What happens when you go from being gonzo suburban kids to D.I.Y. YouTube sensations to the duo responsible for a hip film company’s hugest genre hit? Having already made a name for themselves online under the collective handle RackaRacka, the Australian filmmakers/twin brothers Michael and Danny Philippou didn’t exactly come …

You only need to know three things about the Bring Her Back trailer: Somebody says, “There’s something wrong with Laura.” Somebody else says, “We can bring her back.” And Sally Hawkins’ character (Laura!) seems creepy as hell in the horror movie, masterminded by directors Danny and Michael Philippou (Talk to …

David Cronenberg would like to have a few words with you about death. There have, of course, been an abundance of folks who’ve shuffled off this mortal coil within the Canadian filmmaker’s nearly six decades’ worth of movies, often in the most baroque, grotesque manner possible. (Who could ever forget …

Think back to the single worst date you’ve ever had. You know, the one that started off bad before devolving into Chernobyl-level disaster, and that was less a missed connection than a full-on derailment? It may not have ended in romance, but it would always be a night to remember …

You do not want to read this review of Companion. Trust us. We only say this because writer-director Drew Hancock’s movie relies on more than a few secrets, and even though the film’s trailer more or less gives away a big one, we’re not keen on spoiling them just yeat. …

Inside every man lies a beast, waiting to be unleashed — that’s the central conceit behind most werewolf movies, be they horrifying (The Howling), sexy (the Twilight movies), or occasionally, both (the Jack Nicholson/Michelle Pfeiffer potboiler Wolf). Sometimes this full-moon fever is seen as liberating. Other times it’s a painful …

At the midpoint between Bram Stoker turning a Transylvanian folk tale into a literary touchstone and Bela Lugosi inspiring a million I-vant-to-suck-your-blooood imitations, there was Nosferatu, F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent “symphony of horror” about an eccentric Eastern European named Count Orlok with a taste for Type O. The fact that …
