Imagine waking up severely wounded, locked inside the back of a moving camper trailer, with no memory of how you got there. Your only connection to the outside world is the disembodied voice of the driver coming through a crackling intercom—a man who claims he’s trying to save your life, even as his stories become increasingly unhinged. Today, I’m thrilled to be sitting down with the film's incredible and very talented lead, Dakota Gorman. Dakota plays Lena, a woman trapped in a moving Airstream who is forced into a deadly psychological chess match with her unseen driver. What an absolute phenomenal interview! Sitting down with Dakota was an amazing experience and to hear what she had to say about her role and the movie.

A massive thank you to Dakota Gorman for pulling back the curtain on such an intense shoot. It takes a very special kind of talent to hold an audience’s attention when you are confined to a single room for 90 minutes, and Dakota absolutely nailed the physical and emotional exhaustion of Lena’s nightmare.

Take a seat with me and Olivia Mignone, who helps anchor this film's intense psychological weight. We discussed the exhausting mechanics of micro-budget filmmaking, the challenges of acting opposite a director-star, and how she mentally prepared to face down a local legend. A massive thank you to Olivia Mignone for such a thoughtful, grounded conversation.

From the outside, Camp Almar looks like your typical summer getaway—complete with campfires, ghost stories, and a local legend about a masked killer known as 'The Doctor.' But in the 2025 sci-fi thriller Marshmallow, things are far from ordinary.

Siiri Solalinna did exactly that, delivering a performance that critics have called both heartbreaking and terrifying. Even though this was her breakout role, she beat out over a thousand other applicants who auditioned – apparently, the casting director chose Sirri because she has the talent.

Blake Lindsley, one of the most talented actresses to star in Starship Troopers and who had the most brutal, heartbreaking ends during the disastrous drop on Klendathu.

I am honored to have sat down with a true icon of 1980s genre cinema: Marc Singer. Join me and Marc Singer as we travel back to 1982 to discuss the legendary sword-and-sorcery epic The Beastmaster. Portraying the heroic Dar, a warrior with the extraordinary ability to communicate telepathically with animals, Marc defined the fantasy hero archetype for an entire generation. Being a movie that was brought into existence during the Golden Era, I feel that this set the tone for a lot of fantasy and action movies (and some remakes). The intense energy that was delivered for the role of Dar is immense and genuine given that this movie was filmed during the times of practical special effects. Over forty years later, the film’s message of harmony with nature and standing up against tyranny remains as powerful as ever—and Kodo and Podo still hold a very special place in all of our hearts.

Starring as Maude, Dari Lynn portrays the character whose tragic history serves as the emotional engine for the entire plot, fueling the isolation and guilt felt by Kaitlyn Dever's Brynn.

We talked about the challenges of acting without a script, building a tragic childhood backstory through flashbacks, and what it was like being at the center of an alien invasion that was as much about grief as it was about extraterrestrials. Our sincere thanks to Dari Lynn Griffin for taking the time to discuss her pivotal role as Maude and the unique experience of filming No One Will Save You. If you haven't seen the film yet, it is a must-watch for any fan of innovative sci-fi and it’s still streaming on Hulu.

He and I peeled back the onion to reveal the concept of the show and the brilliant mind of the creator.

The preparation, the collaboration, the specific elements, and much more are covered in this episode. Psychonaut is available to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, and FlixFling.

For many, 'The Mummy' conjures images of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as charming adventurers foiling a plan for world domination. However, with this new reimagining, it has been described as a hardcore supernatural thriller, compared to horror classics like Poltergeist and even the grim crime thriller Se7en. It promises to be an intense and unflinching experience. Get wrapped up with me and Billie as we talk about her role in this amazing movie which is making a lot of traction nationwide. We spoke about her character, the dynamic on set with the other actors, what it was like to work with Lee Cronin, what was fun, what was challenging, and most importantly, the concept behind the film along with some behind the scenes look at this intense movie.

Scream 7, the latest installment in the franchise has gone viral since the release but this time, it’s a new Ghostface who is on the mission to kill Sidney and seems to be hardcore about it making the movie a solid entry that improved the series with some nostalgic moments. The movie has been described as a devilish roller coaster ride that satisfies both laughter and scares. Stab, you’re it! I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking to Kyle about his role in the newest installment of the Scream Universe. We spoke about what the audition process was like, the concept behind his character, the atmosphere of the set, what it was like to be directed by the original creator of the franchise, and to work alongside Neve Campbell. Now that Cyle has joined the cast, he is now a part of two separate clubs: “Killed by Ghostface” Club and the “Opening Kill” Club. Which certainly paves the way for this young and talented actor’s career in which I feel will definitely resonate with the younger generation. Although we do not witness Aaron’s kill on screen, there’s the possibility that he might be brought back in another film from the Scream Franchise. Let’s cross our fingers and bring Cyle back to the universe. You can now buy or rent Scream 7 on YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play Movies, and Fandango at Home.

"Demo[N]" puts an inventive spin on the screen life horror subgenre by cleverly merging the familiar webcam format with the unsettling world of a cursed video game. This unique premise helps distinguish the film, and once the demonic activity begins, it effectively builds a palpable sense of suspense. For dedicated fans of the genre, however, it brings enough new ideas to be worth a watch. It was great to sit down with Angharad and Gary to understand the concept behind the film. I for one, am not into video game / possession genre but this movie was produced well, the acting is phenomenal, and it just straight up scared the crap out of me. Both Angharad and Gary delivered their performances exceptionally well and I am thoroughly impressed with this film. I give it two thumbs up and 4.5/5 – check it out, I highly recommend it. Now available for streaming on Fandango at Home, Tubi, YouTube, and Apple TV.

With Lovecraftian horror making a major comeback, this film is an absolutely insane and terrifying standout. It's a masterclass in tension, driven by spectacular performances and a creature design that is both horrific and grotesque. The plot will keep you guessing until the very end, which is guaranteed to leave you in a state of complete and utter shock. Follow Nadia and I deep into the under earth as we sit down and talk about her role in the film. She revealed the ancient secrets of her character, what it was like on set, how the movie would potentially resonate with the audience, and what the dynamic was like to the veteran/legendary actor John Rhys-Davies. Although there was much to tell, I believe that this movie will become the next step in the chain reaction of Lovecraftian style films. With the talented ensemble cast to the themes behind the story line, this movie will be a great watch if you’re interested in creature features. Bone Keeper (2026) is available to watch on digital platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, Sky Store, YouTube, and Rakuten.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a brilliantly executed film that dares to re-imagine the life of one of America's most iconic presidents through a supernatural lens. It succeeds with a story that is both audacious and surprisingly compelling, making it far more entertaining than I ever anticipated. It stands arguably the best period vampire film of its kind we're ever likely to get.

The original Faces of Death became notorious for its daring blend of staged and real footage, sparking decades of ongoing debate over snuff films, authenticity, and ethics. That same is true or not tension still seems somewhat intact in Goldhaber’s reimagining, and based on the current response to its marketing, the film is already recreating that discomfort in real time.

Blood Barn proves that a loving tribute to horror's golden age can still feel fresh and visceral. It's a film that leans into its influences, serving up gloriously chaotic scenes that are as beautiful as they are bloody. At its heart, it respects the sacred horror trinity—sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll—using their condemnation as the engine for a story that perfectly balances bone-chilling fear with a throbbing, undeniable lust.Join me as I sat down with the awesome Lena Redford and we spoke about her role as Josie in her feature length debut. We talked about how she approached playing the lead role that embraces the comedy-horror trope, how this movie compares to the Evil Dead, and what the atmosphere was like on set. With her being the granddaughter of the late legendary actor Robert Redford, I have a lot of respect for her and how she is carrying on his legacy. For those that have not seen this movie, I highly recommend that you do… It is definitely a glorious melody to 1980s horror, and which has also earned the right to be a midnight popcorn movie.

One of the more interesting horror films to come along in recent years, largely because it relies on elaborate visuals and constant jump scares, the film builds its dread almost entirely through sound. What makes this movie stand out is how effectively it uses silence and sound design to create tension making it a bold choice and making it work remarkably well and it’s the kind of horror that creeps up on you rather than announcing itself loudly and it’s being called the new Blair Witch. Join me and Michele as we spoke about her role, what it was like on set with the rest of the cast and crew, and the dynamic she shared with Nina Kiri. The other topics explored were the religious background contrast with Evy’s skepticism along with the demonic theme. Additionally, we also spoke about the themes of family guilt, deep faith and super-naturalism.

Slashers and woods – go together like peanut butter and jelly… This movie is a classic slasher setup with a twist that gives the Axeman lore some extra texture. The film is non-stop and it never slows down, it gives the blending of humor, gore, and heart providing the right ingredients for a solid slasher flick. While Axes and Os pay tribute to classic slashers, it flips the formula with a creature-feature twist that sets it apart from typical holiday horror fare. Slashers, gore, blood, women dying, oh my! What a wonderful interview with Dina! Sit down with Dina and I as she spoke about her role in the film and how her character fits into the “Galentine’s” getaway which goes horribly sideways. However, with the twist at the end, it makes the movie splatter worthy and it’s a definite must watch. What makes this movie stand apart from all of the other slasher movies? You’re going to have to watch it and find out. Now streaming on Tubi, Amazon, and Apple TV.

Highly entertaining and intense, "Whistle" succeeds by blending creative, Final Destination-style deaths with a surprisingly tender portrait of anxious adolescence. The cast brings genuine heart to their roles, giving you a likable group of teens to root for amidst a solid string of gory set pieces. If your favorite horror movies are both breezy and bloody, then "Whistle" is an absolute must-watch. Such a wonderful interview as I sat down and spoke to very talented and wonderful Lanette about her role in this amazing and new supernatural horror movie about a Death Whistle.She had so much to say about her character and the movie, there’s a lot of priceless information in this interview and for what she could say, I am very thrilled and honored to have had this opportunity. Having that Final Destination theme, and trying her best not to give too much away, Lanette described how she approached her character who is actively being hunted by her own impending death. I can only imagine what the atmosphere and the dynamic was like on set for her even though it was challenging to prepare herself for the intense and gory scenes. You can follow and support Lanette on Instagram and also keep up to date with her current (and possible) future projects.

While the 2024 remake of 'Speak No Evil' delivers plenty of frightening moments that will have you squirming in your seat, it also carves its own distinct identity with unexpected twists. The film is anchored by superb performances from its entire cast, but one portrayal is truly a standout. As the young, non-verbal Ant, Dan Hough delivers a performance of remarkable strength and nuance, creating a character whose safety we become deeply invested in. He is the magnetic center of the film's rising tension, and it's my pleasure to have interviewed him. Join me as I sat down with Dan Hough in this interview about his debut role! This young and very talented actor delivered his role as Ant and it’s an exceptional performance. Anyone who is nominated for Young British/Irish Performer of the Year for a role that has no dialogue deserves it! Dan Hough is very talented in my opinion. We spoke about how he prepared for a role that relied heavily on non-verbal communication and how he had to practice conveying his emotions, what it was like to work on set with James McAvoy and developing the on-screen dynamic with the other actors. Dan has also revealed that there is a documentary on YouTube where he revisits the set after two years and surreal because that was essentially his home for the entire duration of filming.
