Game Review: ‘Stray Blade’
Souls games are known for being tough, gritty, and dark. 505 Games and Point Blank Games have challenged the Souls game genre with Stray Blade, how does it stack up with some other Souls games? Stray Blade follows an adventurer named Farren who while on an adventure has now found themselves in an unfamiliar world he must explore with his otherworldly companion Boji while fighting off enemies that are pursuing them on their adventure. Now onto the game itself! The controls for Stray Blade are a touch confusing at first I’ll admit but having access to review the control scheme and having a tutorial helps. I don’t know if I just suck at my timing but I feel that the parry button is broken, no matter how much I time it I can’t parry but thankfully the dodge button works! Stray Blade‘s sound design will need some tweaking when you first play depending on where you have the sound coming

Game Review: ‘Ravenlok’
Cococucumber is an indie game studio that’s been making a splash in the ocean of game development with its interesting titles. I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to experience their latest title, Ravenlok. I would like to thank Cococucumber for letting me take a trip through the looking glass with this one. Ravenlok is a Voxel art-style game in the third person where players take on the role of a girl who is brought into a magical world where a prophecy foretold her intervention and bringing peace back to the dark lands that are becoming corrupted by an evil queen. Now onto the game itself. The controls for Ravenlok are surprisingly minimal but satisfyingly simple. The game responds well to a controller (which is suggested for use for PC players, I know, clutch the pearls PC folks.). The game’s soundtrack actually has quite a chill vibe to it, I love how the level song changes its intensity depending

Actor, Activist, And Author Chaz Bono Talks Horror & More In Our Interview
Actor, producer, writer, and activist Chaz Bono stars in the new horror film Bury the Bride. We sat down to discuss Bury the Bride and his roles in “American Horror Story.” We also got serious and discussed the current struggle that the trans community is facing in America now. In Bury the Bride, “Bride-to-be, June’s bachelorette getaway turns deadly when her blood-thirsty fiancé and his backwoods friends show up to crash the party. What follows becomes a living nightmare of unholy proportions as June, her sister Sadie and their closest friends fight for their lives and avenge the ones who don’t make it through the night.” Besides working in the film industry, Bono, a New York Best-Selling author, penned the books Transition: Becoming Who I Was Always Meant to Be and Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man (click the highlighted) title to buy).

Spoiler-Free Reviews: MINORE and ABRUPTIO (Fantaspoa 2023)
MINORE In director Konstantinos Koutsoliotas’ Minore (Greece, 2023), sailor William (Davide Tucci) comes to a small Greek coastal town while on shore leave, searching for someone who has been missing from his life. He befriends tavern server Aliki (Daphne Alexander), and soon the pair must join forces with the rest of the townspeople to battle against strange creatures coming from the sea. This is a winning horror comedy with a strong Lovecraftian vibe. It boasts a sizable cast whose members all give fine performances, and the characters — the screenplay is by Koutsoliotas and Elizabeth E. Schuch (The Book of Birdie) — are written so well and in such an endearing manner that viewers will want all of them to survive the invasion. That’s a rarity in horror and horror comedies recently, with so many unlikable characters in many movies of late with no one to really root for. The creatures look pretty cool and get plenty of screen time

Movie Review: ‘The Black Demon’ (2023)
Before we dive into the movie review, I think it is important that I tell you about the legend of El Demonio Negro, The Black Demon. It has been said that the massive beast, which has a black top half, is between 30 and 50 feet long, leaving some convinced that it is, in reality, a surviving Megladon. There have been many reports and sightings of the beast throughout the Sea of Cortez near Mexico for decades. The film takes inspiration from the Black Demon’s legend and supersizes it. Warning Spoilers ahead. Josh Lucus stars as a father on a work/vacation with his family. He’s tasked with the job of inspecting an oil rig. But he and his family find themselves trapped on the rusty rig by a massive shark with the Rig’s two remaining employees. They must fight to survive and find a way to escape. Throughout the movie, details emerge about just how big of an asshole Lucus’

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in Cracked, a terrifying new Thai horror film, an inherited painting may be worth a thousand screams… “Ruja (actress/model Chayanit Chansangavej) returns to Thailand from New York with her young daughter Rachel to settle her late father’s estate.
