About Daniel Kurland

Daniel Kurland is a freelance writer, comedian, and critic, whose work can be read on Bloody Disgusting, Den of Geek, Vulture, CBR, and across the Internet. Daniel knows that The Fly II can hold its own with the original and that Fringe out-X-Files The X-Files at its own game. He's always happy to discuss Takashi Miike deep cuts, convoluted Paranormal Activity lore, or why Final Destination is the most consistent horror franchise of all-time. The owls are not what they seem.
