While probably best known for portraying Mickey Haller in the Netflix original series The Lincoln Lawyer (co-starring horror icon Neve Campbell!), Mexican actor and rising star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo first caught the attention of horror fans with his appearance in the From Dusk Til Dawn series. It was short lived but it was worth the watch.

According to writer/director Michael Goi, Megan Is Missing began life as an admonition about the dangers of online predators. I can see an argument for that. It’s certainly an eye-opening film that pulls no punches. But, it’s also a lot to take in. In the years since its 2011 release, the film has become something
Thanksgiving is almost here, dear reader. Though we don’t eat animal flesh, my husband and I still enjoy cooking some of our favorite side dishes and spending the day connecting. Plus, it’s nice to have the chance to take a long weekend and escape from the hustle and bustle. I think we might even make
My grandpa Dave was an incredible guy. He was one of those people who never met someone he didn’t like. Dave had a smile for everyone and a warmth that radiated. He died way too young and that left a hole in my heart that still hasn’t fully healed. One of the things I remember
With so many streaming services available today, it can be extra challenging to track down something worthwhile to watch. There’s so much checking out, especially in the horror space, that it can regularly feel overwhelming. For me, it’s especially hard to stay up-to-date, and if I miss something at the time of release, it’s almost
Just when this year felt like it couldn’t get any worse, we lost genre icon Tony Todd unexpectedly. The Candyman himself shaped the horror genre with each of his iconic performances, and that legacy extends into now, with the upcoming release of Nicholas Gyeney’s supernatural thriller The Activated Man. The film marks Todd’s final lead role,

2024 has dropped so many new horror movies that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially now that most are hitting streamers so fast and furious. Peacock added Twisters on November 15, and before most of us had a chance to log in, many other movies also appeared on the usual suspects. Smile 2, Trapped Inn,
Quentin Tarantino, 2007. ©Weinstein Company LLC/Courtesy Everett Collection Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed a legendary career since breaking into Hollywood with Reservoir Dogs. He’s swept at both the Oscars and the Golden Globes. But his success is no accident. A lot of it comes down to smart choices and saying ‘no’ a lot. When studios have
Stoner horror was everywhere in the 1990s. It was a sign of the times, and there’s something uniquely endearing about a classic piece of late ‘90s teen horror. Not to sound too old, but it was a simpler time, at least cosmetically, and there’s comfort in the familiarity. One of the strongest releases was Rodman
Have you checked out MadS yet? David Moreau’s French zombie masterpiece (really) is the shot of adrenaline the horror subgenre has needed for years in a post (kind of) The Walking Dead world. I know we all remember the 2010s. Zombies, or the undead, or the living dead, or some infected variant therein were everywhere.
Martin Scorsese is a master of cinema, not only in his own filmmaking output, but in his support of indie cinema across genres and decades. And he proved that in a recent interview with the Associated Press (AP). When asked about what films he’s liked recently, he named Jane Schoenbrun’s queer masterpiece I Saw The
Come the end of the year, I’m going to have the hardest time whittling down my Top 10 list. I loved The First Omen and maintain it’s the best franchise horror movie of the past decade. Longlegs lived up to the hype, and Oddity, oh, Oddity—that’s real scary stuff. The frontrunner, however, is likely Jane
The Halloween season is officially over. As we know, the mainstream has closed that chapter for the year and moved on to Hallmark Channel original Christmas movies. But the truly dedicated among us are still watching genre fare. You know who you are. Not only are die-hard horror fans still watching genre pictures, they are
Courtesy of ‘Eli Roth’s History of Horror’ – AMC We share many Stephen King recommendations here at Dread Central. The beloved author is well-known to fans for watching movies and TV and sharing his honest thoughts via social media. On that note, I recently came across one of King’s tweets championing The Stranger, a show based on
Few things scare me as much as spiders do. I know they’re an ecological keystone, a necessary evil in natural pest control, but they’re small, fuzzy, and generally untrustworthy. It doesn’t matter that most species aren’t venomous. I’m liable to keel over in terror before they even get the chance to strike. Naturally, spider horror
Courtesy of Good Morning America on ABC Nosferatu is undoubtedly my most-anticipated horror movie of the year. While The Lighthouse left me floating aimlessly in a dark sea, I’ve been supremely impressed with Robert Eggers’ filmography thus far (yes, including The Northman). More importantly, I simply love a good vampire story. This year’s long-delayed Salem’s

Guillermo del Toro is a cinematic powerhouse whose films always reach a wide audience. But he understands not everyone can be so fortunate. Because del Toro is a considerate guy, he runs a recurring series on social media called ‘Righting a Wrong.’ Via this segment, del Toro defends a film that was unduly maligned by
If you’re from a certain generation, you grew up with Jenni “JWoww” Farley on your TV. One of the main cast members of iconic reality show Jersey Shore, she gained a reputation for drinking, fighting, and speaking her mind. Now, Farley is taking her experience in front of the camera and channeling that into her
Last month, I had the pleasure to attend a film shoot for a local indie horror feature, smack dab in the middle of Central Texas, my neck of the woods. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on any set, let alone a horror one, so this was an opportunity I wouldn’t allow myself to pass
Sometimes, when things aren’t going quite right in a relationship, a vacation or weekend away feels like the best method to reset and reconnect with your partner. Nothing better than getting away from work and other distractions, right? Well, in writer and director Justin Geldzahler’s directorial debut Glue Trap, that couldn’t be further from the
New artwork and a trailer have been revealed for MUBI’s upcoming The Girl With the Needle, directed by Magnus von Horn. Von Horn is a promising filmmaker and a Polish National Film School graduate whose previous films The Here After and Sweat were award-winning and well-received critically. His films often explore themes of isolation, criminality, and murder. With his next
Addison Rae, 2023. © TriStar Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection I’ve not historically been a big fan of Eli Roth. His films are often sophomoric and the humor doesn’t always land for me. However, the Cabin Fever director’s latest picture, Thanksgiving, shows a different side of the filmmaker. A more mature version, perhaps. I enjoyed
Chris Pine, Denzel Washington, 2010, ph: Robert Zuckerman/TM and Copyright ©20th Century Fox Film Corp. All rights reserved./courtesy Everett Collection I’ve never met someone who dislikes Denzel Washington. And I hope such a person doesn’t exist. The actor has an unmatched level of appeal. In fact, he may be the most beloved thespian of our
Perdita Weeks, 2014. ©Universal Pictures/courtesy Everett Collection I have always felt that critics were dead wrong about As Above, So Below. It’s an intense and inventive spin on the found footage genre. It’s like National Treasure: Book of Shadows. See what I did there? I dig the film so much that I previously championed it
If you’re a fan on Wes Craven’s underrated airplane thriller Red Eye, then you need to add Bo Youngblood’s In Flight onto your weekend watchlist. Directed and produced by Youngblood, the film follows a woman who wakes up on a plane with no idea how she got there. What follows is a tense thrill ride
Time travel is all the rage these days. Maybe it’s because the present moment feels so… not great? Time travel is an angle, and today, it’s one of the key distinguishing elements that can successfully set a slasher movie apart. Not to go full Roger Ebert, but he was correct, broadly, when he noted a
Narrowing down the scariest movie of any given year is incredibly challenging. This year alone, I was chilled to the bone by Nicholas Cage’s turn in Oz Perkins’ Longlegs, and Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen yielded some of the most frightening, indelible horror imagery I’ve seen in years. Exhuma was another sensational addition to the
Damien Mc Carthy’s Oddity stunned the world when it premiered at this year’s SXSW film festival. Here at Dread Central, we couldn’t get enough of the film, writing in our four-star review, “This is a pitch-perfect tale about supernatural revenge, gross men, and freaky wooden men. Prepare to be scared.” Oddity did indeed scare, so
