“Kids vs. Aliens” – A Chaotic, Over the Top Ride with Lots of Gore and Goo

With a title like Kids vs. Aliens, the movie pretty much sells itself and tells you exactly what you’re in for.  Both in terms of plot and tone.  Shudder’s latest exclusive movie is a spinoff from one of the segments in V/H/S/2, but you fear not if you haven’t seen that.  This movie very much stands on its own merits, for both better and worse… … Continue reading “Kids vs. Aliens” – A Chaotic, Over the Top Ride with Lots of Gore and Goo

“Dreamcatcher” 20 Years Later – Why It Failed So Miserably

Known as the master of horror, Stephen King has written some of the most iconic horror stories of the last half century.  And while his books are beloved, the countless film and television adaptations of his work are very hit or miss.  For every Pet Semetary and Carrie, there’s a Langoliers and Maximum Overdrive. One such adaptation that didn’t quite catch on with audiences or … Continue reading “Dreamcatcher” 20 Years Later – Why It Failed So Miserably

John Carpenter’s 1988 classic They Live was very much a product of its time.  With media like Stranger Things, The Goldbergs and every single slasher requel, it’s easy to look back on the 1980’s with nostalgia. But for every rose-tinted viewpoint, there’s a darker side underneath, and John Carpenter’s sci-fi/horror/action film touched upon that perfectly.  But what’s even more fascinating is that They Live has … Continue reading Why “They Live” Remains So Relevant Today

25 Fun Facts About “Men in Black”

We’ve all wondered whether or not we’re truly alone in the universe, and it’s for that reason that alien media is so popular within science fiction.  Some have even theorized that extraterrestrial beings already live among us, and no film illustrates that scenario better than 1997’s Men in Black.

Making Sense of “Color Out of Space”

In many ways, it’s kind of surprising that a movie like Color Out of Space even happened. Director Richard Stanley had been coming off of a 24 year directing hiatus, and there hadn’t really been a “mainstream” H.P. Lovecraft adaptation since Dagon almost 20 years prior. But the stars (and other things) all aligned to produce this very strange film. One that people argue is … Continue reading Making Sense of “Color Out of Space”
