 | The Bad SeedMovie Review The Bad Seed (1956) is a landmark in psychological horror, a chilling and sophisticated exploration of the nature-versus-nurture debate. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy and adapted from Maxwell Anderson’s stage play (itself based on the novel by William March), the film challenges viewers with a terrifying question: can evil be inherited? At the center of the story is Rhoda Penmark, an eerily perfect little girl with pigtails, a crisp dress, and impeccable manners. But beneath her angelic exterior lurks something deeply disturbing. When a classmate dies under suspicious circumstances, Rhoda's mother, Christine, begins to suspect... Read More |
 | the beyondMovie Review “The Beyond” (original title: E tu vivrai nel terrore! L’aldilà) is a masterpiece of surreal Italian horror, directed by the godfather of gore Lucio Fulci. Part of his famous “Gates of Hell Trilogy,” the film is a nightmarish and blood-soaked journey beyond life and death, where logic is abandoned in favor of atmosphere, terror, and intense visual horror. Set in Louisiana, the story centers around an old hotel that turns out to be built over one of the Seven Gates of Hell. When the new owner (played by Catriona MacColl) begins renovations, disturbing and supernatural events begin to unfold. Unexplained deaths, ghostly... Read More |
 | abigailMovie Review “Children can be such monsters” With this provocative tagline, the poster for Abigail introduces us to a horror film that turns childhood innocence into pure terror. At the center is a young ballerina (played by Alisha Weir, known for Matilda the Musical) in a white dress that radiates out like a stage curtain—stained with a vivid, blood-like red. It's a powerful, symbolic, and disturbing visual. What works Atmosphere and visual style: Abigail blends elegance and horror in a surprisingly effective way. The visuals are refined but soaked in tension and gore. Performances: Alisha Weir delivers a... Read More |
 | House of 1000 CorpsesMovie Review Ah, House of 1000 Corpses... also known as: “that time Rob Zombie decided that The House of a Thousand Corpses should be a mix between a metal music video, a haunted house ride, and a cautionary tale about rural tourism gone wrong.” |
 | The Woman in BlackMovie Review There are films that scare you while you watch them. The Woman in Black haunts you afterwards. It’s not just fleeting apparitions or sounds in the mist—it’s a sense of inescapable death that clings to you, a cold that doesn’t fade with daylight. This film doesn’t seek shock. It seeks obsession. It creeps in slowly, like fog that seeps into your bones and never leaves. When the credits roll, one malignant doubt remains: what if she’s still with you, now, behind the screen? Motionless. Patient. Waiting. |
 | ThirstMovie Review Thirst, directed by the South Korean master Park Chan-wook, is a bold and disturbing cinematic work that blends existential drama with gothic horror in a visually striking and morally complex way. Loosely inspired by Émile Zola's novel Thérèse Raquin, the film reinterprets the original story with a decidedly modern and subversive erotic and spiritual charge. Park Chan-wook masterfully uses cinematic language: elegant framing, hypnotic use of color, and violent contrasts between the sacred and the profane. The direction is refined, never indulgent. Blood—a recurring element—is never gratuitous, but takes on symbolic... Read More |
 | DampyrMovie Review Dampyr – When Leather Jackets and Brooding Glares Save the World What do you get when you mix a brooding half-vampire hero, a war-torn Eastern European setting, and more leather than a 2000s rock concert? Dampyr, of course — the movie adaptation of the Italian comic that dares to ask, "What if Blade had an emo cousin who just discovered his powers… and feelings?" The plot is delightfully familiar: Harlan is part-human, part-vampire, and 100% allergic to joy. He teams up with a grumpy soldier and a suspiciously stylish blonde vampire (because even monsters have fashion sense), to fight an ancient evil that looks... Read More |
 | CrawlspaceMovie Review Crawlspace – When horror slips through the air ducts... and into your patience Crawlspace is one of those movies that makes you eye every ventilation grate in your apartment with suspicion. Because yes, in this gem of claustrophobic horror, the real enemy isn’t some otherworldly monster—it’s your neighbor who’s decided to live in the walls (literally). The film pulls off the impressive feat of turning an air duct system into a labyrinth of blood, paranoia, and highly questionable character choices. The protagonists move around as if trapped in an escape room designed by a homicidal interior decorator, and the... Read More |
 | Blood and Black LaceMovie Review Considered one of the pillars of Italian horror cinema, Blood and Black Lace is a visual masterpiece that marked the birth of the giallo all’italiana subgenre. Directed by maestro Mario Bava, the film is an explosion of style, saturated colors and sharp shadows that transform a story of serial murders into a work of visual art. The plot is typically whodunit, but Bava stands out for his innovative use of light and composition of the shot, making each scene a macabre and fascinating tableau. On a narrative level, the plot is perhaps less surprising for the modern viewer, but its visual impact and the tense and... Read More |
