Movie Review: Phantoms (1998) – Scream Factory 4K/Blu-ray combo
Hey, it’s Joe Chappelle’s (Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers) adaptation of horror author Dean R. Koontz’s (who also wrote the screenplay) Phantoms… a movie I have seen exactly once upon it’s release (now considerably more thanks to this review) and couldn’t get into (mostly because I was too busy making out with my ghoul-friend at the time). Now, some of you cats n’ creeps may only know this flick as the subject of a punchline in one of Kevin Smith’s anecdotal tales (although him making fun of anyone’s picture is the glassiest of glass houses considering the cinematic shits he’s delivered as of late), but at it’s core, Phantoms is a solid- enough supernatural shocker. M.D. Jennifer Pailey (Joanna Going) decides to bring her troubled sister Lisa (Rose McGowan, Scream, Planet Terror) on a sabbatical to the remote Colorado town she calls home, but as is the way, most of the town is dead… not like in a “slow

New ‘All My Friends Are Dead’ Trailer Teases a Bloody Good Time
The new Red Band trailer for the horror comedy All My Friends Are Dead (AMFAD) has just dropped. It teases a bloody good time. All My Friends Are Dead throws young friends vacationing at an Airbnb into a deadly game. If they are not careful, they’ll fall victim to a gruesome killer. The killer has an interesting M.O. Each murder they commit is themed around one of the seven deadly sins: pride, sloth, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, and envy. This promises a wild ride, blending laughs with scares in a candy-coated nightmare. All My Friends Are Dead boasts a pedigree steeped in horror. Marcus Dunstan, the writer behind Saw IV-3D, directs the film. Expect creative, bloody, and brutal kills. The script comes from Josh Sims and Jessica Sarah Flaum, the team behind the T.V. series “PBC.” Controversial dancer/musician/actress JoJo Siwa stars alongside a talented cast, including Jade Pettyjohn (“Little Fires Everywhere”), Justin Derickson (Monster High), and Jennifer Ens (“Chapelwaite”).

First Dinosaur from ‘Jurassic World 4’ Unveiled in Video
News about the upcoming Jurassic World movie has begun to roll in. The first video has arrived, giving a glimpse at one of the dinosaurs, the Parasaurolophus, a herbivore present in all Jurassic movies, even sharing a touching scene with Chris Pratt in Jurassic World: Dominion. While the news surrounding Parasaurolophus doesn’t shed light on the plot or timeline, it’s the first confirmed dinosaur. The Parasaurolophus lived around 76 million years ago. The massive leaf eater reached about 30 feet long and weighed in at over 5.5 tons. And while it wouldn’t eat you, you still wouldn’t want to piss it off.

Take a look below and let us know if you recognize the dinosaur from previous movies.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: “Indera” and “Help, I’m Alien Pregnant” (Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival)
Indera (Malaysia, 2024) Although Malaysian horror Indera is, according to the official film description, “set against the backdrop of the violent Memali Incident in 1985,” director Ming Jin Woo’s feature should work fine for viewers with little-to-no prior knowledge of the event. Handyman Joe (Shaheizy Sam) does his best to raise his young daughter Sofia (Samara Kenzo) after her mother (Ashira Shafinaz) — who was also his wife — died in a tragic accident. Penniless and evicted, Joe takes on the position of caretaker for an older Javanese woman (Ruminah Sidek) who is raising three young orphans. The locals give the woman a wide berth for mysterious reasons. Fans of supernatural cinema should find plenty to be impressed with here, with top-notch performances from the main cast members, and although Indera contains some tried-and-true horror tropes, it puts an intriguing local flavor on matters, and Woo directs with a fine sense of building mystery and delivering chills. Help, I’m Alien

Spoiler-Free Reviews: “Whale Bones” and “Six Singing Women” (Japan Cuts 2024)
Whale Bones (Japan, 2023) Horror-adjacent Japanese feature Whale Bones delivers social commentary about the fickleness, loneliness, and desperation of life on social media apps, along with a good deal of mystery. Salaryman Mamiya (Motoki Ochiai) is unceremoniously dumped by his fiancée. On the advice of a coworker, he uses a dating app to meet someone for a hook-up, who turns out to be a young lady named Aska (Ano, who also has a singing career). Aska commits apparent suicide in Mamiya’s bed, after which he attempts to bury her body in the woods — only to find it missing from the trunk of his car. Director Takamasa Oe crafts a vibe heavy on the unease as an increasingly paranoid Mamiya then encounters many people who are obsessed with Aska’s online life and are doing their best to learn why she hasn’t added new video posts for some time. The world of Whale Bones exists somewhere between the real, surreal, and

Game Review: ‘Lifeless Moon’
The moon is mysterious, true we’ve sent men to it and are planning to go back soon. Mystery awaits humanity but, what if, there’s something there, something man-made? That’s what Lifeless Worlds and Serenity Forge offer players in Lifeless Moon. Lifeless Moon puts players in the boots of an Astronaut on one of the Apollo Moon Missions. While exploring the moon with your crewmate, you discover a rip in space and time that sends you to another world, or are you still on the moon? Now, onto the game itself! when it comes to Lifeless Moon‘s controls, there is not a whole lot as the game is mainly exploration and platforming. One issue that annoyed me to no end while playing was the inventory and notebook mechanic, as from time to time the notebook’s pages seem to glitch. When it comes to the game’s sound, it’s OK but what I liked was the soundtrack even though at times the music
