten years, and pretty much all (save Salem’s Lot, which I still found pretty fun) of them were solid. Most recently both The Life of Chuck and The…

J-Horror Double Feature: ‘Shikoku’ (1999) and ‘Inugami’ (2001) I’m late this week because I couldn’t shake the giallo mood.
