The 1990s were a very special time. We had the Clinton Administration, rolled-up jeans, and horror movies. Lots and lots and horror movies. This seems to be the way it’s always been. They’re cheap to make, the stories don’t have to be amazing, and when the plot gets slow, throw in some violence, nudity (or both), and watch the profits roll in. We sure had some great films back then. Silence of the Lambs, Scream and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare are just a few....

With a daughter who has watched Cars (the standard DVD version) over 50 times in the last year, I’m quite familiar with the film....

“Ours is indeed an age of extremity. For we live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror.” So begins lauded cultural critic Susan Sontag’s excellent 1965 essay “The Imagination of Disaster,” which looks at the disaster film before and after the advent of nuclear warfare. With climate change and global pandemics both terrifying humanity and sending people into bored isolation—and the new apocalyptic satire Don’t Look Up now on Netflix and in theatres—perhaps it’s wise to look at Sontag’s essay and the first decade of this increasingly disastrous millennium, the 2000’s....

Horror movies are commonly known for their great kill and character death scenes and jump scares. However, there is a subgenre of horror that is much more focused on the inner workings of the human mind, rather than making audiences scream. That’s not to say that all psychological horror films are all tell and no show. Netflix’s 2018 release The Perfection does a great job of making the audience question what is real and putting an important emphasis on what is implied and what is seen....

We live in times when capitalism shapes our views of the world and the way we operate on a daily basis. Some are struggling to feed their families and afford basic necessities, while others enjoy the luxuries that life has to offer. Now, more than ever, we can pinpoint class inequality everywhere we look. Everyone’s hungry for money, to earn more, and to become someone unreachable. However, for those who aren’t as fortunate as others, movies sometimes serve as a sanctuary and a clear image of what could have been if society (and life) worked out differently....
