Mysterious
 | 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. |
 | FirestarterMovie Review Based on Stephen King's novel, it had already been brought to the cinema in 1984, starring a very young Drew Barrymore arriving from the set of E.T., with terrible results. 40 years later, things are not better, after all we know that Blumhouse production specializes in low-budget horror, and it shows! From the special effects, to the acting, to the settings, everything is bland without ideas or emotions. The only thing that is saved from the film is the soundtrack by the great John Carpenter (who in '84 should have directed it, but who was unfortunately replaced). |
 | Dream scenarioMovie Review Produced by Ari Aster. We find a great Nicolas Cage thrown into a story so absurd that it is hard to believe it is based on a true story. The film moves brilliantly between the horror, surreal comedy and drama genres in a disturbing atmosphere bordering on the grotesque, both the comical situations and the disturbing and mysterious ones are very successful. All emphasized by an evocative soundtrack. Absolutely worth seeing. |
 | The WatchersMovie Review Feature film debut by Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of the more famous M. Night. Freely adapted from the fantasy-horror novel of the same name by A. M. Shine, the film boasts an evocative and disturbing atmosphere and is not lacking in twists. Well done Dakota Fanning. The pace, however, is fluctuating and some passages are a little confusing, perhaps due to the director's inexperience, but as a first effort, it's still not bad. |
 | PioveMovie Review The film makes us sink into the life of a family in disarray, where anger and depression take over. In the background a gray, rainy, embittered Rome. Horror that goes deep, both to scare and to make you think, a genre of film that is rarely seen and innovative. Beautiful photography and excellent performances. |
 | 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 wellMovie Review The twilight settings and the acting performances even of the minor roles are very appreciable, some scenes in the finale give a touch perhaps unintentionally funny that I personally appreciate a lot in horror films. A simple but well-crafted story, with realistic dialogues, the long gore scenes in the film could disturb those like me who do not appreciate them but prefer dark atmospheres and mystery, which are not lacking anyway. A low-budget production that does not disappoint but rather transports us to the past of an Italian genre cinema that is now almost defunct. |
 | Gretel & HanselMovie Review Anyone familiar with the original versions of classic fairy tales like “Hansel and Gretel” already knows that they have lots of horror movie potential. As a rule though, most attempts to capture these tales on film tend to miss the mark. It’s clear from the conspicuous reversal of the titular names that Gretel & Hansel hopes to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack right from the get-go, but does it actually do the job, or are you better off spending 90 minutes of your time on some other film? ...

 | 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 |
