Exhuma (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A bad grave
Good horror movies usually need a substantial amount of conviction for making themselves work, and South Korean horror film “Exhuma” has plenty of that. While I do not believe much of what its main characters talk about, the movie did … Continue reading
Poor Things (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The odd adventure of one wild creature
Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film “Poor Things” is another idiosyncratic fun to be savored. While it is as darkly absurd as his recent films such as “The Lobster” (2015) and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” (2017), it is also as … Continue reading
Club Zero (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Teaching “conscious eating”
Jessica Hausner’s new film “Club Zero” coldly unnerves us with a series of increasingly disturbing moments. While these very uncomfortable moments are presented with artistic precision and control, the movie merely feels distant and hollow in terms of story and … Continue reading
Badland Hunters (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A post-apocalyptic flick starring Ma Dong-seok
Netflix film “Badland Hunters”, which was released in last week, is a redundant sequel to acclaimed South Korean film “Concrete Utopia” (2023), which was incidentally one of my best South Korean films of last year. While “Concrete Utopia” is a … Continue reading
Talk to Me (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Playing with possession
“Talk to Me” is a little but impressive Australian horror flick which handles its familiar horror materials better than expected. As a seasoned moviegoer, I surely knew what I would get from it from the very beginning, but I still … Continue reading
The Boogeyman (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Be afraid of darkness…
“The Boogeyman” did not scare or impress me much. I must confess that I was often afraid of sleeping in my dark bedroom at night when I was a little young boy, but the movie failed to touch upon my … Continue reading
The Exorcist: Believer (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Friedkin Wept
“The Exorcist: Believer”, the latest installment of the series which started with William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” (1973), did not scare or disturb me at all. While it surely tries to bring some freshness into its utterly familiar genre formula, the … Continue reading
The Conference (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A deadly conference
Swedish Netflix film “The Conference”, which was released a few days ago, is a viciously violent but undeniably amusing at least. Although its setting is derived from many other similar genre films ranging from “Friday the 13th” (1980) to “Severance” … Continue reading
Totally Killer (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Scream mixed with Back to the Future
“Totally Killer”, which was released on Amazon Prime a few days ago, is another familiar genre mix which thankfully has enough entertaining moments to hold our attention to the end. As slyly recognized in the film, this is basically a … Continue reading

No One Will Save You (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Katilyn Dever carries the whole show
“No One Will Save You”, which is currently on Disney+ in South Korea, is a little horror film which depends a lot on its talented lead actress’ strong performance. Nearly wordless throughout the film, she deftly swings around several different … Continue reading
