Ne Zha 2 (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A spectacular but hollow sequel
Chinese animation film “Ne Zha 2”, the sequel to “Ne Zha” (2019), strives to be bigger, longer, and better, but it ends up only accomplishing its first two tasks to my dissatisfaction. Thanks to its much more production budget, it … Continue reading
Ne Zha (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The story of a demon boy
2019 Chinese animation film “Ne Zha” works best when it cheerfully bounces with a vibrant sense of fun and energy during its first half. I found its mischievous little demonic hero rather endearing even though he sometimes reminds me of … Continue reading
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A lot of actions in the middle of infinity
Japanese animation feature film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle”, which is still being shown in South Korean theaters despite being released in two months ago, keeps things rolling during its rather long running time (155 minutes), and I … Continue reading
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A middle chapter packed with enough style and action
I must confess that I am not a main target audience of Japanese animation feature film “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc”, which happened to be released in South Korean theaters in last month. In fact, right before watching … Continue reading
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Another spooky case of Mr. and Mrs. Warren
“The Conjuring: Last Rites”, which another entry of the Conjuring franchise, delivers more or less than what you can expect from it. While there is nothing particularly new or surprising here, the movie gives us a fair share of shock … Continue reading

Dark Nuns (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): It’s the time to bring nuns…
South Korean horror film “Dark Nuns”, which is a spin-off of “The Priests” (2015), is another typical exorcism flick with a bit of refreshing element. Again, the Catholic Church comes forward for fighting with the supernatural force of evil, but … Continue reading

The Exorcist: Believer (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Friedkin Wept
“The Exorcist: Believer”, the latest installment of the series which started with William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” (1973), did not scare or disturb me at all. While it surely tries to bring some freshness into its utterly familiar genre formula, the … Continue reading
Evil Dead Rise (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Another case of demonic possession
“Evil Dead Rise”, the latest installment from the Evil Dead series, did not impress me enough. While I appreciated how it tries to bring some fresh air to its very familiar genre premise, I was only mildly entertained by all … Continue reading
Anything for Jackson (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A Satanist couple in trouble
“Anything for Jackson” is a little horror film which turns out to be more morbid, humorous, and bizarre than expected. While unfolding its devious plot mainly via the viewpoint of an insidious old couple who seems be ready for doing … Continue reading
The Vigil (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): One very disturbing night in a Jewish household
“The Vigil” is a little spooky Jewish horror film which shows us its cards a bit too early and too much in my trivial opinion. While there are a number of effective moments which will surely unnerve you more than … Continue reading
