Ari Aster has Mommy Issues

I wonder if Ari Aster was breastfed. If I use what I learnt in my freshman ‘Intro to Psych’ class, I would venture to guess that he probably never properly latched. Themes of a fractured mother-child dynamic is a thread that connects all of his movies, so I wanted to further psychoanalyze the cinematic therapy sessions he keeps turning into A24 box office bait. His latest fever dream, Eddington, d

Ishika: Nah but I think he also had daddy issues coz there's no way he let his dad watch The Strange Thing About the Johnsons.

Safe Is the Best Movie You've Never Seen

Don't worry, I'd never heard of Safe either. A few months ago, a character from the movie, Lester, was the Peliplat profile picture of none other than Jenn the Editor. I asked her what movie her picture was from. When she told me, I played it off like I totally knew what she was talking about. It's an unwritten code that all cinephiles must be familiar with all movies that have ever existed. I qui

Jaws: Chrissie and the legacy of the most famous killer of the seas

We all know what happened with Jaws (1975): it crushed the box office, catapulted Steven Spielberg's career, brought prestige to the horror genre, sparked fear in millions of swimmers around the world, and became the golden standard for shark movies, one that may be imitated a thousand times but never equaled. But there is something that sets Jaws apart from other classics, not only in horror but

Fantasia Fest 2025: "Together" Takes the John Carpenter Approach to Relationships

Have you ever been so in love, desired someone so deeply, wanted to be so close to them that you feel like you could burrow into their chest cavity, nestle yourself around their heart and sleep there forever like a squirrel hibernating for the winter? An obsession that runs so deep that you fall asleep thinking about the other person and wake up to finish the thought. You create a fantasy of them,

“Amazing Amy & Perfect Patrick: Gone Girl Meets American Psycho” - Written by Amy Dunne-Bateman

Readers, let me tell you a little story. By now, I assume you all know me. Yes - Amazing Amy. The muse for that beloved children’s book series / The girl who survived that horrendous kidnapping ordeal / The wife who reunited with her cheating husband, Nick, the man she once thought was her soul mate. Spoiler: he wasn’t. My parents blamed the stress of my ordeal, but if kidnapping doesn’t bring you

mind.full.of.movies: This is incredible! The way you managed to bring Amy Dunne's voice to the page is so well done, it felt like I was reading the novel again. Also, this is a match made in heaven! They'd make the craziest duo– at the very least, Amy might help make Patrick grow a flair for the poetic when it comes to his murders.

Fantasia Fest 2025: Slashers and Vintage Porn Collide in the Trashy Giallo Loving Thriller "Anything That Moves"

In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock shocked audiences by showing a toilet flush on screen for the very first time. I'm assuming a lot of those white dudes wearing suits and ties to the cinema were also enraged to see a single woman driving a car by herself. But I can't be certain. I wasn't there. It's 2025 and for the second time at Fantasia Fest this year a man receives a golden shower in the first fifteen

cinejanie: This sounds absolutely unhinged, in the best way. I love how it pushes boundaries while staying rooted in something deeply human. Will definitely try to catch it if I get the chance.

Review: 'House on Eden' is Delightfully Unsettling

An abandoned house in the middle of the woods, a group of paranormal investigators, shaky cam footage, and unforeseen consequences make for a good time. No? House on Eden might be your latest craving for a found footage horror movie that takes its time. Instead of thrusting you into terror immediately and it absolutely works. House on Eden follows a trio of paranormal investigators, who decide to

Fantasia Fest 2025: An Interesting Premise Can't Save "Hellcat" From Being a Total Snoozer

Honk-shoo, honk-shoo mi mi mi mi mi Honk-shoo, honk-shoo mi mi mi mi mi-- --Oh, excuse me, sorry. I was just watching Hellcat, the claustrophobic indie horror that's like if Cloverfield Lane and Pontypool had a baby so boring it would make Terrence Malick keel over and turn to dust. I often huff and puff about how independent, low budget films should be viewed through a different lens than Hollywo

Fantasia Fest 2025: Mother of Flies Faces the Horrors of Death with a Tender Heart

The Adams Family filmmaking trio, Fantasia Fest mainstays John Adams, Zelda Adams and Toby Poser return with their latest horror feature that's a little rough around the edges, but with enough heart that makes it worth a watch. Mother of Flies is another entry into the American witch canon, folk horror set in the woods somewhere in the eastern part of the country where weird shit tends to happen.

Jenn The Editor: Ooo this is very helpful. I wanted to watch this movie but I've been sadly underwhelmed with The Adams Family's past films. I really want to like them though!

Fantasia Fest 2025: The Serpent's Skin is a Campy Love Affair That Belongs Smack Dab in the Middle of a Season of Buffy

Alice Maio Mackay, the 20 year-old phenom from Australia, returns to the big screen with her sixth feature The Serpent's Skin. It's a campy, witchy love affair that feels like an action packed episode of Buffy or Charmed. Wonky VFX included. The film follows Anna (Alexandra McVicker), a young trans woman, escaping her abusive household to live with her older sister in maybe L.A./maybe Brisbane whe

Here’s to Swimming with Bow-Legged Women: How Jaws Redefined the Summer Movie — 50 Years Later

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws — the film that didn’t just change how movies were made, but redefined what we think of as a “summer movie.” Half a century later, it still holds its place as a masterpiece of suspense, storytelling, and sunburned dread. And for me, growing up in the UK, Jaws wasn’t just a thriller about a shark. It was my first real taste of Americana, and the moment s

Hidden in the Circle: Unveiling the Possession Ritual in Bring Her Back

Not easily decoded, Bring Her Back buries its meaning in myth and grief; Here we reveal the structure beneath the ritual. After recently watching Bring Her Back, I was left with a sense of unease…Like an enigmatic residue that lingers after watching. In Bring Her Back, grief becomes the ritual itself.

TOGETHER: A Twisted Romantic Horror Movie To Bring Your Date

Together is the new movie by Dave Franco and Alison Brie about a complicated couple who moved to the countryside and soon they discover that a curse has attached to them that makes them, so….close. This film was directed by Michael Shanks in his film debut and it was surrounded with controversy, because they firmly believed that this story was plagarized, but taking away that gossip, the film is I

5 Horror or Horror Adjacent Films That Might Never Get Remakes

There's one thing that remains incredibly true in most film genres, and that is the fact that some films are products of their time. We can love or enjoy said films one way or another, whether it's due to nostalgia or whichever. But some films would likely never receive a remake in modern times. Most of which is due to the reemergence of purity culture (particularly amongst some Gen Z), the curren

Zombie Cinema Isn't Dead, but Cinema Etiquette Might Be

There’s something deeply ironic about watching a movie like 28 Years Later — a movie about the decayed remnants of civil society and the long-term effects of post-apocalyptic upbringing — surrounded by people who behave like they were raised in a bunker by an iPad and a sack of Hi-chew. And look, I’m not some purist who thinks movie theaters need to be as silent as a confessional — I love a rowdy

'28 Years Later' and Projecting Expectations Onto Returning Horror Film Series or Franchises

It's incredibly generalized to say this, but the horror community can be quite unforgiving. Plenty of horror fans are passionate and champion the genre because it hasn't always been properly recognized. There's nothing wrong with being like that as a horror fan. In fact, many of us are proud fans and have no shame in saying so. However, in the case of a long awaited sequel like 28 Years Later, the

The Enduring Palpable Misery of 'Martyrs' (2008)

There are horror films that gut the characters, but then there are horror films that carve us out like pumpkins and leave us empty. If you had to line people up and ask them if they experienced that with Martyrs (2008), you'd find most fans saying yes. The film isn't for those who are looking for a cookie cutter or very American ending to their horror film. Considering it's part of the very contro

M3GAN 2.0 Is a Downgrade

“Whenever Megan isn't on screen, all the other characters should be asking, ‘Where’s Megan?'" Megan? Em-Three-Gen? Mee-gin? Regardless of how you say it, the bitch is back in a film too boring for a character as fun as our cold-blooded robo queen. To be honest, I was not a fan of the first movie. It suffered from the same issues that most films released under the Blumhouse umbrella suffer from: bl

Review: 'Push' is a Blanket Gripping Home Invasion Horror Thriller

The uttering of the words "home invasion" often sends people into a rightful state of paranoia. There's nothing supernatural about people breaking into homes with the intent to steal or harm occupants. And horror and or thriller films perfectly can sometimes capture just how human these acts are. In the case of Push, it's undoubtedly more difficult when you are 8 months pregnant and alone. Push is
