“The Day Tennyson Died” Indicates That Season Three Might Be Penny Dreadful’s Best

May 6, 2016 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Penny Dreadful Season 3 Dr Jekyll

Penny Dreadful Season 3 Episode 1 “The Day Tennyson Died” Let’s get it out of the way: Dracula has arrived. Penny Dreadful started out as a strange, Gothic adventure, throwing audiences right into the world of vampires, Egyptian magic and a collection of characters from Gothic and Victorian literature, or at least those that fit […]

Pop Rehabilitation: Megan is Missing

April 13, 2016 By Chris Jones Leave a Comment

Megan is Missing

Not content to let their pop passions go unloved by the masses, Loser City staff have banded together to provide Pop Rehabilitation to the works that have been unjustly maligned and forgotten. This month, Christopher M. Jones looks back at the 2011 found footage horror film Megan is Missing, which was widely panned and failed to make much […]

The Invitation is a Horror Work That Lingers Long After Seeing It

April 8, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

The Invitation

Often, the best thing you can say about a horror film is that it lingered, refusing to leave your brain after you saw it, maybe popping up in the background of your vision as you’re out at night, perhaps framing your dreams for the next little while. Even bad horror can provide an immediate visceral […]

Top of the Lake: An Interview with Lake Imago Creators Jamaica Dyer and Eddie Wright

April 7, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

We were very fortunate to receive an advance copy of Jamaica Dyer and Eddie Wright’s Lake Imago recently, and after reading and reviewing it we were left with a number of questions. The first issue of the comic lays out a lot of the groundwork for what will surely be a haunting and poignant pastoral horror piece […]

Yellowed Pages: Hell on Earth

March 25, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Hell on Earth Keith Giffen

Back in the early ’80s, Marvel started up a Graphic Novels series, releasing standalone stories and offbeat excursions in a prestige format. It took off and as is usually the case with the Big Two, DC decided to follow suit and create their own graphic novel line, starting with a couple bizarre licensed Atari comics […]

SXSW Film 2016 Day Four: Preacher, Death by Audio and Jack Goes Home

March 15, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Jack Goes Home Rory Culkin

SXSW generally has a great slate of TV premieres but most of the shows they lined up this year didn’t stir my interest one way or another. The big exception was Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s adaptation of Preacher, set to air on AMC this summer, which I was interested in not because I thought it would be […]

Indigenous is an Unnaturally Stupid Movie

December 4, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Indigenous

Generally my horror movie philosophy is pretty similar to David Lynch’s views on coffee: even a bad horror film is better than no horror films at all. But the Panamian tourism bureau horror fim Indigenous really tests my faith in that sentiment. A movie about dumb, pretty white people stomping through Central America, where terms like […]

Deathgasm is the Heavy Metal Cover of Evil Dead You Never Knew You Wanted

October 2, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Deathgasm

When will we as a culture collectively agree to retire Evil Dead as the most homaged low budget horror film? My vote goes for this year, now that New Zealand has returned to the Evil Dead well once more with Deathgasm, a mostly lovable film that basically gives Sam Raimi’s frequently revisited classic a Kiwi Metal Makeover. It’s […]

Cop Car is a Great Short Film that Buckles Under Feature Length

September 28, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Cop Car

Fear of police is nothing new but it’s clear that astynomiaphobia has reached critical mass in 2015, as civilian deaths from police activity have seemingly increased even as the cop death rate is at one of its lowest points in recorded history. That inherent distrust of authority figures has a rich history in fiction, particularly […]
