Film Review: Doctor Sleep
People have a real love/hate relationship with sequels in general, but horror fans can be tougher sells than most. That goes double when you’re talking about a sequel to a masterpiece like Kubrick’s The Shining. However, it’s hard for even diehard sequel haters to deny that Dr. Sleep looks promising on paper. It’s directed by the talented Mike Flanagan (Hush, Gerald’s Game), based on a hit novel by Stephen King, and stars the consistently great Ewan McGregor (Nightwatch), but does it actually deliver or are you better off simply re-watching The Shining instead?

6-Headed Shark Attack Movie Review
As any die-hard Jaws fan can tell you, it’s just not summer without at least one good (or better yet, not so good) shark movie to take in over a six pack and some popcorn. This year brought us 6-Headed Shark Attack, the latest of Asylum’s campy sequels to 2012’s low-budget 2-Headed Shark Attack.

Film Review: Gretel & Hansel
Anyone familiar with the original versions of classic fairy tales like “Hansel and Gretel” already knows that they have lots of horror movie potential. As a rule though, most attempts to capture these tales on film tend to miss the mark. It’s clear from the conspicuous reversal of the titular names that Gretel & Hansel hopes to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack right from the get-go, but does it actually do the job, or are you better off spending 90 minutes of your time on some other film?

Film Review: Unfriended: Dark Web
Found footage horror films haven’t changed much since classic like The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, and Paranormal Activity first put the genre on the map. However, there’s an interesting subgenre popping up more and more often – the type of found footage horror flick that unfolds completely over computer screens, browser windows, Skype chats, and the like. Nacho Vigalondo’s Open Window is an early example of the idea at work, but 2014’s Unfriended officially took it into the mainstream when it globally raked in a cool $60 million dollars. Unfriended: Dark Web is the much anticipated sequel… but does it actually deliver or would you be better off swiping left and spending your screen time elsewhere?
