Body Horror vs Extreme Horror [Words of Wrath]

Changing “Splatterpunk” to “Body Horror” makes as much sense as calling all motor vehicles Jeeps. So, I thought I would explain what body horror is and is not.

Night of the Animated Dead (2021) Movie Review [Love Horror]

Night of the Living Dead is one of the greatest horror films ever made. George A. Romero’s black and white chiller from 1968 still defines zombies to this day and is as stark and shocking as it ever was due to the brilliant direction, socially charged script and non stop horror.
