    George A. Romero, cult films, and the Time Warp

    by W. Andrew Powell May 19, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell May 19, 2020

    It’s hard to overstate what George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead did for horror. He was ahead of his time. The films helped set a style, tone, and visual language for what we imagine when we think of zombies, and he also used the films to talk about social issues.

    Unsettling Us

    by W. Andrew Powell June 26, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell June 26, 2019

    Jordan Peele’s latest horror film, Us, is like nothing you’ve seen before. The director is making horror that is shocking, layered in metaphor, and deeply unsettling. When I got this package of treats in the mail for the film, I have to admit it was pretty damn creepy.

    ‘Night of the Living Dead Live’ bursts from the grave in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013

    In 1968, director George A. Romero, the “Godfather of Zombies”, brought a new kind of monster to the realm of horror. The zombies, or ghouls, in Night of the Living Dead, were fresh–or as fresh as dead bodies can get–and his film helped spawn a whole new genre of horror; the splatter film.

    by W. Andrew Powell September 5, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell September 5, 2011

    While dramas, documentaries and tearjerkers rule the day at the Toronto International Film Festival, it’s the bloody, supernatural and action-packed films that rule the nights at TIFF, and that’s thanks to Midnight Madness.

    Colin Farrell scares up revered role for ‘Fright Night’ remake

    by W. Andrew Powell August 18, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell August 18, 2011

    Interviewing actors and filmmakers can be a difficult job when you consider the odds that are stacked against you. Are they in a good mood? Have they done a lot of interviews today? Do they even feel like talking about their latest film right now? Those questions all make you wonder what will happen when you sit down with the next star, but then, not everyone is like Colin Farrell.
