Umma (2022) ☆☆(2/4): Her mother returns to haunt her…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A hollow piece of nostalgia
“Ghostbusters: Afterlife” exists only for the nostalgia for its target audiences, and, unfortunately, that is all. Although it does try to recharge its franchise with a number of new characters at the beginning, the movie ultimately regurgitates old familiar elements … Continue reading
The Night House (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Alone in her house

Ghosts of War (2020) ☆☆(2/4): Soldiers stuck in a predictable haunted spot
“Ghosts of War” looks like an interesting hybrid of two different genres at first, but it ultimately lets us down a lot. While you may be entertained a bit by how different genre elements clash with each other for a … Continue reading
Detention (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A historical horror based on video game
Taiwanese film “Detention” is an interesting piece of historical horror which is incidentally based on a popular video game of the same name. Although I do not have any particular experience or knowledge on the eponymous video game, I was … Continue reading
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Stories that hurt
“Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” is a little creepy horror flick which serves us a number of good scary moments within our expectation. As a sort of hybrid between “Final Destination” (2000) and “Goosebumps” (2015), the movie does … Continue reading
