The mutated adaptation of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’

JP Spoonmore | Wednesday, January 25, 2023

When HBO announced that they were adapting my favorite game, “The Last of Us,” as a nine-episode TV show, I was terrified. After just two episodes, I now realize something truly special is unfolding. My goal for this article, though, is not to review the show, or to even praise the accuracy of its adaptation.

Animation Nation: ‘Seoul Station’

The Observer | Wednesday, October 26, 2022

Halloween is upon us! While there are plenty of great animated Halloween movies like “Monster House” and “ A Nightmare before Christmas,” I wanted to find one that wasn’t entirely meant for kids. I wanted to try something new and see if there were any adult animated horror movies. However, it’s surprising to see that

Book Nook: ‘Witchcraft’ as self-care

Caitlin Brannigan | Wednesday, October 12, 2022

To set the mood for Halloween, I read Patti Wigington’s “Witchcraft for Healing: Radical Self-care for your Mind, Body, and Spirit.” I have no experience with witchcraft and didn’t know what to expect. I failed to connect well with the spookier aspects of the book, but its emphasis on self-care resonated with me. Its focus

‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’: Party ’til we drop

Andy Ottone | Wednesday, September 14, 2022

Have you ever been in a situation where you’re tagging along with someone and their friend group, but everything suddenly becomes really awkward? Well, add some murder mystery into the mix and you’ve got “Bodies Bodies Bodies.” This horror-comedy film centers on a group of friends and their romantic partners getting ready to party hard

‘Barbarian’ and its missing depths

JP Spoonmore | Monday, September 12, 2022

Editor’s note: This review includes mentions of sexual assault. “Barbarian” is a genre-twisting horror film preying on the fears of dark basements, “nice guy” strangers and rust-belt neighborhoods. What seems like a simple, entertaining premise quickly transforms into a lurking exploration of a horror found in real life. Unfortunately, its thematic mystery falls apart under

‘Fresh’: Missing all the red flags

Christine Hilario | Thursday, March 31, 2022

It’s a story of boy meets girl. “Fresh” protagonist Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is jaded from the dating scene: tired of scarf-wearing douchebags, the endless scroll of dating apps and unsolicited nude pictures. She’s about ready to throw in the towel on the dating endeavor when she meets Steve (Sebastian Stan) at her local grocery store.

‘X’: A grindhouse flick for a modern audience

Justin George | Thursday, March 31, 2022

The latest film from Ti West and A24 is what I imagine it would look like if Tobe Hooper directed “Boogie Nights” instead of Paul Thomas Anderson. “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and “Boogie Nights” are not two films I ever thought that I would mention in the same review, yet here we are. “X”

The contagious social commentary of “All of Us Are Dead”

JP Spoonmore | Tuesday, February 8, 2022

When watching foreign shows, the creators’ culture often dilutes in translation. But Netflix’s newest original, “All of Us Are Dead,” goes above and beyond to keep South Korean culture at its core. This webtoon-inspired show explores every socioeconomic angle of the stress-ridden life of South Korean high schoolers. Test scores and bullying are bad enough,

‘The House’ is an unsettling stop-motion nightmare

Justin George | Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Well … that was strange. “The House” is a stop-motion anthology film written by Enda Walsh. Each of the three chapters was produced by three filmmaking teams helmed by Emma De Swaef and Marc James Roles, Niki Lindroth von Bahr and Paloma Baeza, respectively. The three segments work together brilliantly, each providing a unique animation

Reboots suck, but here’s why you should watch ‘Scream’

Anna Falk | Monday, January 31, 2022

I must preface this article by saying that I have been exposed to very little horror media in my lifetime. I chickened out after the first two episodes of “American Horror Story.” Even just watching someone play “Five Nights at Freddy’s” upsets me to the bone. With this in mind, I don’t expect anyone to
