serial killer
![]() | The Black PhoneMovie Review The Black Phone, directed by Scott Derrickson and based on the short story by Joe Hill, is a film that transcends the simple horror formula to offer a tense, psychologically engaging, and surprisingly emotional experience. It is a triumph of atmosphere and performances that makes it one of the most successful titles in the genre recently. |
![]() | Ghost in the MachineMovie Review Ghost in the Machine (1993) is a unique blend of techno-thriller and horror that explores the terrifying possibilities of early 90s technology. The film centers on a serial killer whose consciousness becomes trapped inside a computer system after his death. What follows is a chilling cat-and-mouse game as he manipulates electronic devices—phones, elevators, computers—to terrorize an unsuspecting family. While the film’s execution sometimes feels uneven, its inventive premise and the creativity of the digital threats keep the tension high throughout. The combination of suspenseful pacing, eerie 90s computer visuals, and inventive... Read More |
![]() | 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...

![]() | Occhiali neri/ Dark GlassesMovie Review "Dark Glasses": Between Stylistic Revival and Narrative Collapse The return of Dario Argento behind the camera with "Dark Glasses" ten years after "Dracula 3D" was an anticipated event, and the first part of the film initially seems to satisfy that expectation. The setting in **Rome**, a city flooded by an eclipse and immediately afterwards wrapped in a nocturnal and vicious atmosphere, is the perfect canvas for a classic Italian giallo. The opening sequences, with the introduction of Diana, a luxury escort (played by a good and likable Ilenia Pastorelli), and the immediate threat of a serial killer, unmistakably recall...

![]() | 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. |
