Returning to my newer international horror movie kick for this review, I decided to take a look at a film that had piqued my interest when I saw it pop up on Shudder a little while back. I hadn’t pulled the trigger on it immediately, but it so happened that a few days later, a … More Movies: The Devil’s Bath (2024)
Yeah, yeah, I know I’d been on a “new international films” kick with my past few reviews, but for this one, I decided to get back to a genre I’ve been sadly neglecting for quite a while: good old 1970s giallo goodness. Shudder has a decent selection of some more obscure titles, so I chose … More Movies: My Dear Killer (aka Mio Caro Assassino) (1972)
As I mentioned in my post about Thriller episodes, I’ve decided to switch to a one-episode-at-a-time format for both my Thriller series and this Night Gallery series, rather than the six-episode chunks I was tackling before. It’s just a lot less daunting and time-consuming overall. Hope y’all don’t mind. So when we last left Night … More Revisiting Night Gallery: Season 2, Episode 13 – “The Messiah on Mott Street/The Painted Mirror”
Yet another film I had seen a lot of buzz about before noticing it pop up on Shudder recently was the 2023 creature feature Infested. It’s a French film, initially released under the title Vermines, and is the full-length directorial debut of Sébastien Vaniček. The movie got overwhelmingly positive reviews and was financially successful during … More Movies: Infested (aka Vermines) (2023)
I figured it had been a minute since I’d gone delving into Shudder’s newer international fare, so I took a quick look around the internet for some recommendations on the best films currently available on the platform. And pretty universally at the top of many horror sites’ lists was the 2024 South Korean supernatural folk … More Movies: Exhuma (2024)
Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent burst onto the horror landscape back in 2014 with her outstandingly creepy and well-received metaphorical horror film The Babadook (which I reviewed here), so when it came time for her sophomore effort to hit theaters, the community was abuzz, wondering what spooky delights she would come up with this time around. … More Movies: The Nightingale (2018)
As you guys who have been around for a while are aware, I’ve been (very) slowly making my way through the 1960s Thriller series, hosted by Boris Karloff. Though up to now I’ve been making posts and videos discussing six episodes at a time (a tradition I started for reasons I can’t even remember now), … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 2, Episode 7 – “The Last of the Sommervilles”
There was a bit of a convoluted path to how I ended up watching the 2022 thriller Resurrection. Just a bit ago, I watched and reviewed Ti West’s excellent 2023 film Pearl, and afterward, I was watching some YouTube videos from my favorite horror channels about the movie to get some more perspectives on it. … More Movies: Resurrection (2022)
Some time ago, I discussed Ti West’s 2022 retro, porno-tinged slasher X, which I absolutely adored. What many people didn’t know at the time that film came out, however, was that West had co-written a script (with Mia Goth) for a prequel to X as he was working on that film, and even began production … More Movies: Pearl (2022)
Years back, I saw a 1997 thriller called Nightwatch that starred Ewan McGregor, Patricia Arquette, Josh Brolin, and Nick Nolte. I remembered it being pretty decent, and I also vaguely remembered that it was an English-language remake of a foreign film, so I always resolved to check out the original at some point in time. … More Movies: Nightwatch (1994)
