 | Fright NightMovie Review Fright Night (2011) is a slick, modern reimagining of the 1985 cult vampire classic, bringing fresh energy while respecting the original’s spirit. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film masterfully blends horror, black comedy, and action, creating a tense yet entertaining experience. The story follows Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin), a high school student living in a quiet Las Vegas suburb, whose life takes a terrifying turn when his enigmatic new neighbor, Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell), turns out to be a vampire. Farrell delivers a charismatic yet chilling performance, exuding predatory charm and genuine menace. The pacing is... Read More |
 | rosemary's babyMovie Review Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby (1968) stands as one of the most influential psychological horror films ever made, masterfully combining creeping dread with social commentary. Based on Ira Levin’s novel, the story unfolds in a deceptively ordinary New York apartment building, where newlyweds Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse settle into what appears to be a perfect new life. The film’s brilliance lies in its slow and deliberate pacing, allowing paranoia to grow organically as Rosemary, portrayed with heartbreaking vulnerability by Mia Farrow, begins to suspect that her overly friendly neighbors and even her ambitious husband may be...

 | Sister DeathMovie Review Sister Death is a beautifully eerie and atmospheric horror film that blends religious imagery with ghost story tropes to chilling effect. Paco Plaza creates a world where sacred spaces become sites of trauma, and faith itself is tested through confrontation with unspeakable evil. The film is steeped in dread, using silence, shadow, and suggestion to build tension rather than relying on constant jump scares. Aria Bedmar gives a haunting performance as Narcisa — vulnerable yet courageous — and her transformation into the figure later known as "Sister Death" is both tragic and empowering. The gothic visuals, stark interiors... 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 |
 | OpusMovie Review With Opus, Mark Anthony Green delivers a visionary debut that blends psychological drama, celebrity cult satire, and elegant horror. This is a baroque and unsettling film, set in a world where art becomes power, and talent turns into religion. The story revolves around a mysterious figure—possibly a genius, possibly a manipulator—who leads a select group of individuals through what feels like a creative ritual. The setting is theatrical, oppressive, and dripping with symbolism. Neon lights and stage smoke evoke an atmosphere halfway between a cult and an apocalyptic show. The cast is outstanding: Ayo Edebiri is... Read More |
 | Sleepaway CampMovie Review "You won't be coming home!" Among the most disturbing and controversial cult horror films of the 1980s, Sleepaway Camp stands out for its mix of teen slasher tropes, psychological trauma, and a twist ending that still shocks audiences today. Set in the fictional Camp Arawak, the story follows Angela, a quiet and fragile girl sent to summer camp with her cousin Ricky. Soon, strange and violent accidents begin claiming the lives of campers and counselors, exposing a world of bullying, cruelty, and secrets. But nothing is quite what it seems. Directed by Robert Hiltzik, the film initially appears to be a... Read More |

 | Carnival of SoulsMovie Review Carnival of Souls is a small miracle of American independent cinema. Shot on a shoestring budget and initially released to little success, it has since become a cult classic, revered by filmmakers, critics, and cinephiles alike. This unsettling film blends horror, experimental cinema, and a philosophical meditation on life and death. One of Carnival of Souls' most remarkable elements is its atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from German Expressionist cinema and the work of directors like Ingmar Bergman, Herk Harvey creates a ghostly world where the line between reality and the surreal is constantly blurred. Maurice Prather’s... Read More |
 | Vampire in VeniceMovie Review Vampire in Venice is a 1988 Italian horror film directed by Augusto Caminito and starring Klaus Kinski in the role of the infamous vampire. It is considered an unofficial sequel to Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), also starring Kinski and directed by Werner Herzog. Positive Aspects Venice is used masterfully as a gothic and decaying backdrop. The misty canals and baroque interiors help create a haunting and evocative setting. |
 | Drag Me to HellMovie Review A grotesque descent into moral abyss disguised as supernatural horror. Drag Me to Hell is not just a horror film: it's a cruel parable about judgment and guilt wearing the grotesque mask of a curse. Sam Raimi, with his unmistakable blend of the absurd and the disturbing, crafts a work that crawls under your skin—not because of its demons, but because of the unsettling doubt it leaves behind: how much evil can a good person do to get what they want? The film walks a fine line between genuine terror and deliberately exaggerated farce. The special effects, intentionally old-school at times, harken back to the cult... Read More |
