The Beauty of Short Horror Films
Short horror films use a bare bones approach to storytelling to craft films to send chills down your spine.

A Tribute to the Sower of Imagination, My Granny
A tribute to the woman who fed me the seeds of creativity and gave me the love for horror, sci-fi, and Jesus.

Prospect: Why I Like Nobledark or Grimbright Better than Cheerful and Corrupt
Prospect is a movie I’d recommend over Rim of the World. I both review Prospect and say why I like its type of tale better.

Free Original Storyworld Ideas, Part 5: GameLit (and Animal Eye)
The relatively new genre of GameLit shows some exciting opportunities for Christian writers of speculative fiction. Cindy Koepp’s new release, Animal Eye, is especially promising…

Hard Time
As with any real life/entertainment contrast, the real world of incarceration doesn’t quite match up with what we see on screen when it comes to prisons and jails.

The Joker in Film: A Case Study in Evil
Joker, the movie, has 11 Oscar nominations. How does it compare with other portrayals of the Joker in film? Which is a “greater evil” and what real-world evil people are they most like?

From the Archives: How Dark is Too Dark?
How dark is too dark? Is it permissible to include horrific and explicit elements in a story intended for the Christian market?

Bird Box: Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid
Is the only way to survive life’s brutal realities to willfully blind oneself to the truth, as in “Bird Box”?

Keeping the Edge Sharp
The word “edgy” is not a friendly word. After all, what has edges? Knives, scalpels, axes. The sharper the edge, the better the cutting tool.
