Screamfest Review: ‘Dead Ant’ World Premiere
The giant ants in the science fiction classic Them! (1954) were born out of atomic age anxiety as the images of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remained fresh in the cultural zeitgeist. In 2017âs Dead Ant giant killer ants are not born from the aftermath of geopolitical conflict, but instead from drug fueled debauchery.

Review: 7 Witches

Review: âThe Forest of Lost Soulsâ â Unlike Any Horror Youâve Seen
JosĂŠ Pedro Lopesâ The Forest of Lost Souls(also known by its Portuguese title, A Floresta das Almas Perdidas) is a very interesting kind of horror movie.
