Usually, serial killers in slasher horror movies are introduced with the vaguest of hints at their backstory or how they magically appear behind their victims without making a sound. The motivation behind their urge to kill people is shrouded in mystery because it’s that confusion that fuels the fear of being chased by one of these fictional maniacs. Only after they become pop culture icons are their modus operandi and the source of their power dissected via sequels, prequels, remakes, and reboots. In a Violent Nature takes a different approach in its attempt to mythologize Johnny by stripping away the mystique around his actions and constantly following him as he slowly approaches his victims and kills them. Is that interesting, or is it too simple to be enjoyable? Let’s find out.

Watching Christmas horror movies is a proud tradition for spooky fiends looking to escape their post-Halloween blues and the agonizing two months of forced consumerism and awful music blasting in every department store. The films in this very specific category are known for subverting the cheer and innocence associated with the holiday, and often focus on characters experiencing isolation because their family situation is far from those depicted in generic Hallmark Christmas movies. Every year, we are treated to new ideas on how to make Christmas creepy, and this year fans should be snuggling up on the couch to view is The Sacrifice Game.
Co-written with her husband Sean Redlitz, The Sacrifice Game is the sophomore feature for director Jenn Wexler, produced by Heather Buckley (who previously worked with Wexler on The Ranger), as well as Philip Kalin-Hajdu and Albert Melamed. The story is set in the 1970s, pulling inspiration...

Lights, camera, howls! Larry Fessenden's latest indie gem Blackout recently celebrated its World Premiere at the 2023 Fantasia Film Festival. An expansion of Fessenden's contemporary remix of the Universal Classic Monster stories (a welcome choice with the failed Dark Universe project on the back burner for the foreseeable future), Blackout stars Alex Hurt as the cursed hairball, with supporting performances from genre icon Barbara Crampton (also appearing at Fantasia in Joe Lynch's Suitable Flesh), Rigo Garay (The Leech), Jeremy Holm (The Ranger), and Marshall Bell (Total Recall) as small-town America's asshole extraordinaire.
Charley Barrett is an artist and struggling alcoholic who is desperate to get his life in order before the next full moon. Perpetually 24 hours from leaving town for good, Charley attempts to make amends with the loved ones he's hurt through his addiction, and atone for the corporate sins of his father that threaten to destroy his hometown.

The UK’s biggest horror and genre festival returns to London this August, with another gloriously gory programme. Kicking off with the European premiere of much anticipated new body horror Suitable Flesh from genre legend Joe Lynch, FrightFest’s 2023 summer event boasts a whopping seventy films across four screens, and this year will return to being entirely under one roof, at the Cineworld Leicester Square.
Among the heavy-hitters in the festivals line-up are Farang, the latest “French blockbuster” from fantasy favourite Xavier Gens, Hitman); Where the Devil Roams, the newest chiller from family filmmaking team John, Zelda, Toby and Lulu Adams; Paris Zarcilla’s SXSW breakout hit Raging Grace and transgender director Alice Maio Mackay’s game changing Australian thriller T Blockers, shot by a predominantly queer, non-binary and trans cast and crew.
Documentary fans will be spoiled for choice, too, with new films on the legacy of J-horror, Brian Yuzna...

"Let the games begin." Such is the title of a clip from the highly-anticipated "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," which is based on the beloved tabletop role-playing game, "Dungeons & Dragons." "D&d" has been steadily gaining mainstream popularity over the last 50 years since its release, and it's about time that we got a riveting, live-action rendition of this particular fantasy adventure. "Honor Among Thieves" looks like a hell lot of fun, replete with a band of thieves who must make their way out of a dangerous area while battling "D&d" monsters, who display no mercy toward the players.
The clip already proves how some aspects of the tabletop game have been successfully translated onto the big screen. The primary threat in this segment, a displacer beast, is shown using its standard powers of bending light and creating illusions to trick players while being resistant to all ranged attacks.
