Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The passable first chapter
South Korean animation film “Exorcism Chronicle” is a modest genre piece simply doing some warm-up exercise for whatever may follow next. Probably because I remember too well the first entry of the short story series it is based on, there … Continue reading
The Gorge (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): What lies between them
“The Gorge”, which was released on Apple TV+ a few weeks ago, focuses on its two main characters first before eventually going for your average video game action, and I must confess that I enjoyed this process more than expected. … Continue reading
Infested (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Stuck wtih lots of spiders
French horror film “Infested” will definitely make one of my close friends wince and jump more than once. He really dislikes spiders to say the least, and he may think twice about watching “Infested” even though he actually enjoyed “Arachnophobia” … Continue reading
Mulholland Drive (2001) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): An ultimate David Lynch film
Somebody must be sad, regretful, and fading away. That is a lingering impression I get whenever I visit David Lynch’s 2001 film “Mulholland Drive”, which happens to be re-released here in South Korean theaters not long after Lynch’s death in … Continue reading
Dark Nuns (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): It’s the time to bring nuns…
South Korean horror film “Dark Nuns”, which is a spin-off of “The Priests” (2015), is another typical exorcism flick with a bit of refreshing element. Again, the Catholic Church comes forward for fighting with the supernatural force of evil, but … Continue reading

Handling the Undead (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Facing an inexplicable happening
Norwegian film “Handling the Undead” is a dry and detached genre piece simply going all the way for its unsettling mood. Without explaining a lot about its story premise, the movie calmly and distantly observes its several main characters facing … Continue reading
Nosferatu (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A grim and intense remake
Robert Eggers’ new film “Nosferatu” is something he has been destined to make. After all, his three previous films, “The Witch” (2015), “The Lighthouse” (2019), and “The Northman” (2022), are all intensely gothic in one way or another, and his … Continue reading
Let the Right One In (2008) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A vampire girl on the next door
Is there any vampire movie as sad and poignant as the 2008 Swedish film “Let the Right One In”? This is a hauntingly chilly romance horror tale of loneliness and desperation, and I am glad to report to you that … Continue reading
Heretic (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A twisted test on faith
“Heretic” is a modest but effective horror thriller film about religion and faith. Now it may sound solemn and ponderous to you, the movie does a fairly commendable job of balancing itself between humor and suspense, and it will keep … Continue reading
The Tenants (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): His problematic tenants
South Korean independent film “The Tenants” tries to be a quirky mix of SF, comedy, and a bit of horror. The overall result is amusing as sort of a satiric allegory on the current economic struggle of many people out … Continue reading
