 | An American Werewolf in LondonMovie Review "An American Werewolf in London" is far more than a simple horror film: it is a cinematic gem that skillfully blends the rawest terror with unexpected and brilliant black humour, creating a unique and unparalleled experience that has stood the test of time beautifully. John Landis, at the peak of his career, directs a work that perfectly balances the horror of the werewolf myth with a disarming and ironic sense of everyday life. The absolute greatest strength of the film lies in the practical... Read More |
 | Ring 0: The BirthdayMovie Review Ring 0: Birthday is a prequel that dares to shift the tone and perspective of the Ring franchise, trading the investigative horror and cursed technology of its predecessors for a tragic character study steeped in psychological tension and creeping dread. Directed by Norio Tsuruta and based on Koji Suzuki’s Birthday short story collection, this 2000 film explores the mysterious past of Sadako Yamamura—the now-iconic vengeful spirit of the series—and offers a deeper, more humanizing look at the monster behind the myth. Set in the 1970s, the story follows Sadako as a quiet, withdrawn young woman attempting to live a normal... Read More |
 | Ghost in the MachineMovie Review Ghost in the Machine (1993) is a unique blend of techno-thriller and horror that explores the terrifying possibilities of early 90s technology. The film centers on a serial killer whose consciousness becomes trapped inside a computer system after his death. What follows is a chilling cat-and-mouse game as he manipulates electronic devices—phones, elevators, computers—to terrorize an unsuspecting family. While the film’s execution sometimes feels uneven, its inventive premise and the creativity of the digital threats keep the tension high throughout. The combination of suspenseful pacing, eerie 90s computer visuals, and inventive... Read More |
 | 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 WardMovie Review The Ward marks the return of horror maestro John Carpenter after nearly a decade-long hiatus, and while it may not reach the heights of his iconic early works, it still showcases his flair for building atmosphere and suspense. The film is a psychological thriller that leans heavily on traditional horror tropes: haunted institutions, unreliable narrators, and a ghost with a grudge. Amber Heard delivers a strong performance as Kristen, portraying a mix of confusion, fear, and determination. The supporting cast—comprised of several other young women institutionalized in the ward—brings variety and tension to the narrative.... Read More |
 | The HauntingMovie Review Jan de Bont’s The Haunting is a glossy, visually ambitious remake of the 1963 classic horror film, itself based on Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House. While the 1999 version boasts an impressive cast and opulent production design, it ultimately fails to deliver consistent tension or meaningful character development. The film follows Eleanor “Nell” Vance (Lili Taylor), a lonely and fragile woman who joins a sleep study conducted by Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson) at the mysterious Hill House. Alongside her are the bold and flirtatious Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and the skeptical Luke (Owen Wilson).... Read More |
 | 13 ghostMovie Review "13 times the thrills, 13 times the screams, 13 times the fun!" boldly proclaims the poster of this bizarre and spectral cinematic experiment from the king of sensational cinema: William Castle. Our tale begins with a modest family that inherits a dilapidated mansion from a mysterious uncle… a mansion inhabited, as one might guess, by thirteen ghosts! But beware, dear audience: these spirits are not visible to the naked eye. To see them, you must wear the extraordinary Ghost Viewer, provided free of charge at the theater entrance! A true stroke of marketing genius, reminiscent of the best traveling shows of the late 19th... 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 |
 | Ghost StoriesMovie Review Ghost Stories is a British psychological horror film adapted from their play of the same name. The film stands out for its disturbing atmosphere, layered narrative and a surprising ending that overturns the viewer's expectations. Dyson and Nyman build a horror that relies more on psychological tension than gratuitous jump scares. The use of lighting, sound and distressing shots contribute to creating a sense of growing unease. Each story has its own visual identity and a different narrative style, reflecting the personal fears of the protagonists. Andy Nyman offers an intense and engaging interpretation, making...

 | SchockMovie Review The latest cinematic chapter of the Italian master Mario Bava, Shock, presents itself as a farewell to his directorial career, emerging from a decade marked by a rebirth of Italian cinema imbued with anger, ambiguity and a fascination for the macabre. The film, a cross between giallo, thriller and horror, is a testimony to that essential contribution of Bava, which had already inspired entire generations of directors. In this work, however, one senses the loss of that personal imprint: the meticulousness in the photography, a distinctive sign that had made the director famous, as well as that bitter irony capable of...
