Netflick of the Week: “Hush”

0
A film easily overlooked many times while browsing Netflix for something scary to watch, “Hush,” is surprisingly high quality. Every movie or TV show you hover over on Netflix gives you a description and a series of thumbnails to preview what you're about to watch. The thumbnails “Hush” give look silly and give the impression it would a B-grade horror flick. Unexpectedly, that is

“Blair Witch”: A Confusing but Frightening Homage

0
“Blair Witch,” released on Sept. 16, directed by Adam Wingard, is a pretty clear showing of respect to the original “Blair Witch Project” from 1999. That’s not to say it should be regarded any lower or not treated as its own film. On its own, “Blair Witch” is honestly terrifying. While it follows the same general sequence of events as the original, this sequel/remake/reboot

The Fall of Troy’s “Phantom on the Horizon”

0
I'm a bit late to the “post-progressive hardcore party,” but good music never goes out of style. Good music is exactly what this album from post-hardcore band The Fall of Troy is.

Taking place in an aban­doned neighborhood in De­troit, “Don't Breathe” follows three

“The Witch”: A Delightfully Disturbing Folktale

0
Robert Eggers’ directo­rial debut, “The Witch,” was a surprisingly well made thriller. That’s right, a thriller, not the straightforward horror it’s been advertised as. Taking place in 1630 New England, “The Witch” follows a family of seven who were exiled from their unspecified settlement. Taking their ban­ishment with dignity, the fa­ther, mother, and five children (one teenager, a younger boy, a small boy and
