Blu-ray Review: V/H/S/ 94 (2021)

For those unfamiliar with the V/H/S series , here’s the eerie elevator pitch: an anthology of period terror tales is presented in the found footage format, more specifically via VHS tapes. I can safely say that V/H/S 94 sticks to that formula (which doubtless comes a shock to some of you lascivious lot). Moving on, V/H/S 94 begins with a woman in a strange compound huffing fumes from some sort of demonic jizz or another, before she begins a countdown with her eyes gouged out. Meanwhile, a SWAT team raids said compound finding all manner of ghoulish goings-on before a news broadcast begins… Written and directed by Jennifer Reeder, this is a nice, tension filled way to kick out the jams and get this fright flick rocking n’ rolling (as are the segments of the tale that appear between each story proper)! The above leads into Chloe Okuno’s Storm Drain, which tales the tale of Channel 6 news reporter Holly

Movie Review: Shudder’s ‘Night’s End’ Is Definitely Worth Checking Out

Ken is a man suffering from OCD, anxiety, and depression following a mental breakdown. After isolating himself in his new apartment, he sets out to build a YouTube channel about life. Already struggling with mental health issues, Ken is talking with his friend, who asks him about something that fell in the background of one of his videos. Once Ken begins to investigate, he wakes up dark entities that turn his world upside down. Ken decides to use the events to build his audience, but he soon realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew. Geno Walker stars as Ken, a man who comes off as constantly scared. He’s locked himself away from life, including avoiding seeing his two young children or getting a job. As someone who has encountered mental health issues in the past, I feel for this guy. He’s sad. You have to feel for him. Geno Walker does a fantastic job of emoting Ken’s fear

Certified Fresh Serial Killer Thriller 'Watcher' Heads To Shudder

A Woman Is Stalked While A Killer Is On The Loose In ‘Watcher’ (Trailer)

IFC Midnight, that’s a name horror fans know they can trust to deliver quality films. Today, they have shared the first trailer for one of their upcoming releases, the horror-thriller Watcher that will carry on that tradition. In Watcher, Julia (Maika Monroe) joins her husband (Karl Glusman) when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job. Having recently abandoned her acting career, she finds herself frequently alone and unoccupied. One night, people-watching from her picture window, she spots a vague figure in an adjacent building, who seems to be looking back at her. Soon after, while alone at a local movie theater, Julia’s sense of being watched intensifies, and she becomes certain she’s being followed — could it be the same unknown neighbor? Meanwhile, a serial killer known as The Spider stalks the city. Watcher, which made its world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, is directed by Chloe Okuno, who co-wrote the film with Zack
