Fried Barry director Ryan Kruger gives a new spin on the 1987 cult classic Street Trash, relocating the melt madness to Cape Town, South Africa, where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it. But Kruger will be the first to eschew the “remake” label, referring to his new film as a standalone sequel. The filmmaker wrote Street Trash to be accessible for newcomers, while slyly referencing details and events from the original to make this new movie a continuation of the goopy, melty world introduced by director Jim Muro in 1987. Kruger took painstaking measures to…

Last Updated on March 16, 2024 by Angel Melanson Happy Friday the 13th, Fangorians!

Popcorn bucket technology has truly come a long way in the past few years. As movie theaters have tried to find clever ways to get patrons to spend more money, they have cooked up increasingly insane vessels from which to eat buttery popped kernels of goodness. Well, the folks at Cinemark have unveiled the popcorn bucket that will be released in honor of this summer’s Alien: Romulus and it is truly something to behold. Don’t believe me? Have a look-see for yourself. Coming soon to theatres 👀🍿 #AlienRomulus pic.twitter.com/Tl8pev0jKU — Cinemark Theatres (@Cinemark) July 17, 2024 So yeah, much to…
How did you first hear about the case of Jeannette DePalma? It was entirely coincidental. I was making a film “Jessie” about a girl being chased in the woods by a killer. I ended up working on the film in Springfield, New Jersey, and then took a break and got lost in the Watchung reservation woods. My friend Ed told me about satanic sacrifices of dead animals that hang in the trees and how he always got spooked as a kid on Halloween because something happened in the woods to this girl and she died. So that night I…
So much of the beauty and power of horror is in the language the genre gives us to navigate the darker, more painful aspects of human existence. Obviously, this has never been limited to horror films. Michael Jackson changed the music industry in 1982 when he embraced the music video as a cinematic form. He hired the director of An American Werewolf in London to help him make a postmodern horror short, and unleashed “Thriller” upon the world. Visionary that he was, he also transformed the relationship between horror and pop music. With influence taken from ‘50s monster movies, Jackson tapped into…

I love a good self-contained thriller. So, Bruce Goodison’s new film Black Cab, which is primarily set in the back of a taxi, stood out to me from the moment it came onto my radar. Furthering my excitement, the picture stars Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead). I had high expectations going in. But I came away viewing the film as a mixed bag. Frost’s performance is excellent, and the film’s themes of regret and parental bonds are explored to some degree of success. However, the pacing drags and the narrative is often convoluted. What is Black Cab about? The flick follows volatile couple…
Bleeker Hill by Russell Mardell – Book ReviewAt first glance, the cover of Bleeker Hill might lead you to believe it’s just another book you could pick up at Tesco, but don’t let appearances deceive you. This novel is a remarkable entry in the realm of self-publishing, and it deserves recognition for breaking the stereotypes associated with it. I was genuinely surprised to learn that it was self-published only after I had finished reading it, as the quality of the work speaks for itself.What truly elevates a book is not just its production values but the story it tells.Thankfully, Russell…
