![]() | 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!

![]() | High-RiseMovie 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 |

![]() | Carnival of SoulsMovie Review Carnival of Souls is a small miracle of American independent cinema. Shot on a shoestring budget and initially released to little success, it has since become a cult classic, revered by filmmakers, critics, and cinephiles alike. This unsettling film blends horror, experimental cinema, and a philosophical meditation on life and death. One of Carnival of Souls' most remarkable elements is its atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from German Expressionist cinema and the work of directors like Ingmar Bergman, Herk Harvey creates a ghostly world where the line between reality and the surreal is constantly blurred. Maurice Prather’s... 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 |
![]() | 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 |
![]() | Jacob's LadderMovie Review A disturbing and deeply unsettling film, Jacob's Ladder is a slow and anguishing descent into the depths of the human psyche. Directed with a sure hand by Adrian Lyne, the film seamlessly blends psychological horror with existential drama, leaving the viewer in a constant state of disorientation. Tim Robbins delivers one of his most intense performances as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran tormented by surreal visions and fragmented memories. The line between reality and hallucination dissolves from the very first scenes, and the film never offers a moment of respite, guiding the viewer through claustrophobic corridors,... Read More |
