Over the years, I’d often see the 1988 film Pin turning up on a lot of “underrated horror movies” lists, and even though I could have sworn I saw it at some point, watching it for this review confirmed that I actually had not. Honestly, I’m sorry I waited so long; I really should have … More Movies: Pin (1988)
Just a couple weeks back, I chose Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy’s second feature film, the supernatural murder mystery Oddity, as one of my top five horror movies of 2024. In that review, I mentioned that since I loved Oddity so much, I was curious to see McCarthy’s 2020 debut Caveat (which is currently streaming on … More Movies: Caveat (2020)
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 had been hearing a fair bit of buzz in the horror community about the 2023 Australian horror thriller You’ll Never Find Me for quite a while, so was happy to see that Shudder added it to their lineup back in March of 2024. It’s the first film directed by Indianna Bell and Josiah Allen, … More Movies: You’ll Never Find Me (2024)
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)
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”
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)
I was eleven years old in 1983 and had just started getting more seriously into horror (as well as beginning my lifelong obsession with new wave, goth, and post-punk music, so I was all off into the whole dark fantasia that would characterize my life up until the present day). I had seen and read … More My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1983
I have to admit that I had never heard of the 2022 film Moon Garden until I heard Jason and Kali talking about it over on Sinister Cinema Reviews; they mentioned it as one of their favorite films of last year. Moon Garden premiered at the Dances with Films Festival in Los Angeles back in … More Movies: Moon Garden (2022)
Not long after I posted my review of Yorgos Lanthimos’s 2017 film The Killing of a Sacred Deer, seemingly everyone and their mama crawled out of the woodwork and told me that I absolutely must make time for an immediate viewing of the latest work from the Greek auteur, 2023’s Poor Things (which is loosely … More Movies: Poor Things (2023)
