I’m not really sure how I’ve managed to remain ignorant to the existence of of ‘Kuso’, the surreal and seemingly batshit insane horror film from Los Angeles based beatmaker and first time director Steve “Flying Lotus” Ellison, for so goddamn long. But the star-studded flick, which finds FlyLo following in[…]
If you only see two American indie features co-starring Satan this year… One should obviously be ‘The VVitch’. The other almost certainly will turn out to be ‘The Alchemist Cookbook’. Seriously, this looks absolutely in-fucking-credible! The Joel Potrykus directed film starring Ty Hickson is out this week via Oscilloscope Laboratories.[…]
Witchcraft is just a way of concentrating energy. You can only work with what’s already there. I just use sex magic to make love magic. No, that’s not a quote from one of my Monday Magick posts, it’s a line from writer/director Anna Biller’s new film ‘The Love Witch’. Set[…]
I literally sat here with my jaw hanging open in shock and amazement while watching the new trailer for the forthcoming cinematic adaption of Marvel Comics’ ‘Doctor Strange’. Everything looks absolutely fucking incredible, and the fact that one of the taglines used in the trailer is “change your reality” made[…]
When ‘Cloverfield’ stomped onto movie theatre screens in 2008 it was a pretty big deal to me and my friend. There was a good deal of speculation about the film—which was written by Drew Goddard, directed by Matt Reeves, and produced by J. J. Abrams—fueled by a groundbreaking viral marketing[…]
New York-based producer Nick Koenig, also known as Hot Sugar, works primarily within the musique concrète milieu, manipulating recorded sounds to create his own original, often beautiful, Hip-Hop-influenced compositions. After releasing several EP’s and mixtapes, and contributing production for artists as diverse as Open Mike Eagle, Lakutis, Antwon, and The[…]
‘Hell and Back’, a new R-rated stop-motion animated comedy/horror flick from ShadowMachine (the studio behind ‘BoJack Horseman’ and several Adult Swim shows) looks kinda like ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’ if it were made by those ‘Robot Chicken’ dudes*. My ticket is already bought! Or, it would be if it were[…]
Creepy little girl with supernatural powers? Check. Weird doctor/social worker to make you feel uncomfortable? Check. Freaky hooded cultists? Check. Available on DVD, VOD, and streaming services like Hulu on October 6th? I’ll be there. ‘June’
Turkish witch-cult flick ‘Baskin’ had its world premier at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday and people are saying some really good things about it. I have no idea what Can Evrenol’s debut feature is really all about, but you know if you throw some goat-headed motherfuckers in your movie[…]
I’ve made no secret about the fact that I don’t care for Christmas. This year the Holiday Season brings me and people like me a special gift in the form of horror/comedy ‘Krampus’! The yuletide slaughter, starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Stefania Lavie Owen[…]
This is the droid you’re looking for. Or so says this video clip advertising an app-enabled remote control toy version of BB-8, the soccer-ball-like droid from the forthcoming film ‘Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens’. He costs way more than I can currently afford, but this dude is cute[…]
Writer/Director Robert Eggers’ ‘The Witch’ built a significant buzz at the last Sundance Film Festival and I’ve been dying to see it ever since. After a lengthy wait, the tale of occult horror set in the woodlands of colonial era New England is finally coming to theaters some time within[…]
