I don’t know the last time I was so infuriated and frustrated watching a movie. The Frighteners has so many good ideas but is delivered as a muddled, mess of a film. Considering it comes from the guy who has … Continue reading The Frighteners (1996) Review
Devil feels like it could have been fantastic had it had the budget, cast and director it warranted. It’s not a bad film and what it does is achieved very well but it just misses that final touch that makes it … Continue reading Devil (2010) Review
It’s worth mentioning that I haven’t seen the original Carrie so this review can’t be a comparison of the two. That being said, this movie does strike me as a film trying to do something new without really achieving anything … Continue reading Carrie (2013) Review
A lot of people really rate Ben Wheatley and the films he has produced so far but I just can’t count myself among them. It isn’t that I think his films are bad, it is just that I don’t “get … Continue reading Sightseers (2012) Review

Rosemary’s Baby fit into that category of “horror” movies that are much more disturbing than scary. I would put The Omen in that category (and argue for the inclusion of The Exorcist too). That doesn’t make it any less of a horror … Continue reading Rosemary’s Baby (1968) Review
The issue with many older horror movies is that what was once shocking, scary and frightening for its time, seems quite tame compared to the horror movies made today. Movies that may have scared people, like The Omen or Nightmare on … Continue reading The Exorcist (1973) Review
Horror movies have to do something new and unique to make any sort of lasting impact or distinguish itself from the crowd. In a field where there are increasing franchises, churning out similar versions of the same type of movie, … Continue reading Insidious (2010) Review
