There’s a great high-concept premise at the start of “Consumed,” an otherwise frustrating creature feature about a married couple who go camping and then fall apart. A rift has already formed between Beth (Courtney Halverson) and Jay (Mark Famiglietti) before they set out on a long hike, so tension only continues to grow once they’re […]

There’s always an aura of mystery attached to a name such as Hope Goldman, hope, steel, and hostess are all suitable word combinations for a name of such divine purpose. This is a name that may have dreams of being announced to the world and who would not wish for Hope to be a part

It’s probably easier to keep track of how many horror movies have friends going into the woods and coming out alive since that has become the norm nowadays.

I would like to think that being the descendant of a witch hunter is one of the most terrifying things I can think of. The descendants of witch hunters like you did back in 1622 seem to be in even worse trouble. Based on all the fictional accounts that I have encountered, it would seem

Tooth Fairy, the horror film released in 2019, also known as Toof, was so brutal that I did not expect to write a review for the fifth installment of this franchise. How did we get five films in four years? There is an added layer of mystery when I mention that, partly out of a
