dead by dawn

I was very tempted to just make this review one line. An obvious one. I really just wanted to say: "Forget about it." That sums up my attitude to Amnesia, a horribly disappointing thriller that simply compounds its glaring errors by taking…

When Animals Dream is an impressive, thoughtful horror movie that mixes themes and atmosphere from films such as Ginger Snaps and Let The Right One In. It's all about a young woman named Marie (Sonia Suhl) who has her transition to…

Blood Punch is a horror comedy that's light on bloodshed and any scares. So maybe it's best just to label it as a comedy. Then again, you've got an isolated cabin in the middle of the woods, a high (albeit unusual) bodycount, and some…

The Pool (or De Poel, to use the title as it is displayed in its native tongue) is a psychological horror movie that alternates between moments of creepiness and occasional nastiness to make you wince. It doesn't exactly shake up the genre,…

Welp AKA Cub is a film full of familiar horror movie tropes. There's a large group of people (read = potential victims) setting up camp in the middle of the woods. There are lethal booby traps. And there's an urban legend that may turn out…

I must say that I didn't love Abductee, but I did like it. In fact, the more I thought about it the more I came to like it. It certainly won't be for everyone, at least one person I watched it with disliked it, but it treads its own path in…

Undeniably interesting as a look at how any major trauma can shape and haunt a person for years, perversely defining them even as they spend their entire life perhaps racing away from that definition, My Amityville Horror is a flawed…

Dead Shadows starts well. It really does. Director David Cholewa, working from a script by Vincent Jule, introduces some potentially interesting, likeable characters, sets up the premise nicely and shows a number of influences that bode…
