Doctor Sleep (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): An eclectic sequel between King and Kubrick
Mike Flanagan’s new film “Doctor Sleep” is an eclectic sequel sandwiched between two contrasting sources of inspiration: Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick. While officially based on King’s novel of the same name which is a sequel to his famous horror … Continue reading
Cat People (1942) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Beware, she may scratch
“Cat People” is a little classic B-horror film which creeps us out as demonstrating well the value of our fear and dread on whatever is lurking there in darkness. Although we do not see much of what scares its main … Continue reading
Little Monsters (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Nyong’o could do it alone, I think
“Little Monsters”, a little zombie comedy film from Australia, works whenever its lead actress appears on the screen, and it is a shame that the movie does not utilize her undeniable talent and presence as much as expected from its … Continue reading
3 From Hell (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): They’re back…
Rob Zombie’s latest work “3 From Hell” is morbid, violent, and humorous as your average seedy exploitation horror film. Although it is relatively less enjoyable than its predecessor “The Devil’s Rejects” (2005) for a number of reasons, I will not … Continue reading

Warning: Do Not Play (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Searching for one cursed horror flick
South Korean film “Warning: Do Not Play” is a little mystery horror flick alternatively creepy and amusing for its main target audiences. While being as sinister and ominous as required, the movie often throws some wryly amusing moments to be … Continue reading
The Dead Don’t Die (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A slow, languid zombie flick by Jim Jarmusch
Jim Jarmusch’s latest film “The Dead Don’t Die” is as slow and languid as many of his previous works. Although I have no problem with that at all, the movie feels like a one-joke movie stretched a bit too long, … Continue reading
Midsommar (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Horror Under the Sun
Ari Aster’s second feature film “Midsommar” is one hell of horror film. Alternatively unsettling and spellbinding from the beginning to the end, the movie dexterously lures us into the weird and disturbing circumstance surrounding its main characters, and then it … Continue reading
