INITIAL THOUGHTS It isn’t everyday you have a horror film that finds a way to blend folklore, trauma, and 1408 hotel haunting styles all into one. HOKUM finds a way to do that with a fairly simple story, focusing on telegraphed scares that will still make you jump and Scary imagery throughout. This movie I... Continue Reading →

Obsession I have repeatedly been singing the praise of this film because all of the marketing for this film couldn’t be better in my opinion. We had all of the following in the marketing campaign released gradually to lead up to this film making shockwaves across horror come May: - Very short teaser that built suspense...

This blog is exactly as the title depicts, what stuck out to me from all of the CinemaCon news at 2026 CinemaCon. It is impossible to cover everything they showed or discussed so I am going to use my bias and favoritism to highlight a few topics and pieces of news that got me really... Continue Reading →
