The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): The autopsy of one spooky corpse

Personal Shopper (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Shrouded in odd, nervous ambiguity

Krampus (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): Here’s a scary, naughty Christmas treat for you
“Krampus” is a scary, naughty Christmas treat for you if you are ever tired of those platitudinous Christmas family movies. While its early part looks like a naughtier version of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989), it is soon turned into … Continue reading
Under the Shadow (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Something wicked this way comes with the war
There are two different types of horror in “Under the Shadow”. One comes from a stark, harrowing allegory based on one harsh, gloomy historical background. The other comes from a creepy, insidious tale about the possibility of some unknown evil … Continue reading
