Psychological thrillers have to be my least favorite genre of all time. Rarely does a movie get by on just dialogue before I give up. The Cellar started out as such, and I was getting ready to lose interest. As I got further, I learned to appreciate the film. It’s …

Horror and musicals are often thought to be an awkward concoction, a collaboration that mixes together about as well as ice cream and battery acid. But when you blend the right amount of slashing and singing, you can strike gold. Such is the case in I:Scream- A Minty Musical. Let’s …

I have seen several horror movies based on faith, such as The Exorcist or Stigmata. Thy Will Be Done brought a breath of fresh air into my life concerning religious thrillers. I was very bored with 90% of the sub-genre horror movies based on God. Who can you trust when …

I’ve been excited to check out the remake of The Hand that Rocks the Cradle as I’m a huge fan of Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. I had never seen the original. I gave both films a watch and I wrote down my comparisons of the films as well …

In Our Blood is an excellent blend of traditional narrative filmmaking and the immersive realism of found footage. It’s a film that manages to breathe new life into a subgenre many considered exhausted. From the very first frame, the movie establishes a tense, unsettling atmosphere that never truly lets up. …

David Lynch’s The Elephant Man is a film that cuts straight to the core of what it means to be human. Starring John Hurt as Joseph Merrick (called John Merrick in the film) and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Frederick Treves, it tells a true story that’s as harrowing as it …
