Halloween (2018) Review by David Gogel
“Death has come town to your little town, Sherriff ” – Loomis (Halloween Warning: Spoilers loom below! Before we get into this, I need to admit something. I fucking love slasher movies. Supposedly outdated and tired by 2018 standards, they remain my favorite horror genre. If it’s a slasher, I’ll watch it. I love the…

Jonesy: Nine Lives On The Nostromo Advanced Review by David Gogel
Ladies, gentlemen, synthetics. I just completed three straight days of New York Comic Con. And it was glorious.

Hidden Gems: AvP: Requiem Bonus Features
I thought I would take a break from another Alien Covenant discussion, and try something else on for size. With the Covenant blu-ray only a couple short weeks away, it’s the perfect time to revisit an older home release: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. A complete mess of a movie, but containing one of the coolest…

NECA Neomorph Review
When I first discovered NECA shortly after the release of Prometheus, I had no idea what I dipped my toe into. After a brief addiction to their releases and apologizing my wallet, I only purchase them occasionally now. And it’s usually just the creatures. No offense to the humans in the Alien universe, but I…
