Unicorns are mythical creatures that commonly become kids’ obsessions, adorning the walls with pink bows and unicorns. Unicorns typically are not associated with horror films, but Legend (1985) at least had them in the mix with some terrifying elements. Death of a Unicorn (2025) attempts…

Film Review – The Monkey
Some movies are just made to be viewed by large audiences. Responding to every joke, scare, thrill, or laugh simultaneously in a room full of strangers is one of life’s pure joys. In that regard, The Monkey (2025) should be viewed in the biggest theater with the…
