Clownimage

When it comes to a horror films these days, we are filled with reboots and reimaginings of our favorite films, but every so often there is a film that makes a dent in the genre. Clowns have been interpreted in this genre as the ultimate antagonist that will haunt your dreams and never let you go. This entity has been portrayed in the film industry for many decades and is one thing that almost everyone can agree upon, which is the sheer terror that coincides with Clowns.  I am one of those people that has Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns). Director Jon Watts and Eli Roth put together a film that is not only extraordinary, but quite brilliant in it’s own sense. Clown is a film that focuses on the man I am interviewing today, Andy Powers, and the transition from a loving husband and father, to a possessed demon that feasts on young children.  If that isn’t traumatizing, I don’t know what is.  Today, I sat down with the veteran actor to talk about this film, the transition into this blood thirsty clown, and his upcoming work. You may recognize him from TV, film, or theatre, but this is a film that he should be recognized for the most and looked at for many years to come.  It is my pleasure to introduce Andy Powers!

Following up from his theatrical debut, Blue Ruin, director Jeremy Saulnier could’ve taken any route he wanted. And he chose to make Assault On Precinct Nazi, which is absolutely fine because he turns out a film with enough force to confirm himself as a director to watch out for. Green Room is the new best siege movie, with enough intensity and unrelenting violence to satisfy any genre fan.

Review – The House of the Devil (2009)

by Henry Hill

“During the 1980s over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults… Another 30% rationalized the lack of evidence due to government cover ups…The following is based on true unexplained events…”

Sometimes a movie comes along that has been out for several years before you discover it, and immediately after watching it, you want to tell all your friends about how much you liked it. 2009’s Horror The House of the Devil is one of those films. It was recommended to me by a friend, and after watching it, I highly recommend you do the same. Fans of the horror genre clamoring for movies like the classics of the 80s will especially enjoy Ti West’s twisted tale.
