Cuckoo (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): At one weird German Alps hotel
“Cuckoo” alternatively baffled and unnerved me with its deliberate oddness. Although I am not sure about whether it is as effective as intended, I admire how it gradually dials up the level of its sinister suspense beneath the screen before … Continue reading
Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): It runs in the family…
“Final Destination Bloodlines”, the latest sequel of the Final Destination series, is actually better than expected. Just like its several predecessors including “Final Destination” (2000), the movie surely and firmly sticks to its diabolical rule on how to eliminate its … Continue reading
Final Destination (2000) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Destined to die horribly
To be frank with you, I have somehow avoided watching “Final Destination” and its several sequels during last 25 years. Even when the movie came out in 2000, the movie did not interest me much because it looked like another … Continue reading

Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A cheerful (and spooky) high school horror comedy film
I could not help but get tickled more than once while watching South Korean film “Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary”, which is as ridiculously funny as its rather long title suggests. Clearly influenced by not only “Whispering Corridors” … Continue reading
Arcadian (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): In their arcadian post-apocalyptic world
“Arcadian” tries to tackle its very familiar genre territory, and I like its earnest attempt to some degree. Yes, the overall result is still basically another typical post-apocalyptic horror drama film which does not break any new ground in my … Continue reading

Azrael (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A wordless post-apocalyptic horror flick
When did I begin to notice Samara Weaving? Well, that was actually not a long time ago at all, considering her delightful breakout performance in “Ready or Not” (2019). Since that point, she has impressed us more and more as … Continue reading
Presence (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A presence in the house
Steven Soderbergh has tried many different things during last several years. Although he announced his decision to retire around the time when he gave us “Side Effects” (2013) and “Behind the Candelabra” (2013), he came back in business with little … Continue reading
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
