While Andra Day, Mo’Nique and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor deliver terrific performances, director Lee Daniels makes the cardinal mistake of turning the strong family drama of 'The Deliverance' into a run-of-the-mill possession flick and never recovers.
Read MoreWhile ‘Cuckoo’ begins full of promise, it slowly loses steam and becomes a disinteresting grab-bag of infinitely better productions.
Read MoreWe need more movies like ‘Faces’. Not only on the small scale, but in theaters nationwide, working to reform a genre that has only been kept alive by content of the same caliber. Efficient, full of care, and running on fear, Faces is a good old fashioned horror thrill-ride.
Read MoreThe world is a chaotic place, and it is riddled with all sorts of existential problems that challenge our place in the universe. Climate change is certainly among these issues. How can we solve such complex issues ? Maybe with films such as director Luke Zwanziger’s eerily atmospheric body horror short ‘Vines’.
Read MoreNo matter where that scenario goes though, from a purely artistic standpoint, The Exorcist: Believer is a fine achievement. It understands the horror standard on which it’s based to a notable degree, offers more than a few memorable moments, and delivers on being more than basic blockbuster horror.
Read MoreMake no mistake. ‘A Haunting in Venice’ may not be perfect, but it’s still a scary good time. While it’s hard to say if it’s the best in the franchise, it is undeniably just as good as the first two entries.
Read More‘The Nun 2 ‘ may not suit everybody, but anyone willing to give it the time of day should find something to appreciate. It’s a thoroughly satisfying horror blockbuster that bends the genre’s common clichés, though it doesn’t break them.
Read More‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ is a lean, studio-stunted yet passionate horror film that boasts a strong lead performance and vintage setting. It may not be the greatest monster-thriller in recent memory, but absolutely deserves the attention of horror junkies.
Read MoreThe film is an experience you have to commit to, and it’s a difficult ride, but there’s something of value within ‘Talk to Me’, that everyone can enjoy.
Read MoreUnless you’re an Insidious super-fan, you can safely skip ‘Insidious: The Red Door’. Let’s hope this franchise gets some much needed time behind closed doors; red or otherwise, and lock from the outside.
Read MoreDirector Rob Savage takes a crack at PG-13 horror in ‘The Boogeyman’, a relatively tame and predictable horror movie featuring a roster of one-note characters and uneventful jump scares.
Read MoreFor fans of Gremlins, Critters, or Evil Dead but who crave the more modern storytelling touch of having a critical social issue in the jaws of a Cronenberg-esque fleshy Muppet, Appendage is a welcome addition to stream at home.
Read MoreNeil Marshall makes his best movie in a long time in The Lair. While it may not satiate fans of serious, character-driven cinema, it can appease those looking to switch their brain off an enjoy a ride for a little while.
Read MoreV/H/S/99 is the fifth instalment in the cult classic found-footage horror anthology V/H/S series. While there is certainly some content to enjoy here, this latest outing fails to stand out and do anything new or notable.
Read MoreHalloween Ends is the unlucky thirteenth installment in the Halloween slasher film franchise, and the culmination of the Blumhouse legacy sequel trilogy. Unfortunately, the film suffers comprehensively with a thin plot, poor writing, mismanaged story arcs, inconsistent performances, and a failure to truly and effectively conclude the Myers saga.
Read MoreSmile is a supernatural psychological horror film from Paramount that offers crafty scares, suspenseful atmosphere, and a relevant message that is largely held back by a derivative plot, a so-so script, and a tiring runtime.
Read MoreIn addition to being funny and horror done right, Barbarian is extremely smart. Where most horror movies like to put monsters on full display, this film is more interested in exploring where those monsters come from.
Read MoreHot off his Oscar win, Guillermo Del Toro is back with a new, expectedly dark and alluring film in the form of ‘Nightmare Alley’. Based on the novel, of the same name, and inspired by the Edmund Goulding 1947 film, del Toro has mustered up a strikingly atmospheric noir that effortlessly transports spectators into the filmmaker’s dark vision.
Read More‘Titane’ is Julia Ducournau’s second feature length film and just like her last film, this on e isn’t for the faint of heart. A movie that will truly divide audiences with its disturbing imagery but one that will stand the test of time because of the method to it’s madness
Read MoreAudiences finally get to witness the latest horror cult-classic revival, Candyman. All the ingredients are there for this to be the next great film from recently prolific writer/producer Jordan Peele and director Nia DaCosta and bring the iconic character into the modern world. Instead, audiences are given an uneven mess that could have been so much more.
