 | BluebeardMovie Review Bluebeard (1972) – One Man, Seven Wives, and Way Too Much Fur Richard Burton is Bluebeard — and honestly, he doesn't seem too upset that every woman he marries ends up... let’s say, unavailable. Then again, when you’ve got a mustache this perfect and a wife collection that ranges from a sadomasochistic nun to a trapeze artist, the real crime is not turning it into a reality show. The film is a kind of gothic horror disguised as a 1970s fashion parade: lace, velvet, dramatic music, and more flashbacks than an entire season of Lost. The plot? He marries them, they ask questions, he gets annoyed... next! Burton... Read More |
 | I Saw the TV GlowMovie Review “I Saw the TV Glow” is a hypnotic, unsettling, and deeply personal cinematic experience, directed by Jane Schoenbrun—already known for their experimental and intimate approach to queer cinema and psychological horror. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the film quickly drew critical attention for its emotional and visual intensity. The film explores dissociation, dysphoria, and identity construction with a surreal and melancholic tone. I Saw the TV Glow is not a traditional horror film, but rather a dreamlike, painful journey into the psyche of someone who never feels truly “real” in their own body or time. ... Read More |
 | Doll houseMovie Review A Domestic Nightmare of Aesthetics and Anxiety In the landscape of contemporary Japanese cinema, Dollhouse by Yaguchi Shinobu stands out as a film that defies the conventions of the psychological thriller, blending the unease of a dark fairytale with the visual delicacy of an intimate drama. Shinobu’s direction is elegant and restrained, yet deeply effective in evoking discomfort through minute details: the cold lighting of the interiors, the symmetrical composition of the shots, the doll’s blank stare that seems to judge, observe — perhaps even understand more than the protagonist herself. The lead actress... Read More |
 | ThirstMovie Review Thirst, directed by the South Korean master Park Chan-wook, is a bold and disturbing cinematic work that blends existential drama with gothic horror in a visually striking and morally complex way. Loosely inspired by Émile Zola's novel Thérèse Raquin, the film reinterprets the original story with a decidedly modern and subversive erotic and spiritual charge. Park Chan-wook masterfully uses cinematic language: elegant framing, hypnotic use of color, and violent contrasts between the sacred and the profane. The direction is refined, never indulgent. Blood—a recurring element—is never gratuitous, but takes on symbolic... Read More |
 | PresenciasMovie Review Presencias is a supernatural thriller that blends classic gothic aesthetics with a modern, psychologically unsettling narrative. Set in an isolated house deep in the woods, the film plays on the duality between what is seen and what is hidden—aptly hinted at by the striking poster, where a mirrored image reveals the disturbing element: an upside-down figure, symbolizing a world turned inside out, where reality loses all certainty. Luis Mandoki’s direction—known for his emotionally resonant touch even in tense dramas—serves the tone of psychological horror well here, with an atmosphere thick with suspense and a haunting...

"What We Do in the Shadows" is a 2014 mockumentary film directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, that will make you laugh and fall in love with the most awkward and hilarious vampires in cinema history!

 | Founders DayMovie Review Blood, Masks, and… Democracy?! If you thought politics was already scary enough, Founders Day takes electoral terror to a whole new level. This slasher with a patriotic twist blends elections, mystery, and a masked serial killer sporting a judge’s wig, ready to enforce his own laws… with a bloody gavel! The tone is a mix between Scream and a presidential debate… except here, if you answer wrong, you don’t just lose votes—you lose your head! The performances are surprisingly solid for an indie horror film, with believable young leads and an antagonist who knows how to leave a lasting impression. The... Read More |
 | My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It ToMovie Review Unlike typical vampire films, My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To focuses more on family drama than conventional fear. The tone is melancholic, with a slow and suffocating narration that immerses the viewer in the anguish of the protagonists. The most disturbing aspect is not the violence itself, but the emotional toll that sacrifice and morality impose on the brothers. Jonathan Cuartas builds a claustrophobic and desolate world, emphasizing the loneliness of the characters through dark photography and a clever use of silence. The setting - an anonymous and decadent suburb - amplifies the sense of isolation and... Read More |
 | The HungerMovie 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 |
 | only lovers left aliveMovie Review If you are fascinated by the world of vampires, this extraordinary dark film is an essential viewing. The film tells the immortal love story between Adam and Eve, masterfully played by Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton. Their afterlife is immersed in a decadent and melancholic atmosphere, where the beauty of art and knowledge clashes with the decadence of contemporary society. With a refined gothic aesthetic and a touch of biting irony, the film is configured as a poetic reflection on the crisis of modern humanity, incapable of preserving the wonders that it has been able to create over the centuries. The slow regression... Read More |
