Monster Cinema: The Myth and History of the Spectacle In recent years, the monster genre has been dominated by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and supernatural creatures. Although these monsters terrify audiences, they don’t have the same impact as their larger, far more destructive counterparts. The kaiju, or giant monster, have been a neglected and misunderstood genre for a long time. It wasn’t until recently that these monsters started to make their way back on the silver screen.

In Loving Memory of Philip K. Dick SOMA is a sci-fi Horror experience developed by Frictional Games. They are the developers responsible for creating Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Penumbra series. I don’t typically play games that are in the Horror genre, and this is the first game I’ve played by this particular developer. Now sci-fi games, that’s completely different. I can deal with a little bit of horror in that case. At first, I thought I was stepping into a space station. It was a very…

I haven’t had much success lately with Anchor Bay Canada’s recent releases of horror DVDs. You had duds like House of the Witchdoctor, Wrecker and A Place in Hell. All of them tried really hard to be something different (well, not Wrecker) and good, but failed. Thankfully, the chain has been broken with their recent release of Suspension, a love letter to slasher fans. The biggest attraction with Suspension is its story, so I will have to tread carefully, as I don’t want to spoil it, but if…

girls visit an aunt in the countryside and encounter a haunted house. I’m a sucker for horror films. I’m an even bigger sucker for really awful and cheesy horror films. I optimistically pressed play and crossed my fingers in the hopes that it wouldn’t let me down and that it came with English subtitles. House turned out to be everything I wanted and more. It was a surreal and cheesy film that offered little horror but very…

Williams’s depiction of “gross” movies are horror films that tend to have vigorous violence or disdain towards female promiscuous characters.
