Review: Eli Roth’s Documentary ‘Fin’ Is More Horrifying Than Any Horror Film

Shark Week kicks off on Discovery+ on July 11th. Among the shark-themed shows and specials is a documentary titled Fin, from filmmaker Eli Roth who is a leading name in the horror genre, delivering films such Cabin Fever, Hostel, and The Green Inferno. Here’s the thing, Fin is filled with more gore and stomach-churning horrors than a movie could ever capture. In the doc, Roth delves into the horrific and heartbreaking fin trade. What is the fin trade? Let me fill you in. Fishermen catch sharks, often hacking off their fins and throw them back into the sea to die a painful death, often drowning. Buyers purchase the fins and use them to make shark fin soup, an expensive meal considered a status symbol. Roth takes us behind the scenes of the fin trade revealing the massive amount of sharks slaughtered each year. Upwards of 17, 000 tons of fins are brought into China alone every year. An average of

Paramount+ Is Taking Us Back To The ‘Pet Sematary’ With A New Prequel

The world of Pet Sematary is expanding with a new prequel in the works at Paramount+, which will be Lindsey Beer’s feature directorial debut. Jeff Buhler, who penned the script for the 2019 adaptation, based on the Stephen King story, wrote the prequel which was last revised by Beer, THR is reporting.

Shudder Review: The Boy Behind The Door (2021) Is A Dark Must-See Thriller

There are few things in this world that upset me more than the abuse of children. That’s the subject of co-writers and co-directors Justin Powell and David Charbonier’s horror-thriller The Boy Behind the Door. In The Boy Behind the Door, “a night of unimaginable terror awaits twelve-year-old Bobby and his best friend, Kevin when they are abducted on their way home from school. Managing to escape his confines, Bobby navigates the dark halls, praying his presence goes unnoticed as he avoids his captor at every turn. Even worse is the arrival of another stranger, whose mysterious arrangement with the kidnapper may spell certain doom for Kevin. With no means of calling for help and miles of dark country in every direction, Bobby embarks on a rescue mission, determined to get himself and Kevin out alive… or die trying.” First off, I was incredibly impressed by the caliber of acting from the young stars who were both around 13 at the
