 | 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 |
 | Circus of HorrorsMovie Review Circus of Horrors (1960), directed by Sidney Hayers, is a chilling British horror gem blending grotesque circus spectacle with psychological terror. Anton Diffring delivers a magnetic performance as a plastic surgeon turned ringmaster, whose traveling circus becomes a cover for dark deeds. The film’s vibrant Technicolor visuals contrast sharply with its macabre themes, creating an unsettling, almost surreal atmosphere. With knife-throwing acts, slithering snakes, and eerie backstage secrets, it captures the essence of 1960s horror—stylized, suspenseful, and brimming with moral decay. An underrated classic that’s both disturbing... Read More |
 | 13 ghostMovie Review "13 times the thrills, 13 times the screams, 13 times the fun!" boldly proclaims the poster of this bizarre and spectral cinematic experiment from the king of sensational cinema: William Castle. Our tale begins with a modest family that inherits a dilapidated mansion from a mysterious uncle… a mansion inhabited, as one might guess, by thirteen ghosts! But beware, dear audience: these spirits are not visible to the naked eye. To see them, you must wear the extraordinary Ghost Viewer, provided free of charge at the theater entrance! A true stroke of marketing genius, reminiscent of the best traveling shows of the late 19th... Read More |
 | The Autopsy of Jane DoeMovie Review The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a small gem of contemporary horror cinema, a film that manages to combine classic suspense with an intelligent use of the supernatural. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal, the film sits halfway between forensic thriller and occult nightmare, maintaining a claustrophobic and refined tension throughout most of its runtime. The story unfolds almost entirely in a morgue, where a father and son (Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch, both in top form) are tasked with examining the body of a young woman found mysteriously intact at a scene of brutal carnage. It is precisely the paradox between the... Read More |
 | CubeMovie Review I couldn't wait to talk about this extraordinary Canadian film, which I consider without hesitation one of the best horror films of all time, so much so that it is in my personal top 5 of the genre. The director, Vincenzo Natali, is often unfairly underrated, but with Cube he has demonstrated a visionary talent that deserves full recognition. This is his first feature film, the film that made him a household name, and despite an extremely low budget (around $350,000), it manages to give the impression of a much more ambitious and refined work than one might expect. Its strength lies in a simple but incredibly effective... Read More |
 | The substanceMovie 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 |
 | JudyMovie Review Let me start off this review by saying that I am not a fan of clowns. I don’t mean that in a “I flip out when I see them, they’re so scary” kind of way. I mean that I think they’re boring and overused. Thanks to Stephen Kings’ Pennywise (from It) and northern Illinois’ John Wayne Gacy, we’ve been inundated with clowns in our horror for the past thirty years, and every time it looks like they’re going away, they’re right back in our faces with the Insane Clown Posse and a flood of unoriginal, over-the-top clowns-as-killers horror films. It’s rare that any movie with clowns in it will leave a good impression on me anymore. And... Read More |
