FlixChatter Review: Bones and All (2022)
When I saw the trailer for Bones and All, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it.

Judging a movie based on a work of literature is hard. Judging a movie based on a work of literature by the son of an already iconic horror author is even harder. The Black Phone is an adaptation of a short story by Joe Hill, son of the monumentally famous Stephen King. And while there …
5 Horror Movies To Enjoy in the Summertime
As FlixChatter's horror correspondent, you might assume my favorite season is fall...and you'd be right. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy summer! I love grilling in the backyard, relaxing at the beach (slathered in 70 SPF sunscreen), and roasting marshmallows around a bonfire. And just because fall is the traditionally spooky season doesn't mean …
