Sleepy Hollow – Film Review
The spooky season is upon us, so I thought I’d kick off the streak of horror and supernatural-themed movies with Tim Burton’s gory and atmospheric take on the classic short story.
Obsession – Film Review
I finally watched this horror movie, a rare example of a genuine word-of-mouth phenomenon, and thought that the hype was mostly justified. While not especially scary, it’s well-acted, disturbing and darkly funny.
The Night of the Hunter – Film Review
This 1955 Southern Gothic thriller turned out to be a lot more bizarre than I anticipated, an eerie blend of film noir and children’s fairy tale, with a villain for the ages.
28 Years Later – Film Review
The sequel to the zombie classic may be messy and disjointed, but I always have time for flawed oddball movies that take chances, even if they bite more than they can chew.
It Follows – Film Review
A horror movie with a simple, original and brilliantly unnerving premise, It Follows may not be perfect but it was effective enough to wreck my night’s sleep afterwards.
Beetlejuice – Film Review
In honour of Halloween, I thought I’d check out yet another 80s classic I’ve never watched before, a ghoulish supernatural comedy from Tim Burton that may be slight on story and characters but is still utterly charming and inventive.
The Omen (1976) – Film Review
It’s the spooky season, so I thought I’d revisit this iconic horror film that had scarred my childhood.
The Substance – Film Review
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of body horror, but I really loved this brash, bold and obscene fable that feels like a work of singular vision despite easily spotted influences.
