The film The Purge is not merely an exercise in horror and suspense, but a provocative social thriller built upon a concept as chilling as it is brilliant: twelve hours a year when all crime is legal, known as "The Purge." This mechanism is a brilliant, dystopian mirror reflecting the deep class inequalities and moral hypocrisies of American society.

![]() | The Rule of Jenny PenMovie Review The Rule of Jenny Pen is a deeply unsettling and visually arresting psychological thriller that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.

![]() | 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 |
![]() | Les Yeux sans visageMovie Review Based on the novel of the same name by Jean Redon, this little gem that lasts just over an hour is a fundamental film for the development of modern horror, among all it has inspired John Carpenter's "halloween". The film is poetic but also damn cruel in its elegant black and white, the scene of the surgical operation anticipates today's extreme cinema by a long way, in fact the critics of the time called it vile and gruesome... But the film is above all a horror with strong psychological elements. At the center of the story are the sense of guilt, an unhealthy gratitude and the disturbing sensation of no longer recognizing... Read More |
![]() | CandymanMovie Review In this unfairly forgotten film, Bernard Rose proposes a terrible genius loci: in fact a popular area (Cabrini-Green) seems to be manned by Candyman, a bloodthirsty spirit that guts with a hook anyone who summons him in front of the mirror. Helen finds him out by chance, collecting interviews for her thesis on contemporary folklore. After discovering that some years earlier, precisely in the Cabrini-Green, some violent homicides remained unpunished, Helen hypothesizes to have mistakenly collected only narratives, concerning real events that have been modified, year by year, by word of...

![]() | Horror Movies to Watch on this Christmas 2017Horror News Black Christmas (1974) Getting stabbed by a unicorn head to the ghostly tune of carolers singing “Silent Night” is probably not how you want to spend Christmas Eve. This pre-Scream holiday slasher claims its victims in a sorority house haunted by creepy phone calls (sans ghost mask), demonic noises, bodies eerily shrouded in plastic wrap, and one perverse killer whose voice alone is enough to freeze your blood.
