The Subtle Horror of “Crawl”

I really liked “Crawl” due to its fresh feeling in a sea (or lake) of unoriginal horror movies and shows. I’m looking at you, Stranger Things. It All Makes Sense! From the beginning “Crawl” made sense in terms of how the story is told. Haley (played by Kaya Scodelario) is able to swim away effectively […]

“Hellboy” Hell Yeah!

“Hellboy” (2019) directed by Neil Marshall is an interesting film in that it strays from the traditional superhero model and gives the audience a hero that is badass but also tired of the hero gig.

It is an interesting look at how we as Americans separate ourselves into the haves and have-nots. Mole People!

The Last of Us is so DAMN GOOD

I honestly thought they’d be consistent characters after that.

Then that damn cutscene rolled…

Beautiful End of BotW

The end of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is exciting and beautiful in its own right. The player gets to see Calamity Ganon in person and reunite with Zelda. This slideshow shows some of the prettier and more plot-based moments. Although there is no end-game content after all this happens, the game drops you […]

What Makes Something Scary Good?

Horror games are some of the most popular games on the market. Gamers want to be scared, and people want to watch them get scared.
