	Sleepaway Camp Movie 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
	High-Rise Movie Review The Dark Side of Progress Directed by Ben Wheatley and based on the visionary novel by J.G. Ballard, High-Rise is a disturbing descent into urban anarchy and human madness, disguised as architectural progress. Behind the brutalist façade of the high-rise – a symbol of modernity and luxury – lies a horror story masked as social satire. A disturbing, claustrophobic atmosphere From the very beginning, the film conveys a constant sense of unease. The closed-off setting of the tower, with its oppressive architecture, contributes to a lingering discomfort. Each floor represents a social class, and the higher you... Read More
	Phantasm Movie Review The Immortal Nightmare of the Tall Man A forgotten classic? Only by those who haven’t seen it. Phantasm is one of those films that carved its place in the hearts of horror fans with a unique blend of dream logic, nightmare fuel, and surrealism. Directed by Don Coscarelli at only 23 years old, the film has become a true cult classic, spawning four sequels and introducing one of horror’s most haunting villains: the Tall Man. Atmosphere of a nightmare Phantasm is not a straightforward film. It doesn’t aim for perfect narrative logic, and that’s exactly where its strength lies. It’s a filmed nightmare,... Read More
	The Omen Movie Review The film builds to a crescendo of anxiety and fear without the need for excessive jump scares, thanks to a refined direction and a soundtrack (composed by Jerry Goldsmith) that has become iconic. Gregory Peck and Lee Remick offer convincing performances that give credibility to the story. Little Damien (Harvey Stephens) is perfectly disturbing. Some sequences, such as the death of the priest and that of the nanny, are still among the scariest in the history of cinema. The Omen is a psychological horror that plays on religious fears and the inevitability of fate. With a well-constructed narrative and a terrifying... Read More
	The Hunger Movie Review Based on the novel of the same name by Whitley Strieber, the film is a sensual and decadent reinterpretation of the vampire myth, characterized by a refined aesthetic and a disturbing atmosphere. The film is a hypnotic visual experience, with an aesthetic style that mixes gothic with 80s glamour. The use of soft lighting, luxurious settings and an evocative soundtrack (including Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus) help to create a sense of alienation and mystery. Tony Scott, in his directorial debut, favours the visual and atmospheric side over traditional storytelling, transforming the film into a sensorial work that focuses... Read More
	Deep red Movie Review Dario Argento, with Deep Red, creates one of the cornerstones of the Italian giallo, a film that mixes thriller and horror with a visual and narrative mastery that is still unmatched today. It was March 7, 1975 when it arrived for the first time in Italian cinemas, the film consolidated the director's success and laid the foundations for his unmistakable style, made of saturated colors, bold shots and a tension that grows until the final explosion. One of the most iconic aspects of the film is undoubtedly the soundtrack by Goblin, a mix of progressive rock and electronic sounds that amplify the sense of anguish and mystery... Read More
	Nosferatu Movie 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
	Doctor Sleep Movie Review Direct sequel to Stanley Kubrick's cult film "The Shining" based on Stephen King's novel and always hated by him for the many liberties taken in the screenplay compared to the original text. Directed by Mike Flanagan, a horror expert (Oculus 2013). Unfortunately, the comparison with the 1980 film does not hold up. The narration is too classic and tasteless and the nostalgia factor does not fascinate as it would like, furthermore the film is too long and slow. But the many horror and supernatural scenes are of great quality and are truly disturbing, so much so that they gave me bad nightmares. The cast is good, although I do not... Read More
	Candyman Movie Review Sequel to "Candyman" from 1992, based on the story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker which was in turn inspired by a popular belief. Candyman is an iconic character especially for African-American audiences, a sort of Freddy Krueger but with a big hook instead of blades. I loved the original film, but this one is not bad at all, a sharp and ruthless film, crossed by a constant and growing uneasiness, without an excessive use of splatter it is still visually hallucinatory. Excellent direction by the unknown Nia Da Costa and the performances of the cast.
	Longlegs Movie Review A satanic and unrecognizable Nicolas Cage in one of the most complex and successful horror films of the year. Oz Perkins, son of the iconic Anthony (Psycho) directs a horror for adults, finally without screaming and laughing teenagers. Very beautiful images in a sulphurous, depressing and morbid atmosphere... it reminds us of cornerstones such as "The Silence of the Lambs" in particular for how it proposes the detective-killer scheme. A cynical film, about the fall of illusions instilled in us as children by weak mothers, and it is the detective's mother who formulates this phrase to her now adult daughter... "... Read More
