Viking Wolf
Viking Wolf, Norway's inaugural werewolf film, lives up to its promises. This recent addition to Netflix's collection delivers on its premise, offering a thrilling tale of a savage lycanthrope prowling a quaint Norwegian town. However, director Stig Svendsen takes a departure from the conventional origins found in such stories, opting to adapt the werewolf myth to better suit the Scandinavian backdrop. The result is a distinctive yet imperfect addition to the genre.

Children of the Stones is a little confusing, underplaying its hand with a sort of subtlety that lends it even more of a creepy power. The story revolves around a Stonehenge-like circle of megalithic, er, megaliths in a small British town in the British countryside. That is, undeniably, one hundred percent British.
The Curse of the Sinister Doll: A Plaything’s Revenge
Part 1: The Sinister Gift In a small town, a mysterious package arrived at an unsuspecting family’s doorstep. Inside was an intricately crafted doll, its porcelain face frozen in an unsettling smile.

Arjun ChauhanPublished 10 months ago in HorrorThe Stand (2020) Episode 2 Review
When I approached the new version of The Stand, I was hopeful. My hopes were quickly dashed in the first episode, which I’ve reviewed here. The second episode, titled “Pocket Savior”, did very little to restore my hope for the series. By choosing to continue the flashback narrative structure, the series keeps killing its forward momentum in the same way that Captain Trips kills the majority of the human population.

SPOILERS!!! I'm not going to COMPLETELY pan this movie, but it's got no teeth. There was some heavy, good meat on the plot, but the movie took a nibble and left the rest. There was SO much to work with and they did nothing with it.

The Pale Blue Eye
During the dreary midwinter, a moviegoer may not seek more wintry bleakness on the screen. Let me introduce you to "The Pale Blue Eye," a captivating film written and directed by Scott Cooper, featuring the talented Christian Bale as its star. Set in the rugged Hudson Valley of New York in 1830, this movie immerses viewers in a world of chilling winter. Masanobu Takayanagi's cinematography beautifully captures shades of gray, occasionally punctuated by vivid flashes of blue from the water and the uniforms of cadets at West Point Military Academy, where much of the story unfolds.
