Murder Report (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A dangerous exclusive interview
South Korean film “Murder Report” is a taut and efficient thriller about one female journalist having an exclusive interview with a serial killer. Now you will instantly get a pretty good idea about what you will get, and the movie … Continue reading
Dangerous Animals (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A serial killer with sharks
“Dangerous Animals” is another typical horror film with a lot of sharks, but there is one thing to distinguish itself a bit among many other shark flicks which came out after Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” (1975). It has a crazy serial … Continue reading
Longlegs (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Something insidious this way comes to her…
Osgood Perkins’ latest horror film “Longlegs” is insidious and unsettling from the beginning to the end. Although you may get a bit impatient with its rather slow narrative pacing and loose storytelling, the movie keeps us on the edge with … Continue reading
Woman of the Hour (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Appearing with a serial killer on TV

Boston Strangler (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A dry, middling true crime drama
“Boston Stranger”, which is currently available on Disney+, is a dry, middling true crime drama which does not distinguish itself much in its growing genre territory. While surely reminiscent of not only “Spotlight” (2015) but also “Zodiac” (2007), the movie … Continue reading

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) ☆☆(2/4): A couple of losers still stuck together
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is a jumbled mess which is alternatively silly and disappointing. While there still is what made “Venom” (2018) work to some degree, the movie frequently falters as hurriedly pushing its story and characters to the … Continue reading
Freaky (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Freaky Friday the 13th
“Freaky”, which is incidentally released “Freaky Deathday” in South Korean theaters, is a little fun horror comedy film which accomplishes its tasks as well as intended in its small genre playground. Although its juxtaposition of two familiar story promises is … Continue reading

The House That Jack Built (2018) BOMB: A dreary exercise in cruelty and depravity
To be frank with you, I had some serious concern before watching Lars von Trier’s latest film “The House That Jack Built”. I heard that many audiences walked out of the screening room when it was shown at the Cannes … Continue reading
A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A sombre but intense noir thriller
Through its tarnished hero’s melancholic investigation process, “A Walk Among the Tombstones” looks into the dark, twisted face of human evil, and there are several chilling moments which will make you cringe or gasp for the horror implied during these … Continue reading
