Short-Film Reviews: The Strange Monster at the Rivera House, Pare, Into the Silver Ether, and Crazy Mel’s Auto Emporium (Nitehawk Shorts Festival 2022)

The Strange Monster at the Rivera House In this Puerto Rican horror short, neighbors of a woman (Aidita Encarnación) are desperate to communicate with — or through — a mysterious presence in her garage. Writer/director Estaban Bailey has crafted a chilling work that takes place during a hot summer day — not a usual setting for a horror tale, but this enigmatic short is no usual tale. Well acted and eerie, The Strange Monster at the Rivera House (El Extraño en La Casa Rivera) is a nifty slice of short-shock cinema Pare Writer/director Lauren Sick’s Pare is a terrific Christmas-set chiller in which a young woman (Dana Drori) comes across a blood-stained jacket that looks suspiciously like one that belongs to her husband. Matters only get stranger — and decidedly creepier — from there. Sick builds the mystery and tension masterfully, assisted by a superb performance from Dori, whose facial expressions are fantastic. This short is open to interpretation, and

Horror Characters That Future Mortal Kombat Games Should Introduce

In recent years, the Mortal Kombat series has made headlines for bolstering its already frightening roster of fighters with crossover characters from other gaming and movie genres. Due to Mortal Kombat’s gore-soaked and ultra-violent nature, the best appearances tend to come from horror or action films. In recent years, players have seen Freddy Krueger, the Terminator, and even the xenomorph from Alien maim and mutilate their way into the legendary combat series. Professional eSport While competitive Mortal Kombat has been a fixture of the iGaming market since the late 1990s, it truly took off in a big way in 2011 with the release of its newest installment.
