![]() | Founders DayMovie Review Blood, Masks, and… Democracy?! If you thought politics was already scary enough, Founders Day takes electoral terror to a whole new level. This slasher with a patriotic twist blends elections, mystery, and a masked serial killer sporting a judge’s wig, ready to enforce his own laws… with a bloody gavel! The tone is a mix between Scream and a presidential debate… except here, if you answer wrong, you don’t just lose votes—you lose your head! The performances are surprisingly solid for an indie horror film, with believable young leads and an antagonist who knows how to leave a lasting impression. The... Read More |
![]() | My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It ToMovie Review Unlike typical vampire films, My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To focuses more on family drama than conventional fear. The tone is melancholic, with a slow and suffocating narration that immerses the viewer in the anguish of the protagonists. The most disturbing aspect is not the violence itself, but the emotional toll that sacrifice and morality impose on the brothers. Jonathan Cuartas builds a claustrophobic and desolate world, emphasizing the loneliness of the characters through dark photography and a clever use of silence. The setting - an anonymous and decadent suburb - amplifies the sense of isolation and... Read More |
![]() | The HungerMovie Review Based on the novel of the same name by Whitley Strieber, the film is a sensual and decadent reinterpretation of the vampire myth, characterized by a refined aesthetic and a disturbing atmosphere. The film is a hypnotic visual experience, with an aesthetic style that mixes gothic with 80s glamour. The use of soft lighting, luxurious settings and an evocative soundtrack (including Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus) help to create a sense of alienation and mystery. Tony Scott, in his directorial debut, favours the visual and atmospheric side over traditional storytelling, transforming the film into a sensorial work that focuses... Read More |
![]() | only lovers left aliveMovie Review If you are fascinated by the world of vampires, this extraordinary dark film is an essential viewing. The film tells the immortal love story between Adam and Eve, masterfully played by Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton. Their afterlife is immersed in a decadent and melancholic atmosphere, where the beauty of art and knowledge clashes with the decadence of contemporary society. With a refined gothic aesthetic and a touch of biting irony, the film is configured as a poetic reflection on the crisis of modern humanity, incapable of preserving the wonders that it has been able to create over the centuries. The slow regression... Read More |
![]() | MagicMovie Review A disturbing psychological thriller that mixes horror and tension, with a sinister puppet and a young Anthony Hopkins in one of his most intense performances. To get into the role, the British actor immersed himself in the study of ventriloquism techniques, giving his character a tormented and vulnerable depth. His hypnotic gaze and his ability to convey complex emotions make the performance unforgettable. Behind the camera, Richard Attenborough orchestrates the story with almost surgical precision, enhancing every detail and giving the story an unusual realism for the genre. The relationship between the ventriloquist and... Read More |
![]() | Hush... Hush, sweet CharlotteMovie Review It was supposed to be the natural sequel to the cult film "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?", but Joan Crawford backed out, and Robert Aldrich, also a producer, chose Olivia de Havilland as a replacement, giving her a role far from her usual "women in distress". Once again based on a novel by Henry Farrell, the film does not reach the originality and impact of its predecessor, but it remains one of the best products born in the wake of that success. Not only for the remarkable performance of Bette Davis but also for the intricate plot, centered on the psychological duel between the protagonists, full of twists and with a well-... Read More |

![]() | 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. |
![]() | 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 |
![]() | A Quiet PlaceMovie Review There are movies that take their time building a mood and movies that pull you right into their carefully crafted worlds pretty much right away. John Krakinski’s A Quiet Place is definitely the latter. The first thing the viewer sees is a barefoot family scavenging for supplies in the middle of an abandoned supermarket. However, they’re doing so completely silently – not exactly average for a family that includes three children. We’re promptly informed via a title card that we’re on “Day 89” of whatever’s going on and with that, our journey into this very quiet world... Read More |
