 | The monkey 2025 Finally, a film that makes us say: “Monkey, take the keys to my anxiety and drive me straight to hell!”
Oz Perkins, with his signature eerie elegance, delivers The Monkey – a disturbing horror where an innocent cymbal-clapping toy monkey becomes the official mascot of our nightmares. Forget dolls and clowns: the real killer here is vintage, battery-operated, and grinning like it knows your darkest secret.
Perkins’s direction is hypnotic, built on whispers, shadows, and slow dread… until that clang clang hits, and someone meets a gruesome fate. It’s as if David Lynch remade Gremlins while sleep-deprived and deeply existential.... Read More |
 | 13 ghost 1960 "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 century... Read More |
 | Night swim 2024 Night Swim is a 2024 thriller/horror film directed by Bryce McGuire, based on a 2014 short film of the same name. The movie explores a concept that is both simple and unsettling: a haunted swimming pool. What initially seems like a peaceful summer pastime hides a supernatural horror that emerges after dark.
Strengths

Visual and sound effects: Impressive, particularly in underwater scenes that evoke a sense of claustrophobia and helplessness.
Psychological metaphor: Some... Read More |
 | The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017 The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a chilling and symbolically rich film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
The film is crafted with clinical precision. Its atmosphere is sparse and deeply unnerving, amplified by unnatural dialogue and a cold, detached directorial style. Lanthimos strips his characters of emotional warmth to present them as pawns in a larger, perhaps divine or mythic, design. The deliberately flat and alienated performances are not a flaw, but a stylistic choice that enhances the sense of dread.
The film draws directly from Greek tragedy: just as Agamemnon had to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the... Read More |
 | Presence 2024 A Haunting Whisper in the Void of the Ordinary
With Presence, Steven Soderbergh returns to the supernatural thriller genre with a film that is as much a stylistic exercise as it is an exploration of trauma and absence. Eschewing jump scares and loud narratives, the director crafts an intimate horror experience that slowly seeps under the viewer's skin, evoking a deep, almost physical unease.
David Koepp’s screenplay — known for his work on Panic Room and Stir of Echoes — unfolds in a rarefied narrative space, where the true protagonist is emptiness: the physical emptiness of an apparently ordinary house and the emotional void... Read More |
 | The baby 1973 From the first shots of “The Baby” you can feel a whisper of madness, as if the camera were peering through a crack in the soul. The corridor to the nursery is lit by an unnaturally warm light, but at the center is him: a man trapped in a grotesque baby suit, crying a strangled and inarticulate moan, clinging to wooden bars like an anchor of despair.
The protagonist, Ann (Anjanette Comer), is dragged into this ghostly asylum of horrors with the lightness of a breeze, but here her smile cracks. The walls, covered in peeling wallpaper, seem to pulsate with visionary memories: muffled voices, ghostly laughter, the cries of unborn... Read More |
