James Wan is seen as the modern master of horror cinema. He has mixed critical success and mainstream appeal. Malignant is his latest horror offering. Madison Mitchell (Annabelle Wallis) is a woman who has no memory of her life before she was eight. She’s also trapped in an abusive relationship. After one attack too many, a monster […]
The Night House was a horror film that made an incredible impression with its premiere being at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. After over a year and half, it has earned a wide release. Beth (Rebecca Hall) is a recently widowed English teacher after her husband, Owen (Evan Jonigkeit), has committed suicide. As well as struggling […]
In 2018 Universal saw a surprising hit with the release of Halloween, a modern set sequel to the original 1978 film, which ignored the muddied continuity of the previous sequels. This idea of a “Legacy Sequel” paid off big, both financially and critically, with the film being the most successful sequel to date. Realizing the […]
The 2016 horror film Don’t Breathe concludes with Stephen Lang’s “Blind Man” character tying up the protagonist and attempting to sexually assault her in the hopes she’d give birth to a new child to replace his late daughter. It is an exceptionally dark and disgusting place for the movie to have gone, but it went […]
It is well known by this point that M. Night Shyamalan is a frustrating filmmaker. His films are either mind-bending and brilliant (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Split), or shockingly awful with no redeeming qualities (The Last Airbender, The Happening, After Earth).

Although this weekend may be dominated by Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow, Netflix has offered up the latest installment of their Fear Street trilogy for those who prefer frights over tights. This spooky sequel, as the followup to last week’s Part One: 1994, sheds more light on the monsters and lore that haunt the unlucky town […]
Here’s a weirdly specific film-nerd opinion: a narrative arc spread over the course of three movies is the perfect stopping point for a series. I absolutely love a satisfying trilogy. This is why I get frustrated by the Amazing Spider-Man 2’s of the world – franchises that attempt the full trilogy journey, but collapse along […]
2018’s A Quiet Place was one of the most highly praised mainstream horror films in recent years, which is a remarkable feat considering the current horror renaissance. The sequel had a lot to live up to. A Quiet Place Part II starts where A Quiet Place left off with Abbotts discovering the monsters’ weakness, but their home is in ruins. […]
