1922 (2017) ☆☆(2/4): The year when he killed his wife
Since the considerable success of “Carrie” (1976), many of Stephen King’s novels and short stories were adapted into movies during last 41 years, but 2017 is quite an interesting year because we have no less than four feature films based … Continue reading
Mother! (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): A no-holds-barred allegory from Darren Aronofsky
Regardless of whether you love it or hate it, “Mother!” is a no-holds-barred allegory which will shake you up a lot during your viewing. I must confess that I was baffled during its rather ponderous first act, but then I … Continue reading
It Comes at Night (2017) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Fear eats their soul…
While firmly and intensely sticking to its minimalistic setting, “It Comes at Night” works as a terrifying psychological horror film. As its few characters struggle with fears and uncertainties in their gloomy circumstance, the movie pushes them further to its … Continue reading
Gerald’s Game (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): A woman bound in danger
When I came across the trailer of “Gerald’s Game”, I was rather perplexed for good reasons. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, and that novel seems to be nearly impossible to be … Continue reading

Annabelle: Creation (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): That damn possessed doll
“Annabelle: Creation” is as scary as predicted while a bit better than expected. While we are surely served with many things you can expect from a horror flick featuring a malicious possessed doll and a creaky old house, the movie … Continue reading
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): The autopsy of one spooky corpse
“The Autopsy of Jane Doe” is as spooky as its very title suggests. Its story premise is pretty simple to say the least, but it is enjoyable to watch how the movie carefully accumulates the sense of dread around the … Continue reading
Raw (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): When she awakens to her carnal craving
Utterly disturbing and gruesome, French horror film “Raw” is definitely not for everyone. Since it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival early in last year, I have heard about how some audiences were quite disturbed or repulsed during its … Continue reading
The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): The girl with special hunger
Zombie apocalypse flicks are dime a dozen these days, but “The Girl with All the Gifts” injects some fresh new elements into its genre. While we get heaps of rotting zombies as usual, the movie intrigues and engages us via … Continue reading
