Netflix film “Fear Street Part Two: 1978”, which was released on last Friday, tries to bring some fresh air into its genre territory just like its predecessor. Again, we are served with a gruesome horror tale of serial killing coupled … Continue reading
Werewolves Within (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A nutty werewolf murder mystery
“Werewolves Within” is a nutty whodunnit flick which often delighted me with its cheerful mix of horror, mystery, and comedy. Within its familiar genre territory clearly influenced by “And Then There Were None” (1945) as well as “The Thing” (1982), … Continue reading
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): He has other issues besides that….

Gaia (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little spooky eco horror film from South Africa

The Dark and the Wicked (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Something insidious at their family farm
“The Dark and the Wicked” is a simple but effective horror flick which distinguishes itself a bit with its suffocatingly insidious atmosphere. While its story promise is familiar to the core, the movie keeps holding our interest as steadily accumulating … Continue reading
A Quiet Place Part II (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): They must be quiet as before
“A Quiet Place Part II” is a nice sequel which expands its story and characters a bit for whatever may come next. Although it is understandably not that fresh mainly because of what its predecessor so entertainingly achieved on the … Continue reading
The Amusement Park (2019) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): A little hidden masterwork by George A. Romero
Here’s what happened. In 1973, George A. Romero, who had just made “Season of the Witch” (1972) and was about to make “The Crazies” (1973) at that time, was hired to make a little educational film about elder abuse, and … Continue reading
Jakob’s Wife (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The preacher’s bloody-thirsty wife
