Ghabe (2019)
Think racism is only an issue in this country? Monir has just arrived to Sweden from a war-torn middle eastern country together with his older cousin Farid.

SLASHER MONTH: The Toolbox Murders (1977)
Not only does this movie excite me because it’s a slasher and a Cameron Mitchell movie, but it’s also a “based on a true story” riff, which is always fascinating. Los Angeles producer Tony Didio wanted to make a low-budget horror film after seeing how well The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. He knew the film’s […]

SLASHER MONTH: Witchboard (1986)
Back before Hasbro — who now owns Parker Brothers — bought the rights to Ouija and turned it into a movie, it was the kind of game that inspired the possession in The Exorcist as well as turning up in films like Don’t Panic and Spookies. I was warned often as a kid to never play with it as […]
