Episode 132 – Hellraiser (2022)



David Bruckner’s reboot of the 80s horror staple is a little too rigid, a little too sanitized… and frankly, just doesn’t raise all that much hell. But Jamie Clayton and Odessa A’zion are terrific.

Episode 108 – Scream (2022)



The latest entry in the long-running franchise is not entirely without merit, but enduring all of the “requel” discourse is about as much fun as watching Reddit projected onscreen for 114 minutes.

Episode 68 – The Craft: Legacy



While the film’s message of (trans-inclusive) female empowerment is certainly more enlightened than the “women can’t handle ultimate power” implications of the 1996 original, The Craft: Legacy also loses much of its predecessor’s trashy fun, and doesn’t replace it with much else.

Episode 44 – The Invisible Man

Episode 37 – The Grudge (2020)



There are good remakes of J-horror, and there are bad ones. This one? Well, let’s just say William Sadler’s Detective Wilson may have had the right idea.

Episode 36 – Black Christmas



Did Black Christmas need to be remade? As was the case in 2006, the answer is… probably not.
