German filmmaker Tilman Singer is a relative newcomer on the scene, previously responsible for two short films (in 2014 and 2016), and the 2018 full-length film Luz (which I saw a while ago and liked okay; we did a review of it here). His latest movie, though, 2024’s Cuckoo, has quietly been turning up on … More Movies: Cuckoo (2024)
I may have mentioned it before, but 2024 has been a hell of a year for horror movies (despite its shittiness in other aspects), and for that reason, I’ve been more keen than usual to keep up with all the buzzy films that have been coming out. I’m even considering doing a year-end “best-of” post … More Movies: Strange Darling (2023)
Way back in the 1990s, I distinctly remember really enjoying a 1995 horror thriller titled Mute Witness; I may have even owned it on DVD at some point, though if I did I have no idea where it eventually disappeared to. I never really heard anyone talking about it, even at the time, so it … More Movies: Mute Witness (1995)
Even though I’m absolutely not religious in any way, shape, or form, I’ve always found something very appealing about the religious horror films of the 60s and 70s, particularly classics like Rosemary’s Baby, The Devils, The Exorcist, and The Omen. One movie along those lines that doesn’t get brought up nearly as much, though, is … More Book vs Movie: The Sentinel
Even though my formative years coincided with the 1980s and even though I’ve always been a sucker for a good made-for-TV horror movie, I admit I had never even heard of 1985’s The Midnight Hour until someone recommended it on a livestream chat. Originally aired on ABC on November 1st, 1985, the film is a … More Movies: The Midnight Hour (1985)
I had been curious about seeing 2013’s WNUF Halloween Special for ages, especially after it kept turning up on “best Halloween movie” lists around the internet. Since it’s almost Halloween, and since Shudder recently added it to their platform, I figured now was as good a time as any. WNUF is one of those movies … More Movies: WNUF Halloween Special (2013)
I’m finally getting back to this series after who knows how long, and if you’re keeping track, that means we’ve arrived at the exalted year of 1984, the year I turned twelve years old. A lot of fantastic movies came out that year, but my top five were pretty easy picks this time around. As … More My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1984
Well, it’s the most wonderful time of the year (October!), so I figured I’d better start focusing on some more Halloween-specific media in the lead-up to the big day (although naturally, speaking as a longtime goth/horror nerd, Halloween is and will always be all year long). I honestly felt like I’d covered most of the … More Movies: Dark Harvest (2023)
So I kept seeing this wonderfully cheesy, 80s-soap-opera-looking horror movie popping up every time I scrolled through Amazon Prime. I could tell it was made for TV just by the presence of a big-haired Susan Lucci on the movie poster and the lovably cheapjack design of the thing, so you knew I had to get … More Movies: Invitation To Hell (1984)
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)
