Our coverage of the Fantasia Film Festival is rolling on, even if the Festival has officially wrapped! One movie I absolutely need to talk about is The Undertone, because it’s undoubtedly one of my favourite movies that I saw at the festival. The setup is simple: “A podcast host covering spooky content moves in to…
Tina Romero, daughter of legendary horror filmmaker George A. Romero, makes her directorial debut with her own take on the zombie genre in Queens of the Dead. This horror comedy follows a group of drag queens, DJs, drug dealers, and club kids who have to fend for themselves as zombies flood the streets of Brooklyn…
Have you ever felt like you were losing yourself in a relationship? Writer and director Michael Shanks takes that fear and turns it into the central horror of his debut feature Together. Tim and Millie (played by real-life spouses Dave Franco and Alison Brie) have been together for a decade when they uproot their life…
28 Days Later hit theatres in 2002 and has loomed large in the lexicon of horror fans everywhere. Even before I saw the full film, I knew the haunting image of Jim (played by now-Oscar winner Cillian Murphy) wandering the empty streets of London. To this day it remains one of the most striking and…

When I saw the trailer for Clown in a Cornfield at the theatre I was intrigued, but skeptical. I…
It’s been 14 years since the last Final Destination movie and I, for one, thought the franchise was dead and buried. Thankfully, Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth instalment in the series, brings some fresh blood to the lineage. I have a fondness for the Final Destination films, particularly the first three. As a kid, I…
Opus is the directorial debut for writer/director Mark Anthony Green and stars Ayo Edebiri as Ariel Ecton, our main character and an aspiring writer, and John Malkovich as Alfred Moretti, a musician with a Prince-esque aura and the global popularity of Michael Jackson. The synopsis reads: “A young writer is invited to the remote compound…
Companion is a movie that I think is best enjoyed if you know absolutely nothing about it. I watched the trailers after I saw the movie and I implore you to not watch them if you plan to watch this movie, because it gives too much away. I managed to dodge the trailers, but just…
When I went to see Companion (review coming soon), the trailer for Heart Eyes was playing before it. I do my best to avoid trailers, even when I’m in the theatre, but when this one started, I thought it looked so bad that I’d never bother watching it in the first place. That feeling quickly…
