 | NocturneMovie Review “Nocturne” is an elegant and unsettling psychological thriller that delves into the shadows of artistic ambition and the dangers of sibling rivalry. Directed by Zu Quirke in her debut feature, the film is part of the "Welcome to the Blumhouse" series and stands out for its refined and eerie aesthetic, reminiscent of Black Swan, yet with a voice of its own. The film explores female rivalry in a highly competitive setting, addressing themes of identity, jealousy, and the cost of genius. The atmosphere is cold and composed, with shots as precise and symmetrical as piano keys, and the soundtrack plays as crucial a role in the... Read More |
 | The ChurchMovie Review The Church is a refined example of late 1980s Italian horror that masterfully blends gothic atmosphere, religious symbolism, and dreamlike visions into a hypnotic and unsettling cinematic experience. Directed by Michele Soavi, a protégé and collaborator of Dario Argento, the film showcases surprising stylistic maturity and marks a significant evolution of the genre beyond the traditional giallo/horror framework. The plot centers around a cathedral built atop a medieval mass grave of heretics, and the ancient evil buried beneath its foundations, waiting to be unleashed. But The Church is much more than a simple story of... Read More |
 | ImmaculateMovie Review Religious horror without demoniacs or exorcisms, played by the new American movie star Sydney Sweeney who also produces here and is the fulcrum of this film... she is perfect in the role with her angelic face that however in the ending, now a cult of this film, is transfigured thus becoming a great "scream queen" almost on the level of Isabelle Adjani in "Possession". |
 | The Pope's ExorcistMovie Review An investigative horror/thriller with strong supernatural undertones, but for those expecting something similar to the famous 1973 Exorcist, you will be disappointed, this is a much lighter product and I say thank goodness! The entire staging is on the shoulders of a self-deprecating, charming and effective protagonist, aided by a bass drum of special effects especially in the second part, arriving at an almost grotesque ending. Ultimately I would say a film with a high level of entertainment and often even funny that does not want to offer anything more than that. |
 | Late Night with the DevilMovie Review Late Night with the Devil by directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes uses a retro TV show setting to create an unnerving atmosphere that draws viewers into a slowly intensifying horror. The film’s attention to detail, from the 70s grainy footage style to shifting between black-and-white and color, sets the tone perfectly. The clever cinematography immerses audiences as if they’re watching a live broadcast unraveling in real time, a technique that intensifies the suspense, especially during the eerie "commercial breaks." David Dastmalchian’s portrayal of Jack Delroy is a highlight, conveying both desperation and a... Read More |

 | Annabelle: CreationMovie Review "Annabelle: Creation" falls in accordance with the advanced awfulness wave. It's the fourth film in "The Conjuring" serie — and the second spinoff to focus on Annabelle, a freaky-looking doll that resembles the Victorian-period cousin of "Child's Play's" Chucky — and it has every one of the components of a contemporary frightfulness hit, including the frightening doll, the spooky (or spooked out) kids and the house that is too huge not to be alarming during the evening. |
 | The Bye Bye ManMovie Review The heroes Elliot (Douglas Smith), Sasha (Cressida Bonas) and John (Lucien Laviscount) are generally wooden in their acting, however they can most likely be excused for working with a dull plot and dreary discourse. They're additionally dominatingly TV performers, and not especially refined ones at that, so to seek after them to convey the motion picture is excessive. Indeed, even the working of the Bye Man's legend does nothing for the watcher, since the figure of speech has been played out by such a large number of various films that have likewise improved (Candyman, anybody?). ...

 | Amityville TheaterMovie Review In my opinion, it seemed to keep a little history of Amityville. They used a Ouija board like back in the old Amityville Horror movie. This movie had hardly anything to do with Amityville except that it was in Amityville, NY. Other than that, this had really nothing to do with the history of the house at all. The soundtrack and music in the movie should have had some trace back to Amityville with as far as the theme. Some parts were cool and crazy. Altogether, this movie was ok. That is my review. It is short because I have nothing much else to say. |
 | The BabadookMovie Review The fear present in The Babadook is almost unfounded. It's hard to remember the last time a potent, eerie mood piece fit this much terror within its walls - both physically and psychologically. Not that films today don't have the power of scaring their audience, it's just that the effect is surface-layer for the most part, easy to shake off because of a certain distance to be attained. In other words, the fear is so within its own horror genre that once taken out the fact that it's a film meant to scare, it does nothing. The Babadook masterfully allows everyone else currently making horror films to take note,... Read More |
