The Bride! (2026) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This bride is wild!
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s latest film “The Bride!” is a wild mess which alternatively fascinates and distracts you. Loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic novel “Frankenstein”, the movie attempts to try a lot of different things ranging from horror to musical, … Continue reading

Nia DaCosta’s new film “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”, the sequel to “28 Years Later” (2025), is a dark and brutal horror story decorated with human evil and some raging zombies. While you will surely cringe more than once … Continue reading
Primate (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Menaced by a mad chimpanzee (no kidding)
“Primate” is your typical mad killer movie with a rather amusing twist on its story premise. This time, we get a murderously raging ape at the center of the story, and the movie surely has a lot of vicious but … Continue reading
Videodrome (1983) ☆☆☆(3/4): A grotesquely prophetic nightmare from Cronenberg
David Cronenberg’s 1983 film “Videodrome” is a grotesquely prophetic nightmare I still observe from the distance. There are a number of striking visual moments which have lingered on somewhere in my mind for more than 30 years, and they chillingly … Continue reading

Black Phone 2 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s back, of course.
“Black Phone 2” is a sequel which is seemingly unnecessary at first but turns out to be more entertaining than expected. While it is closely connected with its predecessor in terms of story and characters, the movie wisely avoids being … Continue reading
Exit 8 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Trapped in a loop
Japanese film “Exit 8” is simple but effective in its rather limited setting. Based on the 2023 Japanese video game of the same name, the movie follows the desperate struggles of a few figures helplessly trapped in a seemingly endless … Continue reading
Good Boy (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): From a dog’s viewpoint
“Good Boy” is a little genre film which tries something different, and I like that. Mainly driven by the viewpoint of one good dog, the movie unfolds its rather simple horror story step by step, and the growing sense of … Continue reading
Frankenstein (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The Shape of Creation
Guillermo del Toro’s latest film “Frankenstein”, which happens to be released in South Korean theaters before getting released on Netflix a few weeks later, is certainly something he is born to make. After all, he is an undeniably talented filmmaker … Continue reading
Weapons (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): After they are gone…
“Weapons” is a creepy horror thriller film which works best if you do not know a lot about the story and characters before watching it. After drawing your attention with a substantial amount of creepiness and anxiety on the screen, … Continue reading
