Dracula
 | DraculaMovie Review Luc Besson’s Dracula is an ambitious and visually stunning reinterpretation of Bram Stoker’s immortal classic. The film brings the timeless gothic tale into a modern cinematic vision without losing the essence of its haunting atmosphere. From the very first frame, the movie captivates with its dark elegance, refined cinematography, and breathtaking production design. The story follows the mysterious Count Dracula, who emerges from the shadows of his ancient castle to pursue love, immortality, and revenge. Jonathan Harker, Mina, and Van Helsing are reimagined with intensity and depth, each character enriched by nuanced... Read More |
 | FreaksMovie Review Freaks, directed by Tod Browning in 1932, is one of the most controversial, revolutionary, and disturbing films in cinema history. Made during a period when Hollywood was experimenting with new forms of storytelling after the arrival of sound, Browning’s work hit audiences like a punch to the gut, so much so that it was censored, cut, and banned in several countries for decades. The film is set in a traveling circus and tells the story of a group of performers with real physical deformities — not actors in makeup, but actual sideshow performers — who live as a close-knit and supportive community. The plot centers around... Read More |
 | NosferatuMovie Review A Gothic Masterpiece of Terror by Robert Eggers With "Nosferatu", Robert Eggers delivers a visually and narratively hypnotic film, capable of revisiting the iconic vampire myth with stylistic elegance and rare emotional intensity in contemporary cinema. The director, already acclaimed for The Witch and The Lighthouse, once again proves his talent for creating dense, disturbing, and magnetic atmospheres. Bill Skarsgård is simply terrifying as Count Orlok, a character who embodies the essence of horror without the need for excess. His screen presence is as haunting as it is tragic, and stands out as one of the most... Read More |
 | RenfieldMovie Review Renfield is a tribute that is a bit splatter and a bit black comedy to the classic vampire horror films where in the role of Count Dracula we find an eccentric Nicolas Cage thirty years after his performance in "Vampire's Kiss" and in that of the servant Nicholas Hoult. Stuffed with fight scenes where heads and limbs fly endlessly in the long run it is repulsive and boring, the film is worth watching only for the two good and charming protagonists, who move through seductive sets in a very 80s atmosphere that I like so much. Finally I can only say that my great expectations for this film were unfortunately disappointed. |
 | Occhiali neri/ Dark GlassesMovie Review "Dark Glasses": Between Stylistic Revival and Narrative Collapse The return of Dario Argento behind the camera with "Dark Glasses" ten years after "Dracula 3D" was an anticipated event, and the first part of the film initially seems to satisfy that expectation. The setting in **Rome**, a city flooded by an eclipse and immediately afterwards wrapped in a nocturnal and vicious atmosphere, is the perfect canvas for a classic Italian giallo. The opening sequences, with the introduction of Diana, a luxury escort (played by a good and likable Ilenia Pastorelli), and the immediate threat of a serial killer, unmistakably recall...

 | AfflictedMovie Review Since watching this modern day vampire movie about a month back I have encountered numerous reviews that seemed not to ‘get’ the film in any way! I think a lot of these so called ‘big film review’ sites have an agenda against Found Footage horror movies. Just to make it clear to the reviewers out there, this is actually a Modern Day Vampire Movie so maybe try including that in your review. Don’t try to put perspective fans off by slating a film you did not enjoy by not including the most important film element within your review! Now we’ve go that out of the way I should really get into the ‘guts’ of this... Read More |
 | Let the Right One InMovie Review As Let the Right One In opens in a suburb of Stockholm during the 1980s, 12-year old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) shows all the signs of being on the road to turning into a Columbine killer. He's a loner who is relentlessly bullied at school. His parents, who are divorced, pay him only as much attention as they can fit into their busy schedules. And his hobby is cutting out articles about murders from the local paper and pasting them into a scrapbook. This is not normal behavior even for a socially awkward boy on the cusp of adolescence. But then things take an uplifting turn. Enter Eli (Lina Leandersson), who, along with her... Read More |

 | Johnny Depp to Resurrect The Invisible ManHorror News Title: Johnny Depp To Resurrect The Invisible Man When Universal first released The Invisible Man back in 1933, the material was actually somewhat fresh. It was based on a sci-fi/horror novel by H.G. Wells that had been published in 1897, meaning it was really among the first mainstream book-to-screen adaptations of old Hollywood. The film, which you can actually find in its entirety online, was a success, viewed both as an artful interpretation of Wells's work and as a strong standalone movie. It also fit in with Universal's broader tendency to produce monster films—and that's why it's become particularly relevant again today.... Read More |
