In defending the modern concept of a vampire, you might assume that I’m defending the Twilight series or other trashy books in the paranormal romance genre. I am not.

Doctor Who is a fun, campy show most of the time, but it occasionally decides to terrify. The Daleks are the most famous example, but there’s more to see than just one evil alien race. More twisted, disturbing, and dark things out in that universe.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Looks “Distinct” Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is a show that asks: what if the gross sections of Rugrats was made into an entire show? Though perhaps that’s not fair to Aaahh!!! Because, though the animation is rather choppy and awkward, it’s got some rather inventive things put into the monster designs. Though Monsters,…

October Faction Is Not What It Should Be While the marketing for October Faction may have said it’s like The Umbrella Academy, they neglected to say that it’s like the worst parts of The Umbrella Academy. And, in fact, it’s this issue with the show that’s indicative of a problem I’m having with modern television,…

Here’s the review round-up on The Mummy, another film from our 2017’s Most Anticipated Movies list. Our favorite YouTube reviewers are giving the Mummy overall positive, but not super enthusiastic reviews. Consensus seems to be that this movie does a very good job at making us want to see more of Universal’s Dark Universe, but generally,…

If you had the privilege of playing 2015’s game of the year then you’re probably still itching for more. Now Witcher 3 gets even bigger with a new expansion introducing new characters, monsters and more. Get a look at Blood and Wine. Yes, he’s hanging up his swords. The studio, Projekt Red, has no plans…
Directed by Gareth Edwards. Written by Max Borenstein. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, David Stathairn, Juliette Binoche and Bryan Cranston. PG-13, 116 minutes. The new Godzilla film is, fittingly, obsessed with the concept of size. From the opening frame (not counting the main title sequence), the audience is instantly positioned as…
I think by the time actual aliens invade our planet, the human race won’t be interested. Kind of like, “What are you gonna do…attack us? Eh, seen it.” Gareth Edwards’ Monsters (2010) is a yet another film that explores life after our first encounter with otherworldly foreigners. Due to some American tomfoolery, a NASA “thing” crash…

If you’re really looking for something dreadful to watch, I recommend Showtime’s Victorian horror series Penny Dreadful. Not to be confused with the 2006 automobile horror film of the same name, Penny Dreadful boasts a star-studded cast of actors to inhabit its equally impressive roster of literary heroes. So far, it echoes the gorgeously gory…
