 | The Mad RoomMovie Review The Mad Room (1969), directed by Bernard Girard, is a remake of the 1941 classic gothic thriller Ladies in Retirement, but it’s adapted with a style and a taste for psychological horror typical of the late 1960s. Although not a masterpiece without flaws, the film stands out for its dark atmosphere and the intense performances of its two leading actresses: Stella Stevens and Shelley Winters... Read More |
 | The Black SleepMovie Review This iconic, albeit chaotic, piece of 1950s cinema is less a conventional movie and more a surreal nightmare captured on celluloid. "The Black Sleep" is a fascinating entry in the horror genre, primarily due to its unparalleled casting of legendary monsters. The plot follows Sir Joel Cadman (Basil Rathbone), a brilliant but morally bankrupt surgeon who experiments on living human subjects to find a cure for his wife's coma-like illness, using an Eastern drug called "The Black Sleep" that induces a death-like state. The film functions as a grand, macabre showcase for its stellar roster of horror icons: Bela Lugosi as a mute... Read More |
 | The Tomb of LigeiaMovie Review Roger Corman's The Tomb of Ligeia is a hauntingly atmospheric adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, elevated by Vincent Price’s commanding performance and a script by Robert Towne. Unlike earlier entries in Corman’s Poe cycle, this film was shot largely on location, which enhances the eerie realism and decaying grandeur of the narrative. Price plays Verden Fell, a brooding aristocrat haunted—perhaps literally—by the memory of his dead wife, Ligeia. His new marriage to the vivacious Rowena (Elizabeth Shepherd, also excellent) is soon troubled by strange occurrences and Fell’s increasingly erratic behavior. The... Read More |
 | CrawlspaceMovie Review Crawlspace – When horror slips through the air ducts... and into your patience Crawlspace is one of those movies that makes you eye every ventilation grate in your apartment with suspicion. Because yes, in this gem of claustrophobic horror, the real enemy isn’t some otherworldly monster—it’s your neighbor who’s decided to live in the walls (literally). The film pulls off the impressive feat of turning an air duct system into a labyrinth of blood, paranoia, and highly questionable character choices. The protagonists move around as if trapped in an escape room designed by a homicidal interior decorator, and the... Read More |
 | Lord of MisruleMovie Review Bland horror that mixes paganism, thriller and folklore of British popular traditions. The story recalls the 1973 film "The Wicker Man" with Christopher Lee |
 | A Quiet PlaceMovie Review There are movies that take their time building a mood and movies that pull you right into their carefully crafted worlds pretty much right away. John Krakinski’s A Quiet Place is definitely the latter. The first thing the viewer sees is a barefoot family scavenging for supplies in the middle of an abandoned supermarket. However, they’re doing so completely silently – not exactly average for a family that includes three children. We’re promptly informed via a title card that we’re on “Day 89” of whatever’s going on and with that, our journey into this very quiet world... Read More |
 | AuditionMovie Review
Direction is just as important as story and even more important than acting. For this reason I probably have more favorite directors than I do actors or actresses. Takashi Miike is easily in my top five all time favorite directors. Before there was Imprint(Masters of Horror Season 1 Episode 13), there was Ichi the Killer andHappiness of the Katakuris. And before those two cinematic gems there was Audition; an absolute masterpiece of Japanese horror film making. Taken from a novel written by Ryu Murakami, Audition starts by introducing us to a widower,... Read More |

 | Lorenzo RenziInterview Between Light and Shadow, an Actor Crossing the Borders of Reality. Lorenzo Renzi, born in 1977, is an Italian actor from Feltre who trained at Michael Margotta’s Actor’s Center. From the very beginning, he has demonstrated remarkable versatility, moving effortlessly between classical theatre, auteur cinema, television, and, more recently, the unsettling realms of thrillers and horror. With a solid background and a powerful stage presence, Renzi is one of those actors capable of giving body and voice to deeply human characters—even when they inhabit dark and disturbing worlds. In horror films, where emotion is often built more... Read More |
