Review: Until Dawn
I am not sure who this movie is made for. After her sister goes missing, Clover brings her friends on the trail on which she was last seen. But in finding an isolated hotel, the group find themselves trapped for a night that seems to never end. Directed by Peter F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Shazam!)…
Review: Sinners
Ludicrous, but when it is all said and done, Sinners is a classic horror in the making. In 1930s America, young Samuel wants to become a blues guitarist. To achieve this dream, he joins a pair of twins who are setting up a new club house. But everyone’s plans and excitement are about to be…
Review: Wolf Man
It does have heart and conviction, but is a little too shallow. When husband and father Blake learns of his own father’s death, he takes his family to his woodland home to settle affairs. However, things quickly go wrong as something in the woods is hunting them. Wolf Man comes to us as the second…
Review: Nosferatu

Review: Heretic

Jack Delroy’s American late night talk show is struggling to hold ratings. “Night Owls”, becomes more outrageous and outlandish to stay relevant. So far as to invite the devil onto the show? Written and directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night with the Devil is…
Review: Abigail
Delightful, contemporary horror movie that keeps things simple. When a cherry-picked squad of kidnappers abduct a young girl, they discover they are in for a lot more than they bargained for. Directed by the minds behind Scream, Matt Bettinelli and Tyler Gillett, and also written by Scream author Guy Busick, Abigail has a similar flair…
Review: The Substance

French director Coralie…
