House on Eden – Where Found Footage Finally Flatlines
"For most, it lands as a pale reflection of a classic, underscoring that sometimes the scariest thing a horror movie can show us is that the format itself might be dead." https://t.co/LvV8xHJw3y

Roots of Guilt: Bark Ties a Man to His Own Demons in the Depths of the Forest

Saul Muerte

From Crawl to Climax: Kiss of the Tarantula Finds Its Fangs in the Final Act
"Kiss of the Tarantula is far from a lost classic. It’s a curiosity, an example of 1970s regional horror that never quite capitalises on its deliciously twisted concept." https://t.co/oxJj32cHtq

Detectives, Damnation, and Derrickson: Revisiting Hellraiser: Inferno
"It’s both frustrating and oddly fascinating—a film that feels at once forgettable and, in retrospect, a small but notable stepping stone for Derrickson."

SUFF Movie Review: Pater Noster and the Mission of Light
Bickel has crafted a nightmare that’s equal parts grindhouse revival, cult exposé, and vinyl collector’s hallucination — a low-budget hymn that worms its way into your soul, humming as it feeds.

Somnium isn’t flawless but when it works, it works surprisingly well. By the time the film plunges headfirst into its unsettling final stretch, Cain makes good on her promise: dreams do come true, though rarely the way you expect.

Retrospective: Crocodile (2000)
"In the grand swamp of creature features, Crocodile barely makes a ripple."

The Skull (1965) – A Chilling Showcase of Horror Icons | Surgeons of Horror
60th ANNIVERSARY
Elevated by the formidable talents of Cushing and Lee, it remains an interesting exploration of psychological horror

Lord of Illusions: 30 Years On — The Final Bow of a Caged Visionary | Surgeons of Horror
"An intriguing, if flawed, finale remains a fascinating coda to Barker’s filmic voice—a magician’s final act before stepping off the stage.

Retrospective: Teen Wolf (1985)
" It doesn’t howl with greatness, but like a faded rental box at your local video store, it’s got just enough ‘80s magic to make you hit play one more time."

Movie Review: Night of Violence
"Konstantin deserves credit for swinging big and refusing to play it safe — Night of Violence certainly doesn’t lack passion or intent."

Movie Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
"Long story short, it’s not very good. But they’ve always been the poor relation to the SCREAM films. Unless you’re invested in this franchise. In which case you cheeky little R. Slicker 😉"

Movie Review: Row (2025)
"Losasso is a director with a keen eye for atmosphere and psychological stakes. Tightly woven, quietly haunting, and with shades of Hitchcockian influence, this is a thriller that pulls you in and refuses to let go."

Retrospective: Return of the Living Dead (1985)
"Still kicks, bites, and thrashes. Whether you’re here for the brains, the tunes, or the screaming, zombies, there’s no denying its impact on horror, punk culture, and midnight movie fandom."
Saul Muerte

Retrospective: The Bride (1985)
"The Bride is an experiment that looks exquisite in still frames but collapses under the weight of its own affected seriousness. There’s poetry in the concept, but very little pulse."

Retrospective: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
"Whether you’re watching it for the first time or the five-hundredth, there’s always a reason to return to that spooky old castle. After all, like the man said — don’t dream it, be it."

Movie Review: Weapons (2025)
"Cregger wants to excavate — to dig through the ruins of modern life and see what festers beneath. With Weapons, he’s pulled up something malformed, tragic, and oddly beautiful."
