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. | |
Willy's WonderlandMovie Review Nicolas Cage in this film does not say a word from beginning to end, making him even more convincing, the film is completely focused on him, and I say fortunately because it is certainly not a masterpiece, but something original with crude humor, vaguely perverse and in its own way intelligent. A great and safe entertainment for teenagers this B movie where we find a lot of action, splatter, the Final Girl and the hero / anti-hero, in a disturbing setting, with terrifying but also funny monsters, all reminiscent of the low budget films of the 80s. The splatter characterized by liters of blood and rudimentary special effects... Read More | |
RenfieldMovie Review Renfield is a tribute that is a bit splatter and a bit black comedy to the classic vampire horror films where in the role of Count Dracula we find an eccentric Nicolas Cage thirty years after his performance in "Vampire's Kiss" and in that of the servant Nicholas Hoult. Stuffed with fight scenes where heads and limbs fly endlessly in the long run it is repulsive and boring, the film is worth watching only for the two good and charming protagonists, who move through seductive sets in a very 80s atmosphere that I like so much. Finally I can only say that my great expectations for this film were unfortunately disappointed. | |
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. | |
Velvet BuzzsawMovie Review Netflix product halfway between comedy and splatter... Horror satire on the world of contemporary art, I would say a "unique piece" in the panorama of the subgenre, set between the walls of luxurious American galleries. The atmosphere goes from a gloomy purple to a sunny heat, it feels like being on a carousel that goes up and down between laughter and fear. Jake Gyllenhaal always excellent, he perfectly embodies the role of a cynical and mellifluous art critic like never before. | |
CandymanMovie Review Sequel to "Candyman" from 1992, based on the story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker which was in turn inspired by a popular belief. | |
HolidaysMovie Review Don't let the trailers fool you, this was not a fun movie to watch. | |
Green InfernoMovie Review I must admit The Green Inferno had such promise. I heard a lot about it before the screening, and was obviously thrilled at the Cannibal Holocaust comparison. It’s such a shame that I didn’t enjoy this more than I did. It’s got a strong start, setting the scene nicely up in this bitch (you’ll get that later – line of the year, ammaright Mitch?), beginning with a well executed plane crash scene, which seemed to genuinely impress all. Then followed some actually scary, skin crawling action when the kids meet the villagers. This is where it lost me. What should have been a terrifying turn of events, drawing on... Read More | |
Wolf CreekMovie Review I had a hard time watching "Wolf Creek." It is a film with one clear purpose: To establish the commercial credentials of its director by showing his skill at depicting the brutal tracking, torture and mutilation of screaming young women. When the killer severs the spine of one of his victims and calls her "a head on a stick," I wanted to walk out of the theater and keep on walking. It has an 82 percent "fresh" reading over at the Tomatometer. "Bound to give even the most seasoned thriller seeker nightmares" (Hollywood Reporter). "Will have Wes Craven bowing his head in shame" (Clint Morris). "Must be giving Australia's... Read More | |
Blood PigsMovie Review Brian Paulin is slowly, but surely, making a name for himself in the horror business. Hardcore gore fans will probably already be familiar with some of his previous work, including Bone Sickness and Fetus. He steps it up another notch with Blood Pigs, a different kind of zombie film that he wrote and directed in 2010. I can tell you two things right away about this movie that will make you want to watch it. First off, there is no CGI used in this film (that alone is enough to pique my interest). Not only that, but Blood Pigs was also voted the goriest movie of 2010 by readers of Rue Morgue magazine. If that isn’t a one-two punch... Read More |
