Bad Hair (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her new hair has a price to pay…
Justin Simien’s new film “Bad Hair” attempts a spooky mix of cultural horror and satire, and I was sort of amused by that despite my remaining dissatisfaction with the overall result. Although it is not wholly successful due to its … Continue reading
The Power (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her first night shift
“The Power” is a little spooky horror film shrouded in creepy darkness. While it has several effective moments to be appreciated, the movie often falters in case of handling its two different kinds of horrors in addition to being hampered … Continue reading
Freaky (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Freaky Friday the 13th
“Freaky”, which is incidentally released “Freaky Deathday” in South Korean theaters, is a little fun horror comedy film which accomplishes its tasks as well as intended in its small genre playground. Although its juxtaposition of two familiar story promises is … Continue reading

Nocturne (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A sibling rivalry
“Nocturne”, which was released on Amazon Prime a few weeks ago, is a psychological horror film which has some little fun with its familiar story and characters. Here is a young heroine very eager to go further for her artistic … Continue reading
Evil Eye (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Mother is quite worried…
“Evil Eye”, which was released on Amazon Prime a few weeks ago, works to some degree despite its preposterous story premise. During its first two acts, the movie builds its psychological tension well as focusing on the believable personal relationship … Continue reading
Black Box (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): As he regains his memories
“Black Box”, which was released on Amazon Prime a few days ago, entertained me enough as digging a bit into its familiar genre territories. If you have ever watched similar genre pieces like Christopher Nolan’s “Memento” (2000), you will know … Continue reading
Vampire vs. the Bronx (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Young vampire hunters in Bronx
“Vampire vs. the Bronx”, which was released on Netflix in last week, is as silly and funny as suggested by its very title. While reminiscent of many different vampire horror films ranging from TV miniseries “Salem’s Lot” (1979) to “Fright … Continue reading
#Alive (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A mediocre South Korean zombie flick
Some of you probably know how much I have been getting tired of zombie movies. Except several notable cases such as “28 Days Later…” (2002) or “Zombieland” (2009), most of those zombie flicks did not entertain or terrify me much … Continue reading
The Hunt (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Liberal elites hunting deplorable conservatives
Craig Zobel’s new film “The Hunt” is a mildly amusing horror comedy about a bunch of liberal elites hunting deplorable conservatives. While it looks promising as rapidly throwing a series of nice surprises during its first act, it comes to … Continue reading
The Rental (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A competent test run by Dave Franco
Dave Franco’s debut feature film “The Rental” is a modest test run for his nascent filmmaking career. Although it will not surprise you much especially if you are familiar with its genre territory, it is mostly competent on the whole … Continue reading
