The man has directed four feature films so far, with a fifth due this year. The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu, and the upcoming Werwulf.

The result was a fever dream that seemingly ended any live-action adaptations of the iconic author’s work. Well, at least authorized ones. The upcoming horror short, The Cat and the Hatchet, is “a twisted [...]

I’m not quite at that level. I do, however, enjoy seeing just how bad certain movies are. Especially when it comes to major motion pictures. A bad independent movie is understandable. A group of people makes a film, it doesn’t turn out great, but that’s that. When it’s [...]
