 | Opus 2025 With Opus, Mark Anthony Green delivers a visionary debut that blends psychological drama, celebrity cult satire, and elegant horror. This is a baroque and unsettling film, set in a world where art becomes power, and talent turns into religion.
The story revolves around a mysterious figure—possibly a genius, possibly a manipulator—who leads a select group of individuals through what feels like a creative ritual. The setting is theatrical, oppressive, and dripping with symbolism. Neon lights and stage smoke evoke an atmosphere halfway between a cult and an apocalyptic show.
The cast is outstanding: Ayo Edebiri is intense and... Read More |

 | Phantasm 1979 The Immortal Nightmare of the Tall Man
A forgotten classic? Only by those who haven’t seen it.
Phantasm is one of those films that carved its place in the hearts of horror fans with a unique blend of dream logic, nightmare fuel, and surrealism. Directed by Don Coscarelli at only 23 years old, the film has become a true cult classic, spawning four sequels and introducing one of horror’s most haunting villains: the Tall Man.
Atmosphere of a nightmare
Phantasm is not a straightforward film. It doesn’t aim for perfect narrative logic, and that’s exactly where its strength lies. It’s a filmed nightmare, where reality twists and... Read More |
 | Carnival of Souls 1962 Carnival of Souls is a small miracle of American independent cinema. Shot on a shoestring budget and initially released to little success, it has since become a cult classic, revered by filmmakers, critics, and cinephiles alike. This unsettling film blends horror, experimental cinema, and a philosophical meditation on life and death.
One of Carnival of Souls' most remarkable elements is its atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from German Expressionist cinema and the work of directors like Ingmar Bergman, Herk Harvey creates a ghostly world where the line between reality and the surreal is constantly blurred. Maurice Prather’s stark... Read More |
 | Vampire in Venice 1988 Vampire in Venice is a 1988 Italian horror film directed by Augusto Caminito and starring Klaus Kinski in the role of the infamous vampire. It is considered an unofficial sequel to Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), also starring Kinski and directed by Werner Herzog.
Positive Aspects
Venice is used masterfully as a gothic and decaying backdrop. The misty canals and baroque interiors help create a haunting and evocative setting.
Klaus Kinski’s screen presence: Despite the production issues and Kinski’s notoriously difficult behavior on set, he manages to bring a disturbing and magnetic energy to his character.
Soundtrack: At... Read More |
 | Drag Me to Hell 2009 A grotesque descent into moral abyss disguised as supernatural horror.
Drag Me to Hell is not just a horror film: it's a cruel parable about judgment and guilt wearing the grotesque mask of a curse. Sam Raimi, with his unmistakable blend of the absurd and the disturbing, crafts a work that crawls under your skin—not because of its demons, but because of the unsettling doubt it leaves behind: how much evil can a good person do to get what they want?
The film walks a fine line between genuine terror and deliberately exaggerated farce. The special effects, intentionally old-school at times, harken back to the cult classic Evil... Read More |
