One of 2021’s biggest surprises — and one of its better slashers — is John Berardo's Initiation. It's a campus thriller with a masked killer who hunts athlete frat bros for an atrocious secret they keep hidden. That sounds, what … par for the course? How many 1980s or 1990s Pledge Night templates exist like this? I get the hesitation but allow me t...
James Wan’s Malignant— at least among horror crowds — became a viral internet sensation because any description sounded like an admission of insanity. It’s a throwback to 1990s and early 2000s wildness like FearDotCom or anything produced by Dark Castle Entertainment that drags nostalgia out of the 1980s. Contortionist Marina Mazepa portrays a dorm...
Let’s continue with a video game adaptation set in 1962 Taiwan, during the White Terror martial law period. John Hsu’s Detention takes the framework of survival horror in a high school setting, with paranormal scares derived from national trauma turned into an otherworldly evil. Guards enforcing tyrannical practices become demons in an alternate re...
If you’re not privy to the recent wave of Indonesian horror crashing onto platforms like Shudder, use The Queen Of Black Magic as your introduction. Kimo Stamboel and Joko Anwar tag-team as director and writer (respectively), both of whom have introduced American audiences to overseas nightmares like Macabre and Satan’s Slaves. This particular coll...
If Sator were a dish in a three-course meal, it’d be an appetizer before The Dark And The Wicked and Relic. Jordan Graham’s low-budget heartacher is parts Krisha and parts The Blair Witch Project — never as terrifying, mind you — as a psychologically threatening glimpse of grief-driven horrors. Graham directs, writes, edits, gaffs, scores, and does...
Welcome to South Africa’s Tsitsikamma forest, where Jaco Bouwer‘s Gaia wages an environmental war against humankind. Two park rangers investigate a figure on their surveillance cameras during a routine check but find agitated survivalists and monsters born from vengeful soil. Mother Earth’s rightfully pissed about how we’ve poisoned our planet, so ...
Nia DaCosta’s Candyman— say it five times — was worth the wait. It’s a reclamation of Daniel Robitaille’s story through a new perspective, modernized and recontextualized by Black creators. DaCosta is clever to hone in on “Candyman” as an ideology, not a sole slasher villain, as a commentary on the cyclical nature of the racial injustices suffered ...
For those who haven’t humored my after-hours defenses of horror remake culture, let my praise for Danishka Esterhazy’s Slumber Party Massacre set the tone. The 1987 original lusts after co-eds pursued by the “Driller Killer” as a means of satirizing the prevalent male gaze in 80s slashers — a premise of the times that drew hesitation in terms of mo...
Censor is no one-trick pony, from its addressing of censorship in media — driven by the U.K. government’s enforced edits during the “Video Nasty” era — to a trippy transformation into the very type of movie its main character censors. Prano Bailey-Bond proudly keeps her video nasty in this satire turned slasher, one that stacks the ignored underbel...
“I do not care for hunky boys … or do I?” If you don’t know this quote or the many other delightfully unexpected lines of dialogue throughout Psycho Goreman, fix that immediately. Steven Kostanski takes the formulaic sitcom family and introduces an unstoppable alien executioner to their dysfunctional household. Littlest Mimi (Nita-Josee Hanna) snat...
