movie review

Please note: I write my reviews AS I watch the movie. That being said, don’t judge my negative remarks in the first part of this review as my final decision on this film. Read the entire review, you m...

This movie begins nearly the same as the original version that aired as a two-part made-for-TV movie in 1990. We witness Billy making the boat for his little brother Georgie. We watch Georgie run outs...

Every kid has that scary movie their parents told them they couldn't watch, but snuck into the room and peaked around the corner only to be scarred for the next twenty years of their life. Those movie...

Look, I'm not sure what I would do if I were faced with a masked killer running around, but I can tell you that more than half the shit some of these people do in horror movies is quite possibly the m...

After seeing some of the best horror movies of 2017, it's about time to branch out and find new horizons when it comes to discovering truly enriching psychological horrors. Not all of the best horrors...

(There will be spoilers about the Saw series in this article. If you do not want anything spoiled for you, watch the films and come back. Or if you don't care about spoilers, then read on!) When it co...

Being an avid horror fan myself, I am acutely aware of how rare it is these days to come across a horror film that actually satisfies my need for terror, shock and gore. Especially in mainstream cinem...

There is something about the 'Insidious' franchise that is ridiculously entertaining even though they can be extreme and over-the-top a lot of the time. However, I can honestly say that I’m guilty of ...

In recent years, the month of January has become synonymous with the widespread dreaded expectation of the major movie studios releasing their cheapest off-cuts, and likeliest critical duds, to die a ...

The first Insidious movie back in 2011 was, to me, at least, one of the scariest films I had seen in quiet some time. What I found interesting enough about that movie was, when I went back to see it a...

I love horror movies and these days it's particularly hard to find any that fill you with any real sense of fear. Today's horror films are full of boring story lines, found camera footage, and non-sca...

Halloween is neigh. Cue the pumpkins, candy, good ol’ horror classics and Disney’s roster of family-friendly Halloween movies, because nothing can beat a good fright on Halloween night. A lot of horro...

Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for our ghoulish Valentine's Day horror movie picks. Read on — if you dare! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — y'know, that time of the year where...

I've seen a lot of remakes in my 24 years on this planet, and one theme seems to reign true with every film; it's either a hit or a miss. There's no in between. The remake either leaves you feeling sa...

When I was a kid, we were always advised not to go out during Holy Week (as a form of penance). So when we stayed at home, aside from Biblical movies on television, there are also horror movies that d...

That was an interesting shift in horror films: Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It went from alien ships raining down on us poor earthlings to...well, us. Literally. Put a whole different spin on the word 'invasion' where it wasn't about trying to invade a planet, but several thousands bodies. And it grabbed (or I should say snatched) the horrified minds of many. What if we were invaded? What would happen to us? Nothing. For all intents and purposes, we'd be dead. We'd cease to exist. We'd be not...
