movie review

Movie reviews for horror fans; from gruesome bone-chillers to dark horror thrillers, a showcase for frightful films that seek to entertain and to terrify.

'The Witch'
Too often modern horror movies are not scary in the traditional sense. Classic horror films would unnerve you and stay with you for weeks after viewing them. Modern films tend to have people running around in the dark, screaming with dodgy camera work and every scare in the film is down to loud music cues and flash editing. In other words, the story itself isn’t scary or getting a reaction. The filmmakers have to use simple tools to get a response from the audience.

10 of the Scariest Movies that Aren't Horror Movies
We all may shrink in terror when we get a good jump scare or feel a certain chill when we seriously creepy movie villains in action, but there's a limit to how scary something fake can be. The terror you get from traditional horror movies are often limited by special effects or by the knowledge that it's just a guy in a costume.

Movie Review: 'A Quiet Place'
Welcome, everyone!! Wow!! This was the most quiet movie you will ever see in a theater and it was absolutely fantastic! From beginning to end, the movie caught all of our attention and left us at the edge of our seats. It was very suspenseful and it was sad when the father had to sacrifice himself to save his two children and left his family behind.

'A Quiet Place' Is Very Suspenseful but Falls a Little Short
All I knew about A Quiet Place before going to see it last night was that it was a horror film and making noise meant you were in big trouble. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski don’t waste any time expediting the urgency either, and the weight of the silence heightens the tension from the outset.

Top Horror Movies on Netflix
We all like Netflix. But what are some really good horror films they have? 47 Meters Down - Good movie. It's about two sisters who go on a vacation, they meet a couple guys and they decide to go shark diving. Except in a cage. The guys of course make it back up safely in the cage, but when the girls go down, oh boy! Something you will never catch me doing just because of this movie! I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet, but its definitely worth it! Piranha - Great! I love this movie. Don't ask why. It has some funny moments, but when the piranhas break free from the surface, hell literally breaks loose. It's basically teenagers at the beach in a small town for spring break. But the movie itself revolves around the sheriff and her kids. Jump on and watch it! The Conjuring - Well, it's about a doll that actually exists! That's the scary thing about it. The actual paranormal experts in this movie are real, and they own their own museum with A LOT of different haunted objects. The doll itself is locked in a glass case with a warning that basically says, "Do NOT open!" Pretty freaky right? Teeth - Ok, this one gave me nightmares. The girl has teeth, actual teeth between her legs! So if she gets freaky with some guy, his crotch goes bye bye! That's messed up. Who came up with this idea? It's horrifying! Stitches - If you like clowns, you'll like this one. The clown dies during a birthday party and comes back. But I must admit, it has some funny moments! I mean why not? He's a clown! The Descent - You won't find me going down into a dark cave. It's a good movie to check out. It follows a group of women into a cave, like explorers or rock climbers. The creatures they run into are blind but can hear very good! So don't make a sound while you're inside a dark cave! Not to mention, the second movie is also on Netflix. You're welcome! Day of The Dead: Bloodline - Zombies! It basically starts out normal. A young woman as a student trying to work in a morgue, kind of like a doctor. She has a creepy stalker who is in love with her. But of course, everything goes down hill very quickly! This is one movie I definitely recommend you checking out! Pandemic - Kinda similar to a Zombie outbreak. But it goes in stages. Stage one, you're not a ravenous brain hungry monster. Then all the way up to stage five, full on "I'm gonna eat you!" It follows a woman basically trying to get back home to her daughter and husband. She lies about being a doctor from the CDC. But don't worry, that's all I will say about it. Go watch it!

Movie Review: 'Truth or Dare'
Truth or Dare, or Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare, if we are skirting copyright issues, is a silly, silly movie filled with dopey characters on a pointless quest for their miserable lives. As directed by Jeff Wadlow, the director behind the abysmal, franchise-killing Kick Ass 2, Truth or Dare takes a child’s game and renders it even more insipid and hateful than it already is.

Review: 'Ghost Stories'
British horror is a sub-genre that has certainly had its shining moments. I consider that to be in the 60s—particularly the Hammer Horror films.

Review: 'Unsane'
While many are focused on Steven Soderbergh’s mode of filming Unsane, they might miss just how exceptional the film truly is. The fact that Soderbergh, the auteur behind Traffic, Erin Brockovich, and the mind behind mainstream blockbusters like the Oceans franchise, made Unsane on several different iPhones is certainly notable, but the important thing to know is that he has made one incredibly chilling horror thriller.

5 Horror Movies for Non-Horror Fans
Sometimes loving horror isn’t easy. While we personally love having the crap scared out of us, or watching a bunch of teens being brutally devoured, for others it’s a living nightmare. We all have that one person in our lives who flatly refuses to watch anything that remotely resembles a horror, either out of a lack of appreciation for the genre, or simple because the idea of deliberately terrifying ourselves for pleasure is moronic, or legitimately terrifying. If you’re lucky it’s someone you don’t care for, a friend of a friend you see occasionally and begrudgingly. Other times it is your significant other or best friend. If the latter is the case you are in deep trouble. When it comes to spending quality time with good friends the last thing you want to do is waste it arguing over what to watch.
