Sometimes horror movies take off and become major successes despite relatively small production budgets. Two of the most impressive films at the box office in 2026 fall into that category: Obsession and Backrooms. But what about quality horror movies that don’t take off the same way?

From is a show that seems to be on a slight downward trajectory in terms of quality since its first couple of seasons. It remains totally watchable, but my patience for the show has grown a little bit thin.

Whether you’re in the mood for horror, a war drama based on a true story, or a lighthearted musical comedy, this roundup features three films that are all worth watching.

Though horror and comedy are fairly popular genre combinations, it’s quite hard to successfully blend the two and create a movie or show that’s both genuinely frightening and, at other times, laugh-out-loud funny. I think that for the first few episodes of Widow’s Bay, the show is able to expertly combine the two.

The Man in the High Castle is a four season, 40-episode series that was released on Amazon between early 2015 and the end of 2019. It’s a show with a great concept that’s loosely based on a 1962 Philip K. Dick novel.

Since finishing Robin Hobb’s masterful Realm of the Elderlings books, I’ve been searching for another great fantasy series to read. Leigh Bardugo is a fantasy writer who has written a large number of books in a shared fantasy world, so I was curious to give a couple of her novels a try.

Mind-bending movies are some of my favorite types of films. In some cases, they force viewers to question what’s real and actually going on. In other instances, a story can be mind-bending through the ideas or concepts it presents.

The historical drama has always been one of my favorite TV genres of shows, and since starting this site several years ago, I’ve watched my fair share of series that fall into the category. Here are nine historical drama shows I’d definitely recommend.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a horror comedy that’s neither scary nor funny. When you consider that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie’s 2019 predecessor, Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2 is a major disappointment.

The Curse of Chalion is a 2001 fantasy novel by Lois McMaster Bujold. While it’s officially the first novel in the author’s World of the Five Gods fantasy series, this 442-page book stands completely on its own and tells a complete story.

Having recently watched and enjoyed Season 1 of The Pitt, I was excited to check out this second season. I’m happy to report that this sophomore outing of the medical drama is on par with that initial season in terms of quality. However, there are a few aspects of the show that prevent it from being truly outstanding.

This roundup of graphic novel reviews features crime stories, ghostly musings, and dark fantasy. Though none of these comics truly miss the mark, all three fail to really stand out as fantastic reads.

This April, let’s take a look at three newly streaming 2026 releases. Are any of these films really worth checking out in your allotted movie-viewing hours?

City of Stairs is the first book in Robert Jackson Bennett’s The Divine Cities trilogy. It’s a genre mashup that combines fantasy with mystery and politics.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a refreshing (yet brief) return to the Westeros. A prequel to Game of Thrones, the six-episode series is an adaptation of the first of three novellas in George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg series.

The Books of Babel is an original four-book fantasy series. The first three books are great, but the series is derailed by a disappointing final book.

This month, we’ll review two recently streaming releases along with a film that’s over a decade old that you might have missed.

I’m always on the hunt for quality TV shows to watch. In honor of President’s Day earlier this month, I decided to check out an older miniseries that I’d heard of but had never gotten around to watching: HBO’s John Adams.

This February, we’ll take a look at a trio of newly streaming titles. Featured in this month’s films: the trials and tribulations of a musical duo, an employment situation that’s quite a bit off the wall, and a chimpanzee that goes bananas.

Technically, a period piece is just any film set in a past era. When I think of period piece movies though, I usually first think of films set at least a hundred or so years ago. More specifically, I personally think of movies set in Europe around the years 1700-1900.
