 | The Last Man on EarthMovie Review The film, based on the famous novel by Richard Matheson I Am Legend, manages to recreate the atmosphere of the book well, despite the limited budget. The Italian director Ubaldo Ragona does a better job than the more famous Boris Sagal, who made The Omega Man a few years later. This is probably due to the fact that Vincent Price, very comfortable in an Italian co-production, surpasses the talented Charlton Heston. With his usual theatricality, Price offers a performance reminiscent of silent films, particularly effective in the part where he is alone, for half the film. The first part is very suggestive, thanks to the beautiful... Read More |
 | NosferatuMovie Review Remake of the 1922 German silent expressionist film classic "Nosferatu the Vampyre", loosely based on the novel Dracula (1897) by Irish writer Bram Stoker. For me, who saw the 1979 cult movie "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht", the comparison with this new version is inevitable, which did not excite me. The aforementioned was certainly much simpler and poorer in its sober and perhaps even a little squalid staging and focused a lot on the perverse and disturbing charm of the protagonists, the beautiful Isabelle Adjani and the damned Klaus Kinski. Here, however, the exact opposite happens, the film is nominated... Read More |
 | OldMovie Review Adaptation of a French graphic novel "Sand Castle" that Shyamalan wanted to make at all costs but with little means available. It is a low-budget film, and this is evident from the, unfortunately, anonymous cast. Too bad with at least one star as the protagonist surely the final result would have been even more interesting, however excellent psychological thriller/horror, distressing and at times chilling even if there is little of true horror ... It is an allegorical film that makes you reflect on critical themes for everyone such as the nature of time that passes inexorably, pain and mortality. |
 | The Invisible ManMovie Review The latest adaptation, a great success, of the famous novel of the same name written in 1897 by H. G. Wells. Adapted to our days to talk about stalking... And to immerse us in the furious and anguished fight of a woman, played to perfection by Elisabeth Moss, against her tormentor. It is likely that the female audience may feel disturbed by the vision, as it happened to me, and want to change the channel, but don't do it! The film is worth it in every sense, suggestive photography and excellent direction (Whannell is best known for having created the thriller-horror saga Saw with James Wan) and above all repeated twists. Not to... Read More |
 | 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. |
 | Late Night with the DevilMovie Review Late Night with the Devil by directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes uses a retro TV show setting to create an unnerving atmosphere that draws viewers into a slowly intensifying horror. The film’s attention to detail, from the 70s grainy footage style to shifting between black-and-white and color, sets the tone perfectly. The clever cinematography immerses audiences as if they’re watching a live broadcast unraveling in real time, a technique that intensifies the suspense, especially during the eerie "commercial breaks." David Dastmalchian’s portrayal of Jack Delroy is a highlight, conveying both desperation and a... Read More |
 | 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 |
 | Dead AwakeMovie Review Whether you’ve personally experienced it or simply heard your share of other people’s horror |
 | Pet SemataryMovie Review Whether you’re the type of person who loves remakes or simply the type who loves to hate them, it’s highly likely that 2019’s Pet Sematary is on your radar for one reason or another if you’re into horror. It’s directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer (who also directed Starry Eyes) and is, of course, a reboot of the classic Stephen King film... 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 |
