Cocaine Bear (2023)
Posted on by fenrisfil
Today I’m reviewing Cocaine Bear. I’m experimenting with a faster review format, so no synopsis. Let’s see if I can clear my backlog starting with this fun B-movie.
Infinity Pool (2023)
Posted on by fenrisfil
For today’s review I’m looking at the 2023 movie “Infinity Pool”, staring the underappreciated Alexander Skarsgård (Most recently staring in one of the best movies and yet biggest flops of last year “The Northman”) and rising horror starlet Mia Goth (Who hit a double whammy last year with “X” and it’s prequel “Pearl”). The movie …
M3GAN (2023)
Posted on by fenrisfil
Time for my first review of a 2023 movie. In what is already looking like a decent year for horror (Possibly just because we don’t have another bad Halloween sequel to deal with, though we do have an Exorcist remake to be annoyed at later in the year), one of the first to hit theatres …
The Menu (2022)
Posted on by fenrisfil
Tonight’s movie is technically this is classed as a horror comedy, but it’s really a nihilistic dark comedy with an emphasis on the nihilism. Directed by Mark Mylod (Whose only previous feature was 2011’s Romcom “What’s Your Number?”) and is written by first time feature writers Seth Reiss and Will Tracy. The movie stars Ralph …
The Red House (1947)
Posted on by fenrisfil
So, we’re a week into November. I’ve had my post-October break, but my fingers are itchy to get to a new review done, so it’s time to start the Noirvember season! I’ve decided that moving forward I’m going to only give a brief synopsis instead of full plot. This way it’s easier to avoid spoilers, …
Pulse (2001)
Posted on by fenrisfil
So for my final review of the Halloween season (and Happy Halloween to anyone reading this on it’s publishing date) I decided to watch the Japanese ghost story “Pulse” from 2001. I have already seen the Americanised version from 2006, which despite a screenplay from Wes Craven, wasn’t especially good. It did however present interesting …
The Bad Seed (1956)
Posted on by fenrisfil
Today’s review is for the 1956 movie about a child psychopath, “The Bad Seed”. This was based on the play and novel by the same name and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. Despite the warning at the credits not to spoil the ending for other viewers, I will absolutely be spoiling it, since the ending factors …
Cronos (1993)
Posted on by fenrisfil
Tonight we delve deep into past of legendary film maker Guillermo del Toro. I first came across his work with Blade II in 2002 (Which I still maintain is way better than the first film), but it was actually a decade earlier that Guillermo made his feature film debut with the movie Cronos, a mostly …
Wait Until Dark (1967)
Posted on by fenrisfil
For tonight’s movie we’re going for more of a psychological thriller than an outright horror (Though it is X rated). This is the 1967 Audrey Hepburn classic “Wait Until Dark”. This was Hepburn’s final movie of her main run of movie stardom, after which she decided to semi-retire and she wouldn’t return to the screen …
