The Night House (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Alone in her house
“The Night House” is a little horror film which did a rather impressive job of unnerving me from the beginning to the end. Although this is another case of woman-alone-in-terror flick, those expected moments of suspense and dread in the … Continue reading
Zola (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Based on one amusing Twitter tale
“Zola” is a darkly amusing cautionary tale of sexual exploitation which will definitely make you wince more than once. Cheerfully bouncing from one absurd moment to another, the movie never overlooks the seedy and exploitative aspects of what its heroine … Continue reading
Eternals (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): The Curious Misfire of Chloé Zhao
“Eternals”, the latest offering from Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a curious misfire whose heart seems to be in some other place. Like “Black Widow” (2021) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (2021), it attempts to try … Continue reading
Never Gonna Snow Again (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): An odd immigrant masseur in suburbia
What an odd and strange film “Never Gonna Snow Again” is. The movie, which was selected as Poland’s submission to Best International Film Oscar in last year, initially baffled me a lot as I tried to figure out what and … Continue reading
Naked Singularity (2021) ☆☆(2/4): Tepid Singularity
“Naked Singularity”, which somehow crept into South Korean theaters in last week, is not as singular as whatever it wanted to be. The movie itself is not awful at all, but it is a tedious mess of half-baked ideas which … Continue reading
Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little malfunctioning friend
Animation feature film “Ron’s Gone Wrong” may aim low from the beginning, but it is more entertaining than expected. Although many of its components are familiar to the core, it fairly works well as cheerfully swaying back and forth between … Continue reading

The Asian Angel (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Accidental travelers
“The Asian Angel” simply rolls along with its two different sets of characters and then observes what occurs between these two contrasting groups. Despite the considerable language barrier between their groups, the main characters in the film somehow manage to … Continue reading
Shadow of the Vampire (2000) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Filmmaking with the Vampire
F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” (1922) has been regarded as one of the greatest silent horror films for many good reasons, and one of them is the striking image of its titular character. Although the film itself was … Continue reading

Copshop (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A fixer, a killer, and an officer
“Copshop” is an efficient action thriller flick which plays well with its familiar genre elements on the whole. Right from its opening part, we already have a pretty good idea on what we are going to get, but the movie … Continue reading
Old Henry (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): An old farmer with the past
“Old Henry” is a familiar but solid western thriller film which turns out to be more enjoyable and interesting than expected. We can clearly see through what it is going to do along with its seemingly plain ordinary hero, and … Continue reading
