'Dead by Dawn' | Polish giallo | review
Torrone’s film lovingly blends giallo, slasher, and occult themes into a bloody, gore-soaked pulp that goes gloriously off the rails in the third act.

Gunfighter Paradise | Horror Western Review
Poster for Gunfighter Paradise The intersection of The Coen Brothers and David Lynch is where Gunfighter Paradise , Jethro Waters’s darkly comedic horror western, sits comfortably. A surrealistic look at gun culture, Bible Belt faith, and how grief changes a person, Waters imbues his film with a dark—and desert dry—sense of humor that never undercuts the more horrific and tension filled elements within his loose narrative. Gunfighter Paradise is a vibe movie. It’s a meander

The Haunted forest (2026) | Review
At the Haunted Forest, death sells. The Haunted Forest is a 2026 horror-slasher whodunit set inside a real haunted attraction. Following scare actor Zach as haunt workers are picked off one by one, the film excels in atmosphere and production value. While scares are limited, strong performances and an authentic Halloween vibe make this indie horror worth a look.

Bad Voodoo (2026) | Review
Bad Voodoo revives the roots of zombie mythology by returning to voodoo-driven horror rather than Romero-style flesh-eaters. When escaped convicts invade a secluded countryside home, they soon discover they may not be the true captors. Directors Andrew Adler and Andre Hepburn deliver a claustrophobic, throwback debut filled with eerie atmosphere, unexpected twists, and a standout performance from Jimmy C. Jules as the mysterious Houngan priest.

The Cramps: A Period Piece | Review
Upon hearing the title The Cramps: A Period Piece, one can expect a film with its tongue firmly planted within its cheek. What can also be expected from writer/director Brooke Cellars’ quirky indie horror gem is sincerity, laughs, and an immaculate 1960s aesthetic. Influenced by the works of John Waters, Mario Bava, and Frederico Fellini, The Cramps puts a campy horror spin on endometriosis, a medical issue that many women deal with, and does so with a lot of heart.

SILVER SCREAMERS | REVIEW
Everyone in the film industry starts somewhere, but most don’t start their filmmaking journey at 96 years old. However, that’s precisely the case for Audrey Cameron, one of the subjects of Sean Cisterna’s Silver Screamers. The heartwarming documentary follows writer-director Cisterna as he directs the horror short “The Rug” with a crew of senior citizens. Through pre-production to the premiere of the short, he showcases every step of the filmmaking process through the eyes of
