Habit (1995): Grim Addiction Horror and Creep Fest [Review]

Habit premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1995, later receiving a limited theatrical release in 1997. This independent horror film, written and directed by Larry Fessenden, is an allegory of how addiction (and self-destruction) takes hold of a person, using the framework of vampirism. With one week until Valentine’s Day, it makes for an unconventional seasonal watch: a story centred on a relationship between a troubled man and a woman who may—or may not—be a vampire. Rather than romance, Habit offers intimacy as something corrosive. It presents a one-sided relationship that is unstable and difficult to escape. Though...

Whether you’re a fan of Disney or not, there’s no denying they know how to make movies kids adore — especially when it came to their older films. While most Halloween films lean into psychological scares, slashers, and gore, Disney takes a different route, proving that the supernatural can be playful and funny too, even if it still gives you the occasional jump. So, whether you’re a “Disney Adult” or just looking for something to keep the kids entertained this spooky season, fear not — here’s our list of ’90s Disney Halloween movies to watch this October.

Scream 4 Review: A Relevent Whodunit That Skips On Scares

Confession time: I’m not a diehard Scream fan. I don’t even know if I’ve ever watched the original all the way through. I can barely remember anything about the 2022 reboot/sequel/whatever-that-was.

So this review of Scream 4 comes from a place of near-total isolation—no nostalgia goggles, and very few expectations. I’m looking at SCRE4M pretty much as a standalone movie. I would argue that this gives me a fairer lens through which to watch the film. It’s one that is not coloured by comparisons or expectations from previous films.

In this review, I’ll dig into the film’s themes, how well it works as a horror movie, and what I think it gets right… as well as where it falls flat.

Fear Street: Prom Queen – Sheer Disapointment [Film Review]

Following the hit Fear Street trilogy on Netflix in 2021—hailed by Bloody Disgusting’s Meagan Navarro as “the summer horror event of 2021”—you’d be forgiven for expecting a strong return with the fourth instalment, Fear Street: Prom Queen. However, this movie acts as the antithesis of Leigh Janek’s rip-roaring triumph. As a fan of the franchise, you’ll try your utmost to like this movie. But the onslaught of tedious mean-girl characters, bland narrative, and the garish ’80s references hamfisted into the paltry corsage that is this movie, will leave you regretting going to this party. This review aims to let you...

Lately, I’ve been preparing to become a father. I’ve been digging through my old Informania books—the ones I devoured as a kid. Along with Goosebumps, these were my gateway drug into becoming a lifelong horror addict.

11 Best 90s zombie movies

The 1990s were weird, wild, and packed with zombies. From splatter comedies to gothic gorefests, this decade gave us an undead line-up as chaotic as it was creative. Whether you’re into brain-munching madness or romantic necromancy (yes, really), there’s something for every kind of horror fan here. Here’s our definitive list of the best 90s zombie movies… Dead Alive Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive (1992) is a gloriously deranged splatterpunk horror-comedy that delivers everything a genre fan could want – and somehow does it all incredibly well. Set in the late 1950s, it follows the timid Lionel Cosgrove, whose budding romance...
