Morgan is your typical, everyday teenager…all ‘tude and ’80’s slang (as the kids today do?). Anyway, Morgan gives her father the ol’ wise ass ass wise one too many and finds herself grounded…and forced to stay at home with her nuttier than a god damn fruitcake grandmother (who continuously spews blood and lives in what could best be described as a freakin’ haunted attraction in the attic) while her father goes out on a date. To deal with this bummer turn of events, Morgan does a shit ton of drugs and eats pizza in her underwear (a typical Tuesday for some of you creeps, except she actually looks attractive doing it). Soon Morgan is plagued by a series of bizarre obscene phone calls, strange psychotic episodes featuring her dead mother, and the demands of nutty Nana…not to mention an outre, psychotic stranger named Barry that appears on our heroine’s door step (with a supposed tie to her Father) who ups

“Behind every tradition lies a revolution.” The Purge franchise continues this 4th of July with The First Purge, from director Gerard McMurray and screenwriter James DeMonaco, the franchise’s creator. Today, we get a look at how the annual night of chaos and murder began in the film’s first teaser trailer. We should also talk about the new poster that puts a new twist on Trump’s iconic red hat and slogan of “Make America Great Again” and replaces it with “The First Purge”. Political statement? Maybe, but I think it’s hilarious. “To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.” Luna Lauren Velez, Melonie Diaz, Mo McRae, Chyna Layne, Y’lan

As The Campus begins, an archaeology expedition unleashes Satan (realized in damn fine practical glory) from his underground prison. Well apparently the leader of that lil’ expidition made a deal with ol’ Scratch, and after he dies, his estranged daughter Morgan is left hangin’ in the breeze to make good on the balance of the deal. How does this affect her everyday life? For starters she’s menaced by dudes in bizarre masks who make odd clicking sounds and try to murder here every damn second. They actually succeed and ol’ Morgy is brought back to life…only to die and come back time and again with each resurrection taking another piece of her essence. Can Morgan end the curse and square off with the Devil before she completely forfeits her soul? The Campus is one hell of a fun time in the ol’ horror biz! It’s loaded with practical effects (including monster suits and gallons o’ gooey gore), great occult overtones,

How many times have we heard a horror film advertised as “scary as hell” or “the scariest film in decades”? Well, this time, the hype might actually be true. At Sundance, the horror film Hereditary, the feature debut from writer-director Ari Aster, premiered and it is getting a lot of buzz. Many are taking to social media stating it is the scariest film they’ve ever seen. And when I say a lot of people, I really mean a crapload of people. So, what is the film about? It starts when Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away and her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, Ann Dowd, Zachary Arthur, Ann Dowd, and Milly Shapiro star. Hereditary is set to be released on June 8, 2018,
