Obsession is an insidiously terrifying new horror film that follows Bear after he makes an ill-advised, harmful, and desperate wish for his crush, Nikki, to love him more than anything else in the world.

Obsession is timely and unsettlingly so, confronting current-day horrors around the male loneliness epidemic and the ways young men are weaponizing their existence against women.

The Menu is a brilliant, vicious critique of celebrity chef culture. The dark comedy film confronts the absurdity around elite fine dining experiences that have taken the “love out of eating.”

Opus, the debut film of director and former music journalist, Mark Anthony Green intends to critique cultural criticism, celebrity obsession, and the hierarchy of fame. There’s a level of anticipation with Green at the helm, an expectation of truths revealed, insider knowledge shared and no-holds-barred. However, while the film is pretty to look at and has some of the most insane moments of body gore I’ve seen in some time it leaves a lot to be desired.

They Will Kill You is a punchy, gory, and brilliant mess. It was delightfully unexpected, and while at times it certainly feels like “John Wick but with a Badass Black Woman,” that’s not a negative! It is a relentless assault of silly world-building and over-the-top body gore.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a punchy, gore-filled and brutal sequel to a beloved horror classic. After surviving a night of torment at the hands of her brand-new wealthy in-laws, Grace is once again confronted by the sinister, evil antics of the elite as they hunt her down. Only this time, she’s not the only victim as her “emergency contract” and previously forgotten sister, Faith, has been chained (literally) to her.

SGJ has a knack for transforming folkloric monsters we’ve grown accustomed to, twisting them into a new, sympathetic, and terrifying creature; something entirely of his own making. He did this in Mongrels, the sometimes funny, most often dark, familial story about werewolves and ancestry (and one of my favorite SGJ novels). He’s done it again in The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, now with vampires.

Tananarive Due seamlessly weaves vivid, realistic characters with powerful historical influences. True blue horror with high body counts, pulling no punches, and yet with immense care and consideration for her readers, Due is a brilliant storyteller.

gabe reviews two of her books, their blend of horror and reality, and how it leaves them wanting more, more, more! Kae shares about Due’s life, family, and long history of activism.

Kpop Demon Hunters is a magical, vibrant, and gut punching animated film with catchy, thought provoking songs, beloved pop stars, and a lot of character growth. The musical has become a cultural phenomena, taking the charts and our hearts by storm.

Ghouls explore the hunters' battle to not only seal the honmoon but the wounds of their trauma and the world’s around them too.
