Independent film studio A24 has grown quite the reputation for taking chances on promising up-and-coming filmmakers, platforming their work and giving them the chance to show the film community their talents behind the camera. Ari Aster got his chance with his horror/drama Hereditary. Greta Gerwig made her solo directing debut with the quirky drama Lady Bird. […]
The much anticipated fourth film of up-and-coming auteur filmmaker Robert Eggers finally gives audiences a glimpse beyond production stills and cast rumors/changes. Focus Features describes Nosferatu as “A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.” The film is a remake […]
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey continues to rake in box-office dollars and earn five-star reviews. It’s also inspiring artists around the world. In one of my previous monthly poster roundups for Film Obsessive, I included an attractive official poster for the film. Beyond the studio’s marketing campaign, however, a vibrant community of illustrators and designers has […]
If there’s any specific praise to be given to the lineup of the 13th Annual Chattanooga Film Festival, it’s that the appeal of cinema has been appreciated in all forms. I sat down to Virgilio Villoresi’s lavish, esoteric Orfeo less than fifteen minutes after witnessing possibly the nastiest film I’ve ever seen, Gregory Morin’s Flush, […]
2019 was a pivotal year for the horror genre. This felt like the culmination of several trends that popped up in the late aughts through the 2010s. The genre was finally seeing recognition beyond its loyal fanbase. This year saw films from the likes of Jordan Peele (Us), Ari Aster (Midsommar), Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), […]
Beginning April 13, 2026, the fourteenth CinemaCon will kick off at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada and start a weeklong celebration of the moviegoing experience. For those curious about what this year’s CinemaCon will entail, or for those who are unfamiliar with CinemaCon, this article serves as a comprehensive overview of CinemaCon and a […]
The arrival of Luc Besson’s take on Dracula brings to mind the dichotomy between overtones and undertones. The venerable character created by Irish writer Bram Stoker in 1897 is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most portrayed literary character in history. Count Dracula has been molded and modified every which way […]
Many regular people make New Year’s resolutions, but I think larger entities, such as filmmakers and studio moguls, need to make them as well. For the fifth consecutive year, I bring my film critic credentials to the editorial side and have fun holding the movie industry accountable for areas that need improvement. As always, some […]
Lists. They feel simultaneously essential and meaningless to cinephilia. Whether they are rankings of the best movies of 2025 so far or a list of 15 comics to read before you watch the new Superman, movie fans have a habit of bunching stuff together in order to display our opinions on particular films, or to […]
Perhaps it would be an exaggeration to call Guillermo del Toro one of our greatest modern filmmakers, but there’s no denying he falls into a select category of directors who have to date, never failed to deliver their viewers a good time. Sadly, he’s been forced to spend an inordinate amount of his career working […]
Zack Cregger splashed onto the scene with Barbarian in 2022. The horror debut was daring, hilarious, and wholly original. It immediately put all eyes on the young comic turned director. Audiences and the industry alike were impatient for what he would do next. The script for his next feature, Weapons, reportedly sparked a bidding war […]
Britain has a fine tradition of making films in the folk-horror tradition, with such classics as The Wicker Man, Blood on Satan’s Claw and Witchfinder General globally celebrated across the world as excellent examples of British art and horror storytelling (something carried over into America with films like Robert Eggers‘s The Witch, and Ari Aster’s Midsommar). While not quite […]
