Death Do Us Part - Maddwolf Over Your Dead Body by George Wolf Why would Jason Segel plot to kill Samara Weaving? Has he not seen Ready or Not? Borderline? Azreal? Ready or Not 2? Segel is surely smart enough to play nice, but D...

Walk Like an Egyptian - Maddwolf Lee Cronin’s The Mummy by Hope Madden So, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. You may be wondering, who is Lee Cronin? Do I even know that guy? You probably do, if you saw 2023’sEvil Dead Rise, the story of a fam...

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy “is very much an R-rated horror, at times taking itself too seriously and at others, delivering some of the nastiest comic gags you’ve ever seen during a funeral. I was unsettled at times and grossed out at others, but I must say, I was thoroughly entertained.”

A Fish Called ChaO - Maddwolf ChaO by Matt Weiner If you’re boycotting a certain mustachioed plumber this weekend because he went to space instead of the underwater levels, you’re in luck. You can have your own lushly drawn animated movie where an everyman hero goes on an adventure with a princess.

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.”

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. 🩸🔪
