A strange mash up of found footage and heavy metal documentary, Who’s Watching (playing at The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival) is a scathing look at the kind of men who think the reason women don’t like them is because there is something inherently wrong with women. Caleb lives with his grandmother, works for his uncle and has a strange past with his parents. This all leaves him being that loner metal head that seems benign until he takes a bit too much of an interest in the new girl at work.

Writer/director Brandon Bassham has been making horror comedies for over a decade now. A member of the Upright Citizens Brigade since 2006, his films are released under the Troma label, and that basically tells you everything that you need to know. Brandon was kind enough to share his latest film, Bring On The Damned! with me and, as expected, it’s a wacky and bloody ride through horror absurdity that I really enjoyed.

October is the perfect time of year for a horror anthology: you get so much bang for your buck with an anthology and Bring On The Damned! is no slouch when it comes to delivering a buffet of horror genres. Written and directed by Brandon Bassham (The Slashening), Bring On The Damned! features five different stories, each rooted in a different sin. Blasphemy utilizes the Found Footage genre to do a hilarious send up of religion and exorcism.

Director: JT MollnerWriter: JT MollnerStars: Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, REVIEWIn a landscape of serial killer entertainment, writer/director JT Mollner has not only managed to deliver a wholly engaging story of cat and mouse, but he has also turned the genre on it’s head by subverting everything that you think you know about it. If you have heard the word of mouth on Strange Darling, then you know it’s recommended to go into the film as clueless as possible, and I couldn’t agree more.

Director: Oz PerkinsWriter: Oz PerkinsStars: Maika Monroe, Nic Cage, Blair Underwood, Alicia WittREVIEWEvery year there is a hotly anticipated film that has been declared “The Best” and “The Scariest”. Horror fans are like moths to a flame when these kinds of declarations are made, and when “The Scariest Film Of 2024” is from an established genre filmmaker, it’s hard to not be excited.

Director: Karim OuelhajWriter: Karim OuelhajStars: Eline Schumaker, Pierre Nisse, Wim WillaertREVIEWHorror has always been a place where feminism isn’t mandatory to fill a P.C. quota, but is the norm. We love a Final Girl and never question whether a woman could be as competent as a man in any kind of situation, but horror is also the place where modern day issues play out and there has been a definite uptick in male filmmakers addressing the current patriarchal issues in society.

We have been waiting to see adult Van for a while now and she does not disappoint. Living above her VHS store, While You Were Streaming, we see how she starts her day by being kind and rewinding a Welcome to the Dollhouse VHS and returning tapes to their shelves in her store. Was that a copy of Alive I spied?
