Back in the early 1980’s Stephen King decided to test if his continued success was still due to merit or simply being an established name. So he set up a Pseudonym, “Richard Bachman” and penned four novels. These novels included “Thinner”, “The Long Walk” and “The Running Man” which he released in 1982. His secret …

Frankenstein (2025)

Frankenstein is the movie that Guillermo Del Toro was born to make. Anyone familiar with his style and body of work will know this instinctively. The idea of the visionary director taking a crack at the ultimate tragic monster story is mouth watering. Guillermo is well aware of this himself and so was apparently hesitant …

For tonight’s movie I’m checking out the Russel Crowe lead exorcism horror “The Popes Exorcist”. This is a fictional story, based on a real life exorcists experiences. Specifically that of Father Gabriele Amorth. Perhaps the most famous real life exorcist, who has written multiple books on his experiences. The film stars Russel Crowe as Amorth, …

Tonight I’m looking at another movie this year that has generated a lot of hype. That is “Good Boy”, a horror film entirely from the perspective of a pet dog. This was made as a side passion project by director Ben Leonberg. He used his own dog, Indy (Which is also his name in the …

Weapons (2025)

Horror is booming. The entire genre has become a licence to print money and shows no sign of slowing down. That’s not to say every film has been a success, but the general rule of low costs and easy returns has made it most profitable. Horror and Anime are the only safe bets these days, …

Together (2025)

A horror movie that got a bit of hype this year (Though not as much as “Weapons”) was Michael Shanks feature film directorial debut “Together”. Written and directed by Shanks (Not the Stargate actor btw), but designed as a vehicle for husband and wife actors Dave Franco and Alison Brie. This is a loud and …

The Naked Gun (2025)

fenrisfil — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:48:18 +0000

Hollywood rarely does original these days and comedy reboots are becoming increasingly common. So it was only a matter of time before someone tried to reboot “The Naked Gun” (1988). I hear you saying “Reboot the naked Gun? Surely you can’t be serious?” and to which I say “That gag doesn’t work in text form …

Superman (2025)

fenrisfil — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:47:33 +0000

The moment has finally come for James Gunn’s relaunch of the shared DC cinematic universe. Starting like the previous incarnation with the introduction of Superman. Unlike Snyder’s version and unlike the MCU, this isn’t starting with a world that doesn’t know superheroes. Marvel built up slowly from Iron Man, bringing in heroes one by one. …

28 Years Later (2025)

fenrisfil — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 09:19:36 +0000

These days it is never considered too late for a sequel. So it’s not a shock to see Danny Boyle and Alex Garland dig up their “28” franchise. Its been 23 years since the pair launched the series with “28 Days Later” in 2002. The first sequel “28 Weeks Later” came out in 2007. Boyle …

Review Roundup – May 2025

fenrisfil — Tue, 13 May 2025 16:12:48 +0000

Spring quite definitely here. I had a quiet month in April here on Screen-Wolf. I didn’t want to touch Snow white with a barge pole and Minecraft seemed more meme than movie. May is likely going to be quiet too. However, I’ve still got a few recent releases to look at. These are all pretty …
