	The Black Phone Movie 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. The film's strength lies in its ability to mix a disturbing kidnapping thriller with wisely measured supernatural elements. The setting, placed in the 1970s, is vivid and gritty, contributing to a palpable sense of isolation and fear in an American suburb. Mason Thames (Finney) is... Read More
	An American Werewolf in London Movie 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
	The Blob Movie 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
	the funhouse Movie 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
	Talk to Me Movie Review Extremely contemporary horror, capable of maintaining high tension and shot with skill, it works better than many others because it seems that the two directors know the target audience of this type of film well and have thought of it first of all to entertain, succeeding very well. In short, a creepypasta perhaps, yes but well done and not at all superficial, the underlying theme is the lack of communication between generations, which pushes teenagers to seek increasingly extreme emotions, in this case to talk to the dead perhaps because they are unable to confide in adults.
	The substance Movie Review Body horror, a genre where the horror comes from the repugnant alteration of bodies, how can we not mention cults like "The Fly" by David Cronenberg or "Society - The Horror" directed by Brian Yuzna. I really liked the first part where we have fun with a truly surprising Demi Moore until the clone enters the scene, then the film descends into the most vulgar and useless vulgarity with long and repetitive scenes of erotic gymnastics. Even if the general idea of the film is certainly not original, the photography and the scenography are fascinating but in the second part the film veers towards Trash, disgusting and... Read More
	La Reliquia Movie Review Disturbing Rosemary's Baby in southern sauce, "La reliquia" (seen online at the Fantafestival in Rome) is a successful insight into the practices and rituals of southern Italy. The theme is the atmosphere is very interesting and original, but the narrative suffers from the short duration. The cast of actors is exceptional, mostly comedians, but perfectly in part in histrionic (Paolantoni) or slimy (Rizzo) roles. The beautiful and evocative photography creates a dark atmosphere. Effective direction. Note of... Read More
	Hereditary - Evil runs in the family Movie Review “Hereditary” is a literally "homemade" horror. The physical home, as a place of family life and as creative microcosm of Annie, and the metaphysical home, as a dreamlike symbol of the stability or instability of the Ego, are inextricably intertwined in a game of Chinese boxes : a husband , a son, a daughter, and a miniaturist job she loves. But also a bulky mother: Ellen. Annie has always been trying to fix her "home": and soon we realize that something, in addition to the ambivalent relationship between her and the now defunct Ellen, does not work. Starting from Charlie, an... Read More
	It Follows Movie Review Horror films at their very best successfully tap into the primal fears and apprehensions of its audience. They not only remind us of the things we’re afraid of but challenge us to ask why they make us so afraid. They also inspire us to contemplate whether or not falling victim to our worst fears is something that can be avoided, and if so, at what cost. If that’s the kind of horror film you absolutely love, then It Follows was definitely made with you in mind. It Follows made its debut at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and was later distributed by...
