![]() | ManhunterMovie Review The Predator's Mind, the Investigator's Soul Manhunter is one of those films that, even decades later, continues to breathe with an icy, hypnotic intensity. The first cinematic adaptation of Thomas Harris’s novel Red Dragon, Michael Mann’s film is a psychological thriller that shuns genre conventions to explore, with patience and precision, the darkness shared between hunter and prey. Unlike many police thrillers, Manhunter focuses less on action and more on inner tension. William Petersen plays Will Graham, an FBI profiler gifted—or cursed—with the ability to completely immerse himself in the minds of the killers... 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 |
![]() | 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 |
![]() | The House That Jack BuiltMovie Review Yet another controversial and highly disturbing film, which confirms Lars Von Trier as a provocative and unconventional director. The House That Jack Built is an extremely raw authorial horror, designed for an audience with a strong stomach. The film follows a circular structure in which the color red is a recurring element. Von Trier mixes images of works of art, clips from documentaries on concentration camps, cartoons and fragments of his previous films, creating a complex interweaving of symbols and references. Through a powerful visual force, he tries to strike even those who might get lost among the many... Read More |
![]() | Don't Look NowMovie Review A suggestive and deeply layered reinterpretation of a universal fairy tale like Little Red Riding Hood, which finds in its protagonists, Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, two extraordinary interpreters. However, the director eludes any predefined scheme, escapes conventions and leads the viewer on a labyrinthine, almost subliminal path. What on the surface seems like a parapsychological horror, complete with a hunt for a serial killer, actually turns out to be a work of extraordinary complexity: an investigation into the reworking of grief within a couple, into the tension between faith and rationality, into the unfathomable...

![]() | LonglegsMovie Review A satanic and unrecognizable Nicolas Cage in one of the most complex and successful horror films of the year. Oz Perkins, son of the iconic Anthony (Psycho) directs a horror for adults, finally without screaming and laughing teenagers. Very beautiful images in a sulphurous, depressing and morbid atmosphere... it reminds us of cornerstones such as "The Silence of the Lambs" in particular for how it proposes the detective-killer scheme. |
![]() | MaxxxineMovie Review The film is the last chapter of a trilogy that always stars the talented Mia Goth, here supported by a great cast of actors, especially Kevin Bacon. |
![]() | SeedMovie Review The above quote opens what could be one of the most disturbing movies I have seen in a long time. Uwe Boll’s Seed is an unflinching exercise in human cruelty. The movie begins with archival footage of humans being exceptionally cruel to a variety of animals that was provided by PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I thought this was unnecessary at the time, but in further watching the movie, I felt that the PETA footage started the story off in the right direction. It prepares the viewer for the cruelty expressed further in. The next scene is a man being executed in the fashion that is most popular in horror... Read More |

![]() | Four of the Most Terrifying Horror Films of All TimeHorror News It’s fair to say horror movies are given something of an unfair press. Unlike romance, drama, and sci-fi, they’re frequently looked upon as the poor relation and subjected to vicious critical attacks. They’re sometimes accused of only wanting to provoke a reaction, as opposed to having any higher aspirations to create screen-worthy cinema or an enduring impact. But that's no more accurate than saying all romantic flicks or dramas are the same. Thankfully, thrillers and horror films finally seem to be getting some of the recognition they deserve. Thanks to a number of classics that have combined strong storylines with masterful... Read More |
