‘SWEET REVENGE:’ JASON VOORHEES IS BACK, BABY... - Daily Grindhouse On February 13th, 2009, I left my local multiplex mostly satisfied with Platinum Dunes’s rendition of FRIDAY THE 13th. I had some qualms with the forgettable score (this series just hits different wit...

‘BRUTE 1976’ HAS GREAT POINTS OF INSPIRATION, BUT NOT-SO-GREAT TIMING - Daily Grindhouse A bloody and dirty homage to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES was all the information I needed on BRUTE 1976 to instantly add it to my watchlist. The original TCM is a personal favo...

BRUTE 1976 hits VOD this month and, while it looks a little too polished for the period it’s paying homage to and not everything about the story quite works, a badass lead and kills for the books make this one worth checking out for yourself, says our @rileycassidy.bsky.social

'AMERICANA' IS LIKE AN OLD FRIEND, A MINOR MASTERPIECE THAT SHOULDN'T BE OVERLOOKED - Daily Grindhouse I need to set the stage by talking about two recent Westerns. Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON is a film about the lack of sense the filmmaker could make of the United States’ response to the relentless horror o...

@rewindfee.com brought the DG spotlight to Tony Tost’s AMERICANA, a film he deems an “old friend” amid today’s film offerings that deserves time and attention. Read more here!

KING OF THE BLOCKBUSTERS: 'JAWS' AT 50! - Daily Grindhouse When JAWS debuted in 1975, it so thoroughly revolutionized the movie industry that its effects continue to reverberate 50 years later. So much ink has been spilled about it that it hardly warrants reh...

PRESENTING “FRIDAY THE 13TH #13!” - Daily Grindhouse There have been twelve feature films so far in the FRIDAY THE 13TH series. The last one was released in 2009, which means Jason Voorhees hasn’t been on the big screen in sixteen years and counting. In...

Katie Beachy may not yet have a social media presence to tag her with, but she DOES have a pretty impressive plot idea for Friday the 13th 13, featuring Susan Sarandon (as herself), the first beheading quintuple axel known to man, and the return of some legacy characters!

[FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD] MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015) - Daily Grindhouse Every good film is a miracle. That may not be the single best word for the extreme unlikelihood of the end result, and it may be a generous way to look at it, but still. Think about it: A good film st...

The other is sheer celebration at the miracle and work of its massive existence:

[OPINION] THOUGHTS ON THE DEBATE SURROUNDING 'MAD MAX: FURY ROAD' - Daily Grindhouse No film is above reproach. Not even MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. We have seen an unparalleled amount of praise for George Miller’s newest film – both as an action film and as a mainstream feminist allegory – b...

Both pieces originate from the five year mark anniversary. One interrogates the debate around the film and the success of its depictions:

a bald man in a car with the word witness written on his back Alt: Nicholas Holt in Mad Max Fury Road, a bald man turning dramatically in a car toward the camera, pointing and yelling “witness!”

It’s ten years of Mad Max: Fury Road today, and while we’re sure you’re up to your ears in reflections on it, here are two looks back from DG on George Miller’s masterpiece

a person wearing a mask with red hearts in their eyes and the words heart eyes on the bottom Alt: a person wearing a mask with glowing red hearts in their eyes against a dark background, with the words heart eyes in the top right corner.

It’s #HeartEyes on Netflix day! Will you be watching one of DG staff’s most anticipated movies of the year?

HORROR TAKES THE STAGE! ‘MAB’ IS A THOUGHT-PROVOKING NIGHTMARE - Daily Grindhouse Horror is making a quiet splash in the world of theater, but it is a splash that has been long overdue. The immersive nature of the horror genre screams to be up close and personal with its audience. ...

We’ve got more than one new writer to DG, of late, and this one is bringing exploration of as-yet-unexplored territory for us. @tayparade.bsky.social made her DG debut this week talking the stage play MAB, innovative performance, and audience immersion!

[PANIC FEST 2025]: 'LEAD BELLY' IS A SLOW BURN NIGHTMARE THAT LINGERS - Daily Grindhouse There’s always at least one film per festival that knocks me so far sideways I need to take extra time to process. Historically, for Panic Fest, it’s been things like Robbie Banfitch’s THE OUTWATERS a...

For the final piece out of #PanicFest, @24thdoctor.bsky.social talked the burning nightmare that is Lead Belly!

[PANIC FEST 2025]: 'DOOBA DOOBA' IS A CAUTIONARY TALE TO BABYSITTERS EVERYWHERE - Daily Grindhouse Found footage is, in some ways, the ultimate playground.

We’re told that looking and acting a certain way is what will...

@24thdoctor.bsky.social, meanwhile covered the 2025 #PanicFest, which carried a throughline this year of intimate/uncomfortable family dynamics. First up was Carry the Darkness, a surprisingly poignant look at societal panic and valuing relationships.
