Though widely recognized for her singing (understandably so), I’m continually impressed by Sally Yeh’s versatility as an actress. Whether it’s in “Peking Opera Blues,” “The Killer,” or “I Love Maria.” Truly incredible range!

Regarding Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, the moment they recreated the original's iconic climatic shadow scene, in which Count Orlok creeps through Ellen's home in a reimagined, haunting way, was a chilling recent moviegoing memory that will stay with me.

2024 has been quite a year for Yuumi Kawai, who starred in “A Girl Named Ann” and “Look Back,” giving two very different but equally commendable performances.

Gerald Kargl's Angst is one of the most frightening films I've ever seen. It takes viewers into the horrifying perspective of a deranged psychopath, catapulted by mesmerizing cinematography, an eerie music score by Klaus Schulze, and a chilling performance from Erwin Leder.

Last month, for October this year, I did “Blind 31 Days of Horror,” where I watched a bunch of horror films I hadn’t seen yet until now for each night of the month leading into Halloween. It was quite an interesting experience. Here’s my brief opinion for each film I watched:
