Black Horror Renaissance (2017-Now)
In this post I argue the thesis: the audience driven success of Get Out (2017) encouraged more money invested in making black horror. This investment resulted in more black voices successfully telling black stories through the genre which helped push the genre forward while validating unspoken pains experienced by many in the community and generating large return on investments.

2025 Horror Movies
This list of movies coming out in 2025 was initially posted June 7th, 2025 and I plan to update it occasionally as more movies come out, are announced, and/or if I have a post-watch review.

I don't want to spoil too much about this movie because I think it feeling clever came from me not knowing too much going into it.

Companion (2025)
There are parallels throughout between expectations for a robot and expectations for a girlfriend, often times the concepts being interchangeable when discussed amongst the characters. Even the lead up to the plot introducing Iris as a robot seems wildly normal as far as what we expect to see in romantic comedies.

420 Movie Marathon (2024 Titles)
Regardless if you partake in 420 or April 20th festivities or not, it happens to be on Sunday this year and upcoming weekends provide an opportunity to rest and recharge. Personally my rest and recharge includes horror movies, in particular new movies I haven't watched yet. This year I watched 2 international movies from 2024 on Shudder: Grafted and MadS.
