• Russ Fischer's Top Ten Films Of 2014

    Focus, simplicity and control. As I look back over the films of 2014, the ones that most stay with me are not the sprawling epics or the movies that tried to cram a surplus of ideas or technique into one story. (Sorry, Birdman and Interstellar.) They're the movies, not even necessarily the "small" ones, that…

  • Angie's Top 10 Films Of 2014

    In box office terms, 2014 wasn't a huge year for film. But in creative terms, it's hard to fault this year's crop. It contained at least one once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece, not to mention one of the greatest horror movies in years, several big-budget franchise-builders that soared way past expectations, and some completely out-of-nowhere gems. As the…

  • 'The Babadook' US Trailer: This Demon Is Here To Stay

    The Babadook is good enough that, after nine months of Sundance audiences (like me) flapping their gums about it's virtues, Fantastic Fest audiences saw through any hype and responded enthusiastically to the film in multiple screenings over the past week. It's good enough that, even with the debut of other impressive horror pictures (such as…

  • 'The Babadook' Poster: Evil Pops Up Everywhere

    The Babadook, which follows a very troubled single mother and her son, is the best horror film I've seen in 2014. In fact, it's one of the best I've seen in a long time, period. So we're going to keep talking about it, because the name isn't the sort that ropes audiences in right away.…

  • New 'The Babadook' Trailer Is Scary And Spectacular

    The Babadook is a lean and mean horror film out of Australia, and this new Babadook trailer is just perfect. The film was one of the best at Sundance this year, and remains one of my favorites of the year so far. The story centers on Amelia, a widowed mother, and her troubled young son Samuel.…
