The dash-and-slash feature debut from filmmaker Hope Madden, Obstacle Corpse has just finished its festival tour, where it gathered awards and screened at Joe Swanberg’s (Netflix’s Drinking Buddies) secret video store. Now watch the bloody story of teen Sunny (Sylvie Mix, Poser) trying to prove herself to her survivalist dad on the world’s deadliest race course. In the film, Mix’s character, feeling overshadowed by her sisters, signs up for a mysterious obstacle course race with her equally unprepared friend, Ezra. But as they witness military-style enforcers, creepy race organizers, and a series of brutal murders, the two quickly realize that they’re running for their lives. “I’m a lifelong horror fan, writer and critic, and I made Obstacle Corpse for everyone who loves laughs and a genuine story with their gooey head smashes,” said Madden. “But you never know what will connect, and we’ve been so honored by the reception, and people telling each other they have to see it.” Madden

The series not only has killer episodes but also features a killer soundtrack with a new original song, ‘Oh, Dolores‘ from Cyndi Lauper (co-written by Ben Hopkins), known for her hit songs like ‘Time After Time.’ The iconic songstress also has a recurring role in the series as a P.I. investigating missing people. Starring Justina Machado, “The Horror of Dolores Roach” is a contemporary Sweeney Todd-inspired tale of love, betrayal, weed, cannibalism, and survival of the fittest. It is based on both the play and the hit Spotify podcast series of the same name by creator Aaron Mark who we recently interviewed about the series.

In 1997, Rodrigo Gudiño founded the horror/music magazine Rue Morgue, which has since become an iconic staple in the genre. But that’s not all he’s been up to. Somehow he has found the time to become a filmmaker as well. His latest film, The Breach, is set to be released this July. Let me tell you about The Breach. It follows John Hawkins, who is in his last days as Chief of Police in the tiny town of Lone Crow, deep in the woods of Northern Ontario. But when a mangled body with strange wounds is found on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled into a horrific mystery filled with black magic. And the soundtrack features the iconic Guns N’ Roses Guitarist and Rock God, Slash, who also serves as an Executive Producer. I had the pleasure of talking with Gudiño and discussing his magazine, The Breach, and his next film. The Breach premieres on Digital and VOD

The third volume of our series, ‘Criminally Underrated Horror Movies You Need To Watch,’ provides more great films you may have missed. Be sure to check out Part I and Part II of our list. Keep an eye out for more lists to come. The Exorcist III (1990) The Exorcist III is the only film (in my opinion) that comes close to the quality of the original movie.

Mickey quickly finds himself tangled in the mysterious disappearance of a new student at his school, Ashley Kent, which leads to uncovering unimaginable secrets within their quiet suburban community. With the help of his friends, the inventive Spoon and the secretive Ema., Mickey pulls back the sleepy facade of Kasselton to reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances, deaths, legends, and perhaps even his own dark family history.
