 | ViciousMovie Review Vicious is a psychological horror that relies on emotional tension and the fear of the unknown. As a woman, I found it particularly compelling how the film explores vulnerability within the home—supposedly the safest place we know. The protagonist embodies the growing terror of someone trapped not only inside her house but inside her own emotional weaknesses. The film builds an unsettling atmosphere from the very beginning, balancing... Read More |
 | The Mad RoomMovie Review The Mad Room (1969), directed by Bernard Girard, is a remake of the 1941 classic gothic thriller Ladies in Retirement, but it’s adapted with a style and a taste for psychological horror typical of the late 1960s. Although not a masterpiece without flaws, the film stands out for its dark atmosphere and the intense performances of its two leading actresses: Stella Stevens and Shelley Winters... Read More |
 | EraserheadMovie Review Eraserhead is not a film; it is a sensory experience and a cathartic journey into the depths of the subconscious. The debut feature by the visionary genius David Lynch, this 1977 film, shot in a magnificent, grainy, high-contrast black and white, redefined the coordinates of art cinema and the cult movie. It is a raw and hypnotic immersion into the most hidden phobias related to fatherhood,... Read More |
 | The Open HouseMovie Review Watching The Open House (2018) feels less like horror and more like an endurance test designed to see how long you can stay awake. Netflix marketed it as suspense, but the only suspense is whether you’ll finish it or hit “stop.” The film drags through endless scenes of people walking around a house, turning lights on and off, and staring blankly into space. It’s the cinematic equivalent of watching paint dry—except paint at least changes color eventually. The characters are paper-thin, their decisions make no sense, and the supposed scares are laughably predictable. And then, just when you think all this buildup might lead to a... Read More |
 | Paura - fearMovie Review Paura is one of those horror films that manages to crawl under your skin and stay there long after the screen goes dark. It is not just a movie—it is an oppressive experience, carefully designed to suffocate the audience with dread. The film’s pacing is deliberate, forcing the viewer to sit in moments of silence, to absorb the creeping atmosphere, and to anticipate the violence that inevitably follows. Its direction is sharp and merciless, never shying away from brutality but always keeping the suspense at the center. Every frame is filled with unease, whether it is a slow shot of an empty corridor, a close-up of terrified eyes... Read More |
 | HellraiserMovie Review Hellraiser (1987), directed by Clive Barker and based on his novella The Hellbound Heart, is a nightmarish journey into pain, pleasure, and the forbidden. The story begins when Frank Cotton, a hedonistic man, solves a mysterious puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration. This opens a gateway to a dimension ruled by the Cenobites—sadomasochistic beings who blur the lines between pleasure and agony. Frank is torn apart, but partially escapes back to the world of the living, hidden in the attic of his family’s home. His brother Larry and wife Julia move into the house, unaware of the horror lurking above. Julia, who once... 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 |
 | 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. |
