Best International Horror Movies: A Beginner’s Guide

New DVD release, , , ,
This article is presented by NordVPN.  Fear is the universal language. Terror is, as we have sadly seen so often, a global phenomenon. And monsters inhabit every crevice of this small world, from the deepest recesses of the South Pacific to the most remote peaks of the North Pole. So it should hardly be a surprise that horror films are and have been a component of cinema in just about every country that embraced the art form. Along with love, fear is the most profound human emotion, and any art — especially filmmaking — is the way in which we…

Nicolas Cage Horror Film Color Out of Space to Stream on Shudder

New DVD release, , , , ,
Shudder, AMC Networks’ horror-genre streaming platform, continues to bolster its burgeoning lineup of original content; an endeavor that’s especially prudent as the theatrical distribution pipeline continues to be halted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, its latest cinematic addition, Color Out of Space, brings a unique offering starring Nicolas Cage. The exclusive streaming rights to director Richard Stanley’s extraterrestrial outbreak film, Color Out of Space, along with Frank Sabatella’s vampire-centric The Shed—each a production of RJLE Films—have been acquired by Shudder, which will make the movies available to stream in the U.S. later this year on a date…

Relic: Horror Movie Offers Fresh Twist on Haunted House in New Trailer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In times such as these, it can already be unnerving to know we shouldn’t leave the house. Perhaps that’s why it’s the perfect (or scariest?) time for a movie where the horror is within the home. Indeed, the original subject du jour of campfire yarns everywhere—a haunted house ghost story—is getting an intriguing new entry via Natalie Erika James’ Relic. The film, which made waves in January at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, appears to be steeped in the Gothic tradition of journeying into the unknown and an undead past. That at least is what it might seem like to…

The children suffer from a rare disease that…

How Shudder’s Cursed Films Explores the Most Troubled Horror Movies Ever

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Some movies are born bad. Poltergeist, The Omen, The Exorcist; these are iconic horror films with reputations of misfortune and mishap. Either due to a series of grim coincidences that form a pattern or one or two notable tragedies, a handful of films are said to have near-evil legacies. Maybe it really is as Shirley Jackson mused in The Haunting of Hill House? If some spots attach to themselves an atmosphere of goodness, “It might not then be too fanciful to say some houses are born bad.” So why not movies too? Within horror films, curses are caused by the…

Saint Maud Review: Elevated Horror That’s a Revelation

New DVD release, , , ,
If God exists then so must The Devil in Rose Glass’ stunning debut Saint Maud which sees a pious young nurse who experiences beatific visions become obsessed with saving the soul of her dying patient Amanda (Jennifer Ehle). Saint Maud is a strange, gorgeous, and deeply disturbing chiller which mixes psychological, religious, and body horror to form something that feels utterly original. Very definitely a genre movie, this is “elevated” horror that messes with your perceptions of what’s real and what isn’t and comes with an ending that’s so simultaneously euphoric and horrific it feels like a punch in the heart.…

How Jason Blum Changed Horror Movies

New DVD release, , ,
“I look at myself more as an entrepreneur than a producer,” Jason Blum tells Den of Geek ahead of the release of his latest buzzy horror movie. That film, The Invisible Man has already scooped an impressive $29 million opening weekend off a budget of $7 million as well as widespread critical success (check out our four star review, the movie is currently at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes).  It’s hard to deny that as an entrepreneur, Blum is a bloody good one. It’s been 20 years (“depending on where you start,” Blum clarifies) since his company Blumhouse Productions arrived to…

American Horror Story: Cult

New DVD release, ,
Rent It The Season:Part of what elevates installments in the horror genre from being scary to being legitimately good comes in how it reflects upon the monstrosities of humanity itself, how it makes the ugly side of people into something tangible. Unless it's a story based on real events, that sort of commentary typically gets concealed within metaphors and symbolism, creating some breathing room between the enjoyment of the horror from the real-world details of what it sets out to critique, whether it's personal ailments like psychological disorders and sexually-transmitted infections or more social concerns like racism and xenophobia. The…
