Movie reviews for horror fans; from gruesome bone-chillers to dark horror thrillers, a showcase for frightful films that seek to entertain and to terrify.

Review: 'Unsane'
While many are focused on Steven Soderbergh’s mode of filming Unsane, they might miss just how exceptional the film truly is. The fact that Soderbergh, the auteur behind Traffic, Erin Brockovich, and the mind behind mainstream blockbusters like the Oceans franchise, made Unsane on several different iPhones is certainly notable, but the important thing to know is that he has made one incredibly chilling horror thriller.

5 Horror Movies for Non-Horror Fans
Sometimes loving horror isn’t easy. While we personally love having the crap scared out of us, or watching a bunch of teens being brutally devoured, for others it’s a living nightmare. We all have that one person in our lives who flatly refuses to watch anything that remotely resembles a horror, either out of a lack of appreciation for the genre, or simple because the idea of deliberately terrifying ourselves for pleasure is moronic, or legitimately terrifying. If you’re lucky it’s someone you don’t care for, a friend of a friend you see occasionally and begrudgingly. Other times it is your significant other or best friend. If the latter is the case you are in deep trouble. When it comes to spending quality time with good friends the last thing you want to do is waste it arguing over what to watch.

Review: 'A Quiet Place'
While horror is a genre I don't find as much success in, if it has a great concept, then I am up for checking it out. This latest one has a particular idea that seemed to have the potential to have strong crowd participation in order to get a highly memorable experience.

'47 Meters Down' (2017)
“Lisa, you need to calm down.We need to get out of here!If you do not calm down, we will die here!” In The Shallows, Blake Lively at least had a rock in the ocean on which she sat safely while a huge shark circled around her. That was frightening enough. In 47 Meters down, two helpless women are trapped in a steel cage while being attacked by such bloodthirsty, basking sharks. And there’s another problem they have to deal with: Oxygen deficiency. There are more pleasant ways to spend your holiday somewhere at an exotic destination. So you see, it’s better to follow your instinct (or someone else’s) in such a way that you are spared from such life-threatening situations.

My Review of 'Insidious: The Last Key'
The beginning is really hard to watch. All too often children are hit, punished or beaten for "lying" because they see things others' don't. I was once, one of those children. Yes, before you ask, my mother was very understanding... my father not so much. He truly believed I was lying. The movie immediately hit uncomfortably close to home. (Though I was very blessed to not be poisoned and collared to a wall, and my father wasn't a sociopath as far as I know). She left home at 16. I left home at 17.

Frightening Horror Movies That Were Banned
Horror movies tend to be offensive by design, primarily because they tend to focus in on topics and themes that aren't always suitable for wider audiences. They are violent, often will involve sacrilegious elements to their storyline, and may even aim for the "shock factor" in horror.

Indie Horror Films You Have Probably Missed
Apart from the fact that you may have missed them for this very reason, the indie horror films from far and wide have showcased innumerable pleasures for those who not only love the horror genre, but prefer extreme terror over all. Even for the people who love the older films more (we all watch the classics after all), not all the given indies are for everyone, and even more of them simply shouldn't be watched by all eyes.

Underrated Horror Films from the 90s
Though they may be nothing like A Nightmare on Elm Street or Silence of the Lambs, these underrated horror films from the 90s have been overlooked for a variety of reasons and tend to be ignored, even though deserving of far more acclaim than they have actually acquired. Either way, they're still historical pinpoints in a rather interesting decade that had proved to be, itself, a blending of various controversies. Likewise, these films stuck to meshing themes of sci-fi and humor with that of some quality horror, yet still fell by the wayside upon release due to either disinterest from various viewers, or simply poor returned reviews by critics.

A Common Man's View: 'Hush'
Currently trending in Netflix's horror scene is a delightful little flick called Hush. Mike Flanagan's 2016 slasher has come across my path a few times over the past year, and I vehemently avoided it, like I do most shadows lurking in my oft-empty house. I wish I had done a bit more research before turning it away, I always know a Blumhouse film is sure to enthrall me.
