  “What's more disgusting than a pile of 100 dead babies? One live one on the bottom eating its way out.” Guerrilla filmmaking is at its finest in this 80s’ teenage cannibal flick! “Cannibal Campout” is a cheap horror film that follows a group of teens being terrorized by a group of 3 cannibals, who they had two separate chances to totally avoid, but if they did that we wouldn’t have a movie would we. Within the first 10 minutes, we are introduced to our pretty uninteresting main characters, and we’re told that one dead baby joke every dude says to prove his “edgy” sense of humor. The group of teens is warned of people who recently went missing in the area they are headed, and even have a run in with the three cannibals, but still are adamant on having a good camping trip.  This movie was filmed guerrilla style so no permits were actually received and the director/main character had to make sure none of the cast was shot by a confused officer. From what we can assume, all ...

“ The Machine girl,” a 2008 film, not to be confused with Machine Girl the musical artist, is an intense Japanese horror comedy directed by Noboru Iguchi. Despite its middling reviews, it gained quite the following. To me, the idea of a girl with a machine gun arm is pretty sick, and Ash WIlliams-esque, so despite poor reviews I had high hopes for this movie. Ami, our main character, is a regular two-armed girl, until one day her brother is found dead on the sidewalk along with his friend. After discovering her brother was a victim of the murderous son of a brutal ninja-yakuza family, she decides violence is the only possible option. She enacts her brutal revenge plan, losing an arm on the way, but luckily finding a guy who makes her the sickest robotic arm known to man. Ami is engrossed in a bloody world of drill bras, a weapon that rips people's heads off like a claw machine picking up a stuffed animal, and a brief appearance chainsaw leg. She’s not the innocent high school g...

In a world full of celebrity obsession, how far would you go to be close to your idol? Would you go so far as injecting yourself with the same viruses or diseases as them, or maybe eating meat made from their regrown cells? The movie Antiviral directed by Brandon Cronenberg, the son of the talented horror director, David Cronenberg, explores this idea in an interesting and bloody way.  Antiviral follows a young man named Syd March, played by Caleb Landry Jones, who is employed at a company called The Lucas Clinic. This clinic he works for is focused on taking viruses and other bugs from celebrities who have fallen ill in order to inject them into fans. Fans do this as a way to feel more connected with their favorite celebrity. However, the clinic must not pay well, as we see that Syd is injecting himself with the viruses secretly, using his body as an incubator in order to sell the viruses on the black market. He brings the viruses to Arvid, an employee of astral bodies, which is a...

When it comes to horror, a lot of people tend to think about Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, or maybe Ghostface. Maybe you’ve never watched these movies, or maybe you even hate horror, but nonetheless the names are known by almost everyone. Horror movies have always been a big thing, no matter how controversial. Throughout the many years of the Oscars, only six horror films have ever been nominated for best picture, Silence of the Lambs being the only one to ever actually win. Many people argue over this movie being wrongly labeled as a horror, and instead saying it should be classified as a thriller. Though it seems that if any horror movie gets awarded an Oscar, people seem to argue for it to be labeled as a thriller or, by a newer term, elevated horror. Elevated Horror is a newer term to refer to movies in which they are more dramatic and intelligent than most horrors. Now, the term Elevated Horror caused a stir amongst horror fans, as most people have used it as a way to put down ...

A woman, a wolf, and two pigs, are what make up this animated fairytale, made to induct new followers into a cult. La Casa Lobo, released in 2018 and directed by Cristobal León and Joaquín Cociña, is a terrific Claymation horror film, similar to the works of Jan Švankmajer, who uses fairytale elements to add to the horror and unsettling atmosphere.  The story starts with footage explaining how what we are about to watch is made for a specific colony in Chile that is known for its honey. They explain how the colony is good-natured and rumors have been created about them due to ignorance. After, it cuts to a film made by the colony to, “dispel the horrible rumors,” according to the movie. It starts with our main character, Maria, who has escaped from a colony in Chile after being punished for releasing some of the colony's pigs. She arrives at a strange-looking house, where she is greeted by two pigs, who are the only inhabitants and who end up morphing into her children. Now, for so...

  My heart can’t beat unless you tell it to is a slow-burn Indie horror film that doubles as a family drama. Directed by Jonathan Cuartas and starring Patrick Fugit, Owen Campbell, and Ingrid Sophie Schram, the movie follows two siblings caring for their younger brother who has a strange, unexplained illness. It’s a psychological horror that viewers seem to either love or hate; I for one, love it. The movie starts with a quick kill within the first five minutes, letting viewers know the horror that the audience will endure. The audience learns that a young boy, Thomas, is being taken care of by his older siblings, Dwight and Jessie, as he is troubled by an unknown illness. Although what he’s suffering from is never named, the viewer knows he can’t be out during the daytime, and he has to consume human blood in order to survive. How this came to be is unknown, but I think some things are better left that way. His siblings provide him with blood daily, killing off people whom society...
