 | ImmaculateMovie Review Religious horror without demoniacs or exorcisms, played by the new American movie star Sydney Sweeney who also produces here and is the fulcrum of this film... she is perfect in the role with her angelic face that however in the ending, now a cult of this film, is transfigured thus becoming a great "scream queen" almost on the level of Isabelle Adjani in "Possession". |
 | Scream VIMovie Review Sixth chapter of "Scream", and I would say it would be better to end it here, so as not to bore and above all disappoint those, like me, who strongly loved the film created in 1996 by the genius of Wes Craven, already a cult author with "Nightmare". That film invented a real genre of its own, mixing together slasher, teen movie and black comedy, and became a cult object for the millennial generation and beyond. Returning to this last episode that moves the story from the province to the big city in an attempt to make itself more fascinating in the eyes of teenagers, it is perhaps the worst of the entire saga, 2...

 | GhostlandMovie Review 10 years after the traumatic and now cult work "Martyrs", French director Pascar Laugier returns with a rural horror film -home invasion- that takes place within the walls of an old house populated by dolls and lace. |
 | You Should Have LeftMovie Review Psychological thriller based on the novel of the same name by German Daniel Kehlmann, who in turn was inspired by the literary cult "House of Leaves" but wrote a much simpler and shorter, but still interesting, story. |
 | Doctor SleepMovie Review Direct sequel to Stanley Kubrick's cult film "The Shining" based on Stephen King's novel and always hated by him for the many liberties taken in the screenplay compared to the original text. Directed by Mike Flanagan, a horror expert (Oculus 2013). Unfortunately, the comparison with the 1980 film does not hold up. The narration is too classic and tasteless and the nostalgia factor does not fascinate as it would like, furthermore the film is too long and slow. But the many horror and supernatural scenes are of great quality and are truly disturbing, so much so that they gave me bad nightmares. The cast is good, although I do not... Read More |
 | MidsommarMovie Review This atypical Horror takes place in a bucolic and sunny setting, which systematically overturns all the canons of the genre, while we seem to simply watch a dramatic story we enter a world outside the world... Where folklore turns into grotesque and unexpected splatter scenes hit you like punches in the stomach, all seasoned with a ferocious humor. |
 | MaxxxineMovie Review The film is the last chapter of a trilogy that always stars the talented Mia Goth, here supported by a great cast of actors, especially Kevin Bacon. |
 | RitualMovie Review A married couple with a complicated relationship, a corpse, and a room at a less than reputable motel. It’s a classic formula for a horror movie that’s no doubt familiar for many genre fans. It’s also the set-up for Mickey Keating’s 2013 film, Ritual. Ritual is the 14th original film distributed by After Dark Originals. It stars Dean Cates (Pod) and... Read More |
 | Kairo (Pulse)Movie Review It’s safe to say that we’ve created our share of iconic horror characters here in America. Horror icons like Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Michael Myers (Halloween), or Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th) are so highly recognizable, that they’re pretty much synonymous with the mere concept of a horror movie. Even so, no country handles horror quite like Japan does. Japanese horror films have a much-deserved reputation for... Read More |
 | The ShrineMovie Review The Shrine is the type of film that comes complete with lots of familiar horror tropes an avid genre lover will recognize. You’ve got the mysterious disappearance of a traveler under mysterious circumstances, as well as a team of people seeking answers as to the details of those circumstances. You’ve got a remote village in a foreign land populated by strange people who raise an eyebrow or two thanks to their mysterious beliefs and practices. Scares, jumps, and mysteries abound as the protagonists attempt to make sense of it all. Given those facts, the plotline of... Read More |
