Pig That Survived Foot-and-Mouth Disease (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Of Pigs and Men
South Korean independent animation film “Pig That Survived Foot-and-Mouth Disease” is not a pleasant work to watch at all. Mainly driven by the sheer madness and despair of the two different entities at the center of the story, the film … Continue reading
Leviticus (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): Now they should be really careful of each other
“Leviticus” is a moody but engaging horror film about two young gay men who find themselves in a serious peril due to their Christian elders. Although it is sometimes a little too dry or vague at times, the movie continues … Continue reading

Clayface (2026) ☆☆(2/4): A run-of-the-mill villain origin story
“Clayface”, which is the third product from DC Universe (DCU), is a run-of-the-mill villain origin story about which I cannot care that much. It apparently tries to follow the footsteps of not only Todd Phillips’ “Joker” (2019) but also a … Continue reading
Re-Animator (1985) ☆☆☆(3/4): A trashy fun with some goriness
Stuart Gordon’s 1985 film “Re-Animator” has a trashy fun with some goriness to be savored and admired, and its morbid sense of humor remains fairly intact even after more than 40 years. As an outrageously gruesome mix of horror and … Continue reading
Whalefall (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A terrifying survival drama inside a big whale
“Whalefall” is a terrifying survival drama mostly unfolded inside a big whale, and it does its job better than I expected. When I watched its trailer several weeks ago, I wondered whether the movie can actually work in terms of … Continue reading
Obsession (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): He should have been careful for what he wished for…
“Obsession” is a little nasty horror film which will surely remind you of that old saying: “Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it”. This time, the pathetic loser hero of the movie definitely regrets a lot … Continue reading
The Wicker Man (1973) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The return of a classic British horror film
As many of you know well, Robin Hardy’s 1973 film “The Wicker Man” has a pretty complicated history. Not long before it was released in movie theaters in UK at that time, the movie, whose initial running time was around … Continue reading
Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) ☆1/2(1.5/4): Such a bloody boring bad place this hell is…
Tony Randel’s 1988 film “Hellbound: Hellraiser II”, a sequel to Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser” (1987), is a bloody boring mess I observed from the distance without much care or attention. Sure, there are a number of well-made moments intended to disgust … Continue reading
Hellraiser (1987) ☆☆(2/4): It didn’t tear my soul apart at all
Clive Barker’s 1987 film “Hellraiser” did not tear my soul at all when I watched it for the first time via an old VHS copy in 1996. When I saw its promotional poster before that, it looked so scary to … Continue reading
The Odyssey (2026) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Nolan’s stark and gritty spectacle
Christopher Nolan’s new film “The Odyssey” is a stark and gritty spectacle quite determined to overpower and then exhaust you. Based on the ancient Greek work of the same name by Homer, the movie may disappoint you for not having … Continue reading
