Southbound Quick Impressions (AUDIO)

The new horror anthology Southbound is weird, messy, and highly entertaining, living up to the legacy of the original V/H/S. I recorded some quick thoughts on the film directly after watching it. A full review will be posted soon!

The Purge franchise proves you can make great sequels to a bad movie

When The Purge hit theaters in 2013, it became nothing short of a cultural phenomenon, inspiring countless parodies and online discussions about how one might survive a real-life Purge scenario.

The Final Girls has nothing new to say about slasher movies

The slasher genre has been ruthlessly mocked for years, and so if you want to spoof it, you really have to bring something new to the table. Just pointing out the tropes isn’t enough anymore. The Cabin in the Woods was something fresh because it justified genre cliches with a massive conspiracy, and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil…
