 | 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 |
 | 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 |
 | HouseMovie Review "House" – Where Horror Rings the Doorbell (With a Rotten Finger!) If you thought moving was stressful, wait until you see what happens when Roger Cobb opens the door of his house in House! This little gem from the '80s mixes horror, comedy, and a touch of pure madness with the charm of a film that knows not to take itself too seriously – and that’s exactly why it works so well. Imagine being a tormented ex-soldier and writer who moves into his late aunt’s old house… only to find the place is more haunted than a paranormal convention. Doors opening by themselves? Check. Zombie hands ringing the doorbell? Check.... 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 |
 | The babyMovie Review From the first shots of “The Baby” you can feel a whisper of madness, as if the camera were peering through a crack in the soul. The corridor to the nursery is lit by an unnaturally warm light, but at the center is him: a man trapped in a grotesque baby suit, crying a strangled and inarticulate moan, clinging to wooden bars like an anchor of despair. The protagonist, Ann (Anjanette Comer), is dragged into this ghostly asylum of horrors with the lightness of a breeze, but here her smile cracks. The walls, covered in peeling wallpaper, seem to pulsate with visionary memories: muffled voices, ghostly laughter, the cries of... Read More |
 | The Abominable Dr. PhibesMovie Review The Abominable Dr. Phibes, directed by Robert Fuest, is a jewel of British horror cinema that combines gothic, grotesque and black humor in a fascinating and macabre mix. Played by a charismatic Vincent Price, the film tells the story of the eccentric and brilliant Dr. Anton Phibes' revenge against the doctors he believes are responsible for his wife's death. The plot develops as a series of murders inspired by the plagues of Egypt, an idea as ingenious as it is disturbing, which gives life to visually surprising sequences. The baroque aesthetic, with rich sets and saturated colors, creates a dreamlike and surreal... Read More |
 | What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?Movie Review Based on the novel by Henry Farrell released in 1960, the film is considered the progenitor of the psycho-biddy subgenre where the protagonists are mentally unstable elderly women, ready to terrorize the unfortunate ones on duty. Playing the disturbing sisters in this psychological thriller, a small jewel of genre cinema, are an unforgettable Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, great Hollywood stars now in their twilight years. Despite being free of bloody or macabre scenes, the film is a hallucinatory journey through sadism, madness and family resentments... Claustrophobic, having shot in black and white makes the face of the great... Read More |
 | MidsommarMovie Review This atypical Horror takes place in a bucolic and sunny setting, which systematically overturns all the canons of the genre, while we seem to simply watch a dramatic story we enter a world outside the world... Where folklore turns into grotesque and unexpected splatter scenes hit you like punches in the stomach, all seasoned with a ferocious humor. |
 | Dream scenarioMovie Review Produced by Ari Aster. We find a great Nicolas Cage thrown into a story so absurd that it is hard to believe it is based on a true story. The film moves brilliantly between the horror, surreal comedy and drama genres in a disturbing atmosphere bordering on the grotesque, both the comical situations and the disturbing and mysterious ones are very successful. All emphasized by an evocative soundtrack. Absolutely worth seeing. |
 | The Pope's ExorcistMovie Review An investigative horror/thriller with strong supernatural undertones, but for those expecting something similar to the famous 1973 Exorcist, you will be disappointed, this is a much lighter product and I say thank goodness! The entire staging is on the shoulders of a self-deprecating, charming and effective protagonist, aided by a bass drum of special effects especially in the second part, arriving at an almost grotesque ending. Ultimately I would say a film with a high level of entertainment and often even funny that does not want to offer anything more than that. |
