I've been a fan of Steve Oram ever since Sightseers. His knack for balancing humor, discomfort, and genuine humanity made him one of the most compelling screen presences working in independent film. So when the opportunity came to sit down and discuss Simon Rumley's Crushed, it was an easy yes.

For fans of the Creep franchise, few creative partnerships have proven as enduring or as uniquely unsettling as that of Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass. What began as a small experimental found-footage film has evolved into a sprawling horror franchise, culminating in the latest season of The Creep Tapes. During a recent conversation with Patrick Brice, he reflected on the longevity of the series, the creative freedom that continues to fuel it, and what might still lie ahead for one of horror's most unpredictable characters.

One of the most rewarding parts of Fantastic Fest is discovering films that refuse to fit neatly into a single box, and Littermates is exactly that kind of film. Blending dystopian science fiction, dark comedy, family drama, and coming-of-age storytelling, the feature continually surprises while remaining anchored by the emotional relationship at its center. I recently had the chance to sit down with co-directors Scott Tinkham and Michael Woloson, and much like their film, the conversation was thoughtful, funny, and filled with unexpected turns.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Obsession is how deeply family is woven into its DNA. While audiences have become captivated by the mystery of the One Wish Willow and the film's layered storytelling, many may not realize that one of the movie's most iconic creations came from the hands of Amy Evans-Vega, a graphic designer, illustrator, mother of writer-director Curry Barker, and one of the earliest creative collaborators on the project. As the designer behind the now-famous One Wish Willow packaging, Amy helped create a prop that has become every bit as memorable as the film itself.

Few independent horror films have built the kind of passionate following that Frogman has earned over the last several years. What began as a low-budget labor of love from director Anthony Cousins and his collaborators has grown into a genuine cult phenomenon, with Frogman Returns expanding the mythology in surprising ways and leaving audiences eager to see where the story goes next. At the center of it all is Nathan Tymoshuk, whose portrayal of Dallas Kyle has become synonymous with the franchise itself.

There are certain actors who elevate every project they touch, and Jason Isaacs has long been one of them. While many audiences know him from the Harry Potter franchise or more recently The White Lotus, his latest role in The Salt Path may be one of the most affecting performances of his career. Based on the memoir by Raynor Winn, the film follows Raynor and her husband Moth after they lose their home and face a devastating medical diagnosis, setting out on a 630-mile journey along England's South West Coast Path.

There are interviews you look forward to, and then there are interviews that feel surreal. Sitting down with Spider One and Krsy Fox to discuss Big Baby was firmly in the latter category for me. Long before Spider One was building horror films through OneFox Productions, he was fronting Powerman 5000.

Every great film has that one performance audiences can't stop talking about. For Obsession, the viral thriller from director Curry Barker, that performance belongs, unquestionably, to Malcolm Kelner's bartender. What began as a brief appearance in the film's opening moments has somehow evolved into one of the internet's favorite running jokes, spawning memes, fan theories, social media discourse, and a level of celebrity that Kelner has embraced with remarkable confidence.

There are few people more synonymous with storm chasing than Reed Timmer. For decades, audiences have watched him barrel toward some of nature's most violent phenomena in pursuit of science, understanding, and, admittedly, a little adrenaline. But Never Stop Chasing isn't simply another film about tornadoes.

There are filmmakers who make movies because they love storytelling, and then there are filmmakers who seem genuinely in love with the medium itself. After speaking with Nat Boltt about her feature directorial debut, Holy Days, it quickly became clear that she falls into the latter category. Known to many audiences as the unforgettable Penelope Blossom from Riverdale and for her work in films like District 9, Boltt has spent decades in front of the camera.
