Sorry for disappearing, I forgot who I was. But we’re back now. I recently saw Hi Man, the film that seems to be taking all my critic peers by storm, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked it. I was familiar with Glen Powell from his work on Scream Queens way […]

I cannot believe we still live in an age where people still hate Catwoman from 2004. In an age where everyone loves camp and having fun, and can look back on the Adam West Batman with nostalgia tinted goggles, we should finally be brave enough to say we love Catwoman. Is this a masterclass in

I will start by getting the obvious out of the way, I think The Lost Boys is a staple of horror. A dark twist to the lost boys from Peter Pan, this group of delinquents who never get older but also have a thirst for blood are main talking points when discussing the modern vampire.

I swore I would never touch this series. Yet, after reading the blowback about Delicate, I felt I had to somewhat defend something about this series. American Horror Story is, despite being one of my least favourite franchises on planet earth, a pretty big chunk of my love of horror. I knew people who worked

I’m at a wedding the day this is scheduled to go up (thank fuck for scheduled posts) and it has me thinking about couples and pairings in general. While this will definitely be one of my shorter essays, I wanted to write something that was pretty positive and happy — call me a romantic, but

I think it is safe to say there are many lovable monster characters in horror. When you think of a ‘lovable’ monster, your brain can default to many things: for most people, you might naturally default to your favourite vampire. The angstier among us might think of a werewolf character. You could be one of

What if I told you a critical darling and a critical redheaded stepchild were more similar than you thought? The horror of hubris is really something that should be explored far more than it is. The story of Icarus and flying too close to the sun is often used in the business of shaming others

This isn’t an essay with a lot of meat on the bone, but it is something positive I wanted to put into the atmosphere, and I wanted to talk about the concept of ‘weirdos in love’. We’ve all seen the meme if we’ve been a goth on the internet for long enough, comparing the love

In horror, there are many archetypes that show up multiple times — the virginal final girl, the intelligent love interest, the bad boy, the pretty girl, flirty best friend, the comic relief, and so on. These tropes are so relevant that they’ve become staples in parodies of horror films; it seems that you can’t have

I’ve spoken about this movie in the past as being one of my favourites, yet I’ve failed to dedicate the time to properly explain why. The Menu is, by no exaggeration, a perfect film. A psychological ‘eat the rich’ film that, despite taking place in a restaurant, does not include literally eating rich people. Instead,
