Good evening and here we are again, sprinting facefirst through the black trees. This one’s got everything I love: stunning cinematography, myth, a survival horror narrative thread, buddy humor, and an absolutely horrifying monster. I’m deconstructing a new Netflix release – The Ritual [2017, directed by David Bruckner]. Our protagonist Luke and his friends all have a raging case […]
Greetings and Happy New Year, darklings. I’ve come back to you from the edge of madness after binging some of the most upsetting, intense, and confusing horror I’ve ever absorbed in my life. Yes, I use the word “absorb,” because this series will change you from viewing it. I’m not sure I would classify it as literally traumatic, […]

Good evening, you creeps! With apologies for radio silence, I’m back on the airwaves after completing a cross-country move. The boxes are unpacked, and I just really need some horror in my life right now. I aimed high this week. We’re digging into Suspiria [1977, directed by Dario Argento]. This is an Italian horror film, […]
