The documentary follows a group whose friendships were formed and molded by A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Movie Review: 'Violent Night' Is Our New Favorite Christmas Movie

Movie Review: ‘Violent Night’ Is Our New Favorite Christmas Movie

One of my favorite aspects of Christmas is the holiday horror films. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Violent Night, and yesterday, Universal gifted viewers with the surprise release of it On Demand (it’s still in theaters). I slipped on my PJs, popped a bag of popcorn, snuggled up with my dogs (Rosie and Freyja), and hit play. In the movie, “When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour, Black Widow, “Stranger Things”) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.” David Harbour has proved his acting talent in “Stranger Things,” so I had high expectations that he’d nail a badass Sants, and I was not disappointed. Between his battles with the bad guys, we see the tender side of old Saint Nick when he comes in contact with a

Movie Review: Prey For The Devil - The Best Possession Movie We've Seen In Years

Movie Review: Prey For The Devil – The Best Possession Movie We’ve Seen In Years

From director Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism) comes Prey for the Devil, the best possession film I’ve seen in years! The film centers on Sister Ann (Jacqueline Byers), who believes she is answering a calling to be the first female exorcist…but who or what called her? In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, Ann seeks a place at an exorcism school reopened by the Catholic Church. Until now, these schools have only trained priests in the Rite of Exorcism – but a professor (Colin Salmon) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrusting onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante (Christian Navarro), Sister Ann finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl, who Sister Ann believes is possessed by the same demon that tormented her mother years ago. Determined to root out the evil, Ann soon realizes that evil has been expecting her. Our main character, Sister Anne, played by

Co-Directors Manuel Camilion and Benjamin Edelman Talk ‘Santastein’

This time of year, nothing is better than holiday-themed horror films. When the press release for the upcoming movie Santastein came across my desk, I wanted to know more, so I reached out to its co-directors, to learn more about the film, which has an exciting concept that combines Santa with Frankenstein. In the film, inspired by a short film, “Max Causey was only six years old when he accidentally burned Santa to a crisp on Christmas Eve. 12 years later, Max attempts to raise Santa from the dead in order to fix his past mistakes and restore the Christmas spirit. But he soon realizes that the creature he has created is a bloodthirsty killer – and it’s headed straight for his friend’s Christmas party!” https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/interview-with-directors-manuel-camilion-and-benjamin-edelman?si=5ee19e5c64e1430f87cdd6ce7f28d46b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Kelli: “Now, all right, so tell me about Santastein, or Santastein, actually.” Manuel: “It’s a common misnomer. People mix it up a lot. Ben, you want to start, or should I?” Ben: “Go ahead,
