Quentin Tarantino, 2023. © Courtesy Everett Collection Quentin Tarantino is nothing if not an outspoken cinephile with opinions on almost everything. Tarantino is quick to heap praise on the features and filmmakers he loves. But he is equally eager to speak to his disdain for those he doesn’t. This time around, the director isn’t discussing

Before Paramount+, there was CBS All Access. Cue sad trombone music. If you haven’t heard of CBS All Access, you’re definitely not alone. The mucky mucks at Viacom eventually realized that branding their streaming arm CBS All Access was a bad marketing move and renamed the service Paramount+. I think branding the streaming service CBS

I’d never have guessed it, but it looks as if Bloober Team’s remake of Konami’s Silent Hill 2 is actually good. As arguably the bedrock for modern survival horror, I was reasonably skeptical about the idea of updating James, Mary, Pyramid Head, and the bulk of the titular town with modern gameplay mechanics. I was

2020 was a tough year for everyone, Quentin Tarantino included. The decorated director was not particularly impressed with the cinematic offerings that bowed during the height of the Covid pandemic. However, the output of that year wasn’t a total bust for him. When the Kill Bill helmer sat down with The Big Picture to discuss

Stephen King in 1999. ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection One of my favorite (former) Portland DJs Tara Dublin recently captured the attention of celebrated author Stephen King with one of her helpful tweets.

Against all odds, Terrifier 3 topped the weekend box office, snagging an estimated $21.5 million over the four-day weekend of its release. The

There were a lot of really fantastic horror movies released in 2020 that were easily missed. With the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering most theaters, studios and distributors had slates full of movies they needed to do something with. Some, like David Prior’s The Empty Man, were unceremoniously (and contractually) dumped in theaters, while others like Natalie

Stephen King and Mike Flanagan / photos by Josh Korngut Carrie is one of Stephen King’s most adapted stories to date. We have De Palma’s Carrie, The Rage: Carrie 2, the made for TV adaptation from 2002, and the 2013 remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz. So, I was a little surprised to learn (via Deadline)

The second day of Nightmares Film Festival 2024 kicked off at Ohio’s Gateway Film Center with one of the annual “Recurring Nightmares” block of shorts.

Day Three of Nightmares Film Festival 2024 kicked off at Gateway Film Center with a screening of the wild comedy The Invisible Raptor.

Filmmaker Parker Finn returns to deliver a fun, mean, and maddeningly inventive sequel to his surprise 2022 genre hit Smile.
