Is Return to Silent Hill Good? My Full Review

Posted on by

For as long as I can remember, the foggy, dilapidated streets of Silent Hill have occupied a significant corner of my mind. I am a lifelong fan of the franchise; I’ve survived the pixelated horrors of the PlayStation original and dove deep into the psychological abyss of Silent Hill 2.

It is a spectacular return to form, and my expectations for the franchise have never been higher. When I sat down to watch the latest cinematic offering, Return to Silent Hill, I was cautiously optimistic. Could a new movie live up to the legacy?

I am thrilled to say that it did.

Everything You Need to Know About the New Voodoo Horror Film ‘Bad Voodoo’

Posted on by

If there is one cardinal rule in horror cinema, it’s this: never break into a quiet house in the middle of nowhere. You aren’t going to find a stash of untraceable cash; you’re going to find a portal to hell or a family with a very specific, very terrifying hobby.

In Bad Voodoo, released this February via DeskPop Entertainment, two escaped convicts learn this lesson the hard way. What starts as a gritty crime thriller quickly spirals into a supernatural nightmare that proves some chains are impossible to break.

One, Two, This Book’s For You: The Elm Street Legacy

Posted on by

If you are a horror fan, you probably know the title Never Sleep Again. It’s the name of the definitive, four-hour documentary that chronicles the entire A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. But if you think you know the whole story just because you’ve seen the doc, think again.

Released in time with the film’s 40th anniversary, this book isn’t just a transcript of the documentary—it is a surgical deep-dive into the making of the 1984 classic that started it all.
