Between a global pandemic that we’re still in the midst of and the increasing library of titles available for streaming, 2021 has been a strange comeback year for the movies.

2021 hasn’t concluded in a complete return to cinemas, but it’s been a wildly more uplifting year that’s allowed the entertainment industry to finally get back on track. The degree of catch up and cinematic holdovers that have fallen into 2021 have practically spoiled horror fans with an overload of highly anticipated content like Malignant, […]

Monsters rank near the very top of reasons why we love horror so much, and luckily 2021 horror gave us plenty.

In such a packed year for horror releases, especially on the indie front, a monster needs to stand out through […]

Luckily, there was plenty of it on offer. 2021 marked a huge year for perhaps the biggest name in horror games, Resident Evil. Not only did the series celebrate its 25th anniversary, but […]
