Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010) ☆☆☆(3/4): Bloody hilarious
To be frank with you, I should have been a little more generous to “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil”, which is still a hilarious mix of horror and comedy although more than 10 years passed since it came out. When … Continue reading
Under Paris (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The Shark in Paris (no kidding)
French Netflix film “Under Paris” attempts to have and eat its cake, and that is sort of amusing to me. On one hand, it wants to be a serious shark flick like Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” (1975), whose greatness still makes … Continue reading
Abigail (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little nasty hostage
“Abigail” is one bloody naughty horror film about a bunch of criminals stuck with their one little nasty hostage. While its trailer already revealed too much of its major surprise, you may enjoy the movie more if you do not … Continue reading
Where Evil Lurks (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Driven into an evil chaos
“Where Evil Lurks”, which was incidentally one of many different movies shown at the Jeonju International Film Festival early in this month, is a grimly captivating horror film which willingly pushes its evil chaos to the end, and I appreciate … Continue reading
The Hand (2023) ☆1/2(1.5/4): Stuck with an evil hand in the toilet
South Korean film “The Hand”, which is incidentally the last movie I happened to watch as a judge for one certain minor category of the upcoming Wildflower Film Awards ceremony of this year, starts with a supposedly intriguing horror story … Continue reading
Late Night with the Devil (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): When the devil was invited on air
“Late Night with the Devil” brings some fresh satiric spin to its familiar genre territory, and I like that. Yes, this is basically another your average found footage horror film, but it is a skillful genre product packaged with some … Continue reading
The First Omen (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A spooky prequel to enjoy
To my little astonishment, “The First Omen”, a prequel to Richard Donner’s well-known horror film “The Omen” (1976), is more entertaining and interesting than I expected. As a matter of fact, the movie is one or two steps above “The … Continue reading
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
