The Vile (2025) is a crisp and creative exploration of the rights and treatment of women. With stellar direction and heartfelt performances, this film will leave you questioning what's real and questioning how we respect the consent of those we love. #horror #fantasticfest

Meat Kills (2025) is an unflinching Dutch film examining the meat packing industry, vengeance and cruelty. With outstanding performances, and exceptional direction, this film raises interesting questions and had me shifting my allegiances through the entire runtime. #fantasticfest #horror

Dolly (2025) premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 21st. It's a throwback slasher with an incredible amount of charm, scares, and style. Taking inspiration from the '70s slashers this film stands on the shoulders of greatness while finding its own voice. #horror #fantasticfest

Traumatika (2025) is a disturbing, frightening, and overall unsettling film. With unique camera work and a noteworthy performance from Rebekah Kennedy, it's worth your time. Just be prepared for some shifts in tone towards the end of the film. #horror #horrorsky

American Sweatshop (2025) is an unflinching look at the dangers of the dark side of the internet. With incredibly relatable performances, a thrilling central mystery, and a touch of humor, don't miss this film when it hits VOD on September 5th. #horror #horrorsky #americansweatshop

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is far better than it is remembered to be. It's a campy and over the top reenactment film that expands on the lore of the The Blair Witch Project and it features solid direction and some commendable performances. #horror #horrorsky

Lilly Lives Alone (2025) is a surreal and ambiguous film exploring loss, grief, and mental instability. With a razor sharp script, outstanding direction, and compelling performances, I highly recommend giving this one a watch. #horror #horrorsky

Primitive War (2025) is surprisingly full of heart. I expected dinosaur carnage but I didn't expect the humor and the well rounded and distinct characters. Add to that the capable direction of Luke Sparke and you have a winner of a dino film. #horrorsky

The Unseen by Ania Ahlborn (2025) is an unnerving look at a family's destruction at the hands of a foster child who is more than what they seem. Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the ARC #horror #netgalley #hortorsky #booksky

Street Trash (2024) directed by Ryan Kruger is a gory body horror film with a sharp social commentary. Loosely based on the 1987 film, it's a love letter to the original film, practical effects, and community. #horror #horrorsky

Return of the Living Dead (1985) turns 40 today! This iconic cult classic forever changed how we view zombies and introduced "Braaaaaiiiiiins" into the cultural landscape. It's fun, funny, and created by the co-writer of Night of the Living Dead. #returnofthelivingdead #horror #horrorsky

Die'ced Reloaded (2025) Horror Movie Review Benny is one of the most interesting slashers since Art the Clown. With a deep backstory, over the top gore, and likeable characters, this '80s throwback slasher is a total win! #horror #horrorsky

Weapons (2025) from director Zach Cregger is a nuanced and surreal follow-up to the incredible Barbarian. It's a slow burn and textured horror movie that is an absolute must watch! #weaponsmovie #horror #horrorsky

The Mutilator (1984) is a campy, low budget, indie Slasher. With an awesome synth score, great practical effects, and a unique location, if you like campy indie slashers you'll love this film. It also has the weirdest movie tie-in song of all time. #horrorsky

The Blair Witch Project (1999) is one of my top 5 favorite movies. I love (respectfully) visiting Burkittsville and the other filming locations when I get a chance. The town is absolutely beautiful, with buildings dating back to 1821 and a Cemetery dating back to 1831. #horrorsky

28 Years Later (2025) is more about family, relationships and manhood than it is about Zombies. There are plenty of infected in the film, but its narrative and emotional core lies with Spike, Isla, and Spikes coming of age. #horrorsky

Another (2025) by @paultremblay.bsky.social is a whip-smart middle grade novel that packs enough scares to keep an adult audience engaged. Tremblay's prose crackles and it's backed up by compelling themes. But most of all, this book is a love letter to art and artists. #horrorsky

The Descent (2005) is as relentless as it is claustrophobic. Finding itself on my top 10 all time horror movies list, this film features mind blowing scenic design, meticulous sound design, nuanced performances, and a strong showing from director Neil Marshall #horrorsky

The Funhouse (1981) might be one of the most underrated movies of the 1980s. With a jaw dropping creature reveal, and elements of both slasher films and the gritter films of Tobe Hooper, this film deserves more attention than it gets. #horror #horrorsky

The Dentist (1996) is a horror fever dream of an '80s holdover movie. Distinctly Brian Yuzna in its style, this movie is full of gore, body horror, and sleaze. With great performances and an unnerving sound design, this film deserves a check-up. #horror #horrorsky
