Beautifully, transcendently dumb. I have a tiny part in this as "FK #1" (Freako killer), alongside my pals Elliott (FK #2) and Stuart (Major FK), and it is no exaggeration to say that having a couple of small lines as a silly little puppet creature in a comedy-horror(ish)…

Is it possible to recreate a retro genre film so perfectly that it damages its relevance to current audiences? An homage to the “mischievous / dangerous” small-creature genre the likes of Gremlins, Ghoulies, and Puppet Master and set sometime in the mid-late 1980s, the…

At a time when horror can feel like a studio executive’s dumping ground for cheap work and attempts at genre-bending may make less business sense, it’s a thrill to see a director like Kostanski go for broke on an absurd pitch and take the execution as seriously as Ridley Scott would on a historical epic.
