terror
 | ViciousMovie Review Vicious is a psychological horror that relies on emotional tension and the fear of the unknown. As a woman, I found it particularly compelling how the film explores vulnerability within the home—supposedly the safest place we know. The protagonist embodies the growing terror of someone trapped not only inside her house but inside her own emotional weaknesses. The film builds an unsettling atmosphere from the very beginning, balancing... Read More |
 | When Evil LurksMovie Review "When Evil Lurks" is an overwhelming and relentless work that bravely steps away from the subgenre's clichés. Director Demián Rugna plunges us into a ruthless and visceral rural nightmare, establishing from the very first minutes that the rules are different here: there are no exorcist priests, no comforting prayers, and no easy way out. There is only a primal Evil, contagious like a virus and incomprehensible, spreading illogically and mercilessly. What makes the film exceptional is its brutality and honesty in depicting horror....

 | An American Werewolf in LondonMovie Review "An American Werewolf in London" is far more than a simple horror film: it is a cinematic gem that skillfully blends the rawest terror with unexpected and brilliant black humour, creating a unique and unparalleled experience that has stood the test of time beautifully. John Landis, at the peak of his career, directs a work that perfectly balances the horror of the werewolf myth with a disarming and ironic sense of everyday life. The absolute greatest strength of the film lies in the practical... Read More |

This film isn't just a genre exercise; it’s a choral, disturbing, and visionary work that digs into the open wounds of contemporary society, transforming a mystery into a true liturgy of terror. The movie opens with a chilling... Read More |
 | The BlobMovie Review The Blob is an icon of 1950s B-movie science fiction/horror, a film that, despite being produced on a limited budget, left an indelible mark thanks to its simple yet effective premise, and, most notably, for launching the career of Steve McQueen (then credited as Steven McQueen) in his first starring role. The movie, directed by Irvin... Read More |
 | Ring 0: The BirthdayMovie Review Ring 0: Birthday is a prequel that dares to shift the tone and perspective of the Ring franchise, trading the investigative horror and cursed technology of its predecessors for a tragic character study steeped in psychological tension and creeping dread. Directed by Norio Tsuruta and based on Koji Suzuki’s Birthday short story collection, this 2000 film explores the mysterious past of Sadako Yamamura—the now-iconic vengeful spirit of the series—and offers a deeper, more humanizing look at the monster behind the myth. Set in the 1970s, the story follows Sadako as a quiet, withdrawn young woman attempting to live a normal... Read More |
 | DraculaMovie Review Luc Besson’s Dracula is an ambitious and visually stunning reinterpretation of Bram Stoker’s immortal classic. The film brings the timeless gothic tale into a modern cinematic vision without losing the essence of its haunting atmosphere. From the very first frame, the movie captivates with its dark elegance, refined cinematography, and breathtaking production design. The story follows the mysterious Count Dracula, who emerges from the shadows of his ancient castle to pursue love, immortality, and revenge. Jonathan Harker, Mina, and Van Helsing are reimagined with intensity and depth, each character enriched by nuanced... Read More |
 | Paura - fearMovie Review Paura is one of those horror films that manages to crawl under your skin and stay there long after the screen goes dark. It is not just a movie—it is an oppressive experience, carefully designed to suffocate the audience with dread. The film’s pacing is deliberate, forcing the viewer to sit in moments of silence, to absorb the creeping atmosphere, and to anticipate the violence that inevitably follows. Its direction is sharp and merciless, never shying away from brutality but always keeping the suspense at the center. Every frame is filled with unease, whether it is a slow shot of an empty corridor, a close-up of terrified eyes... Read More |
 | the funhouseMovie Review Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse (1981) is a chilling carnival-set horror film that thrives on atmosphere, dread, and grotesque imagery. By combining eerie sideshow aesthetics with the claustrophobic terror of being trapped overnight in a funhouse, Hooper crafts a disturbing experience that lingers. The film distinguishes itself through its deliberate pacing, unsettling visuals, and its monstrous antagonist, a deformed killer whose presence epitomizes the theme of hidden horrors beneath carnival glitter. Unlike typical slasher fare, The Funhouse emphasizes tension and atmosphere over body count, making it a unique entry in early 80s... Read More |
 | CREEPSHOWMovie Review “Creepshow” (1982), directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King, is a cinematic love letter to classic EC horror comics. Blending grotesque humor with macabre storytelling, it offers five chilling tales: a vengeful father’s return from the grave, a lonely farmer corrupted by a meteorite, a jealous husband’s watery revenge, a ravenous crate’s hidden terror, and a wealthy recluse tormented by cockroaches. The anthology’s vivid comic-book style—complete with exaggerated lighting, panel-like transitions, and lurid colors—captures both nostalgia and fear. Romero’s direction balances camp with suspense, while King’s... Read More |
