Content Re-creator - Maddwolf Faces of Death by George Wolf It’s almost quaint now to remember the word-of-mouth infamy achieved by the original Faces of Death in 1978. By the mid-80s it was a cult favorite at the video store, wit...

With Faces of Death, writer/director Daniel Goldhaber “smartly brings that pre-viral legend into the internet age, tucking the bloody hunt for a serial killer inside the dulling nature of modern-day voyeuristic fetishes.”

When Sorrow Comes - Maddwolf Hamlet by Hope Madden Filmmaker Aneil Karia concerns himself with the curious, sometimes questionable responses of individual men to escalating tensions. After 2020’s Surge followed a remarkable Ben W...

In this latest take on Hamlet, “Reconsidering the cultural background within a South Asian culture doesn’t just freshen up the familiar. It impresses the universality and timelessness of the original work.”

“For all the film’s erratic plotting and odd digressions—including an HR nightmare of an office subplot, parents beware—the animation is so singular and captivating that it makes up for everything else.” Matt Weiner has our review of Cha0:

I love the new use of microphones, it really helps hear you better without adjusting the volume! Now as for who would ruin good pizza by putting pineapple on it no thank you!

"It’s also a stark reminder of what happens when we don’t just forget the past but idealize it." Our Rachel Willis reviews Two Prosecutors, opening this week:

Faces Of Death 2024 Review: A Smarter, Nastier Remake For The Attention Economy - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Daniel Goldhaber remakes Faces of Death the notorious 1978 shock film into a tense serial killer thriller about content moderation and our numb, scrolling eyes.

A still from They Will Kill Kill You movie with the lead actor jumping into frame with what looks like a burning axe rasied above her head with furnatature flying around the room

Kirill Sokolov proves his instinct for bloody action is unmatched. Zazie Beetz leads a satanic highrise nightmare in They Will Kill You. Frenetic pacing, arterial humour, and pure chaos. A must-watch for action horror fans. 🩸🔪

Forbidden Fruits Review: Mall Culture Meets Coven Chaos - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Lili Reinhart leads a coven in a sharp horror comedy about mall culture, patriarchy, and self-actualization. Read our Forbidden Fruits review.

Forbidden Fruits uses mall culture and witchcraft to stage a sharp argument about girl power, control, and self-actualisation. A sly, sardonic horror comedy worth your time. Review here:

So let me finish tonight’s #OSCARPredictions2026 w/ #Sound Another category where all the nominees are really good, but I think this one goes to #Frankenstein perhaps an unusual choice but the sound in #Frankenstein told so much of the mood of the story and locations that I feel it is going to win!

Okay next #OSCARPrediction2026 should be #BestScore this is a tough category I think #Bugonia #Frankenstein & #Sinners are all battling for the top spot, among these I’d have to say #Sinners will win, keeps getting mentioned for it’s impressive music that develops the character &story so much #Fun
