The Wolfman Cometh

It’s quite the challenge to try to explain what type of genres filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun has been exploring with their movies. We’re All Going to the World’s Fair appeared to be a story about someone getting wrapped up in online mythology, though it served as a metaphor for gender dysphoria, parasocial relationships, and someone who blurs the lines between the imagination and reality. I Saw the…

I already know what you’re all thinking, which is, “Wolfman, I thought you reviewed horror movies, what the hell are you doing reviewing One Night Only?” My answer to you, strange person talking out loud to your computer, is, “A movie where you can only have sex once a year? Movies don’t get much more horrifying than that!!!! Am I right, ladies?!?!?!” I’d also like to add that I can review…

If you had asked me 20 years ago, “Hey, guy who will at some point in the future be known as Wolfman, do you like Eli Roth?” then my answer probably would have been, “Hell yeah! Cabin Fever?! Hostel?! Those movies rock! Also, I have my whole life ahead of me, surely I won’t waste it writing about horror movies online!” Then, unfortunately, came Hostel Part II and The Green Inferno and Knock Knock…

When thinking about what made the M3GAN franchise such a hit, I’d argue it’s, well, M3GAN herself. After all, if not for her uncanny valley face, her sassy attitude, and creepy dance moves, there’s no way she would have ever become a TikTok sensation before even landing in theaters. Of course, add to the compelling nature of M3GAN was the story of AI taking control over our lives, whether we…

For some reason, I have this feeling that everyone reading this right now is really interested in learning what the best new horror movies are that just got added to Pluto. I can’t quite put my finger on it, it’s just this vibe I’m getting! I could try to do some type of deep dive into how I came to that conclusion, but who’s got the time for that? Instead, I’ll just direct your attention…

Let me guess: you’re on this page right now because you want to know the best new horror movies that just got added to Tubi? Because you like to stream horror but don’t like paying for subscription services? Wow! Who would have guessed it?! Well, I guess I guessed it, but I’m not here to brag! I’m just here to, you know, tell you the best new horror movies that just got added to Tubi! Let me know…

I can’t say I’ve ever really felt much for Anthony Bourdain, positively or negatively. I’m not a foodie (though I occasionally eat “food”), so he largely flew under my radar, even knowing that his whole thing was that he was far from being your average chef and far from being your average host of food shows. What little I did know about him, though, was fascinating, and the few glimpses of No…

Wait, you’re trying to tell me the guy who wrote Odyssey was named HOMER? Like, Homer SIMPSON? Now I’ve heard everything! Okay, but seriously, I know I read Odyssey (or maybe parts of it?) back in high school or whatever, but I can’t say I’ve ever cared about it in any real sense. Not that I’m coming out here to tell Homer that I could have written a story about a dude who absolutely hates his…

Evil Dead Burn has been in theaters for a few days now, so horror fans have been able to process how it compares to the rest of the Evil Dead franchise. Since I’m a horror fan, that means that I have processed my thoughts, as well! My general outlook on the Evil Dead franchise is that, compared to Scream or Paranormal Activity or any other horror franchise out there, I would gladly accept a new…

There’s lots of great streaming services out there, but part of what makes Pluto the greatest is that it’s free. Of course, when I say “great,” that can mean a lot of things, and in this case, it’s definitely the “free” part. Now that the calendar has rolled over into July, Pluto has added a bunch of movies, and if you’re reading this, it’s likely because you’re most interested in its best new…

This might come as a shock for you to read, but relationships can be hard. That’s right, I said it! No matter what kind of relationship it might be and no matter how long it has lasted, everyone deals with obstacles that must be overcome, which could either result in the dissolution of that relationship or an evolution into a new form. Sadly, Olivia Wilde knows this better than anyone else, as…

I’ve never been one to gatekeep; if I like something, I want everyone to watch it, so we can all say, “Wow, this thing rocks!” So when I say, “Remember how I made that video about how good Widow’s Bay is?” it doesn’t come from a place of, “I knew this was good before you did!” so much as, “No, really, did you see it? If not, that’s okay.” My point is, the show started off slow and, with each…

If you’ve been following this blog since the early days (don’t you have better things to do with your time?!) then you might remember just how much I love sharks. You might also remember how, every time I review a shark horror movie, I can’t help but nitpick the science (or lack thereof) on display. Well, if you love Jaws or The Shallows or Beast of War, then I’ve got great news, because those…

Remember how people were obsessed with talking about the Roman Empire recently? I never think about the Roman Empire (or really spend that much time thinking about why anyone would think about the Roman Empire), but heading into seeing The Death of Robin Hood, I couldn’t help but think there was a similar fascination between the two topics. I can say I’ve seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves when I…

If you’re a horror fan, once the temperatures start rising, you start thinking about the most important horror movies to watch during the summer. Of course, you have the more obvious titles like Jaws, the Friday the 13th franchise, the I Know What You Did Last Summer series, or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. What happens when you run out of those, though? Or, like you, you know that most of the…

Filmmaker Rob Zombie hasn’t released a horror movie in a few years, so you’re probably wondering why I felt like now was the time to rank them. That’s honestly a great question, because I have no real reason! What I can tell you, though, is that if you’ve followed this blog or anything I’ve said on social media over the years, you know I have a … “complicated” relationship with his movies. In…
