Egger's has done it again. The new generation Dracula adaptation (albeit an unofficial one) that I've been craving. Nosferatu, both F. W. Murnau’s German expressionist nightmare and Werner Herzog’s na...

"I've long waited for this chance to gain renown, here at the Sakurada Gates!" Film Analysis: Samurai Assassin (1965) by Kihachi Okamoto

Hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming, “Shaun of the Dead” may just be the quintessential zombie film next to the original Dawn of the Dead.

Those games most certainly weren’t funny. 😳😭

It's yet another Mike Flanagan film that left me cold. “Hush” starts out promising but quickly devolves into a generic home invasion thriller that ends up being more tedious than scary. As of now, I c...

Well, that was depressing…and claustrophobic.

It's well shot, and the music is nice, but it's far too heavy-handed with its message. The film devolves into a color-coded mess that becomes more frustrating the longer it sinks in.

It's a slow burn, to be sure, but a very well-done pseudo-documentary that tackles being haunted by trauma and seeking closure following a tragic event. The big scare towards the end of the film got m...

“Occult” doesn't quite reach the quality of Koji Shiraishi’s previous found-footage film, “Noroi: The Curse,” but there's still just enough creepiness and intrigue to be found here to make for a decen...

Tod Browning and Lon Chaney are a match made in heaven.

It is a fun, charming film, especially elevated by Fredric March and Veronica Lake, who are both outstanding here.

Beyond some fun special effects, “Fiend Without a Face” offers little to nothing.

Ugh. I like Wes Craven and love a good low-budget horror film, but “The Last House on the Left” is shallow exploitation trash. If it's not unbearable with its obnoxious music score and irritating tona...

This is a surreal, uncomfortable, and creepy horror coming-of-age story about girlhood terrorized by forces of sinful evil. It is well-made and well-acted, though definitely not for everyone.

“Angst” is one of the most disturbing films ever made and is hard to watch. Yet, rather than function as cheap shock exploitation, it takes viewers on a chilling, shockingly compelling deep dive into ...

“Jennifer’s Body” is most definitely a product of the late 2000s, yet it manages to be an enjoyable dark horror satire with some thoughtful commentary in addition to black comedy horror. Additionally,...

Occasionally creative but overall nothing special and sometimes outright dumb.

Alright, then. That was quite a movie. I was initially on the fence but gradually warmed up to “Lamb.” It's a weird one, that’s for sure, but it's enjoyably unique in its surreality as a dark folktale...

Who would have thought the twin brothers behind RackaRacka would go on to direct a pretty damn good horror film.

One of the most harrowing depictions of grief ever put to film, culminating with one of the most unsettling endings in all of cinema.

It’s chilling watching this film in a post-COVID-19 pandemic reality. “It Comes at Night” effectively plays around with the idea of fear of the unknown and unseen horror while creating an uncomfortabl...

As a found-footage horror film, “The Poughkeepsie Tapes” is a mixed bag. Some sections are chillingly well done and scary, while others are pretty shoddy. Still, it has its terrifying moments that fee...

Robert Egger’s impressive first feature film, “The Witch,” is a horrifying look at religious extremism surrounding an isolated Puritan family who become the target of pure evil.
