As I’ve said before, and bears repeating; I really hate spoilers. There’s often something about the early reveal of crucial plot-points that reeks of someone out to steal everyone else’s joy. That being said, what I stumbled upon an article from Wegotitcovered.com it confirmed what I long hoped about the latest entry to the Marvel […]
‘Early Milky Way’ image via hubblesite.com Success breeds imitation, and in the past ten years few movie companies have been successful as Marvel Studios. And while many in the Hollywood community seem surprised, if they had any idea of the pent-up demand for seeing characters like Iron Man, Falcon and many others that millions of […]
If you happen to be a fan of Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez’s 1999 found-footage horror The Blair Witch Project, then Adam Wingard’s sequel/reboot Blair Witch will feel very familiar. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Blair Witch follows the same beats as its predecessor, as James (the brother of Heather Donahue from The Blair Witch […]
I had never heard of Stacy Title’s The Bye Bye Man–or Stacy Title, which doesn’t sound like a real name, for that matter–before yesterday, but it’s a horror movie so it got my attention. What’s interesting is that it’s from STX Entertainment, who earlier this year released The Boy. It seems to me that they’re […]
As I have said time and again, I am not fond of remakes. More often than not they don’t add anything to the original–did we really need to know about Michael Myers difficult upbringing in Rob Zombie’s Halloween reboot?–or they add details that seemingly are there just to differentiate them from the original. The thing is, as […]
The Abandoned is a pretty decent horror movie, though you have to be patient with it because the ending isn’t exactly the culmination of everything that came before. I don’t mean to imply that it’s badly made–it’s not–but it rewards you for paying attention. And I have to mention the movie’s cinematographer, Zach Galler, […]
2013’s The Purge was always a guilty pleasure of mine, despite that if you take away the fascinating concept of a 12-hour period once a year in which you’re free kill whomever you want, you’re left with what is a simple home invasion thriller. With the 2014 sequel, The Purge: Anarchy the concept began to […]
Don’t Breathe is an interesting trailer that comes off as the anti-Hush, if you will. Hush, currently on Netflix, revolves a woman who–if I recall–loses her voice to a bout of meningitis at some point in her past. She ends up terrorized by a killer and she’s unable to call for help because the aforementioned infection robbed […]
I kind of like the idea behind David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out, but I am not sure how it stands up to scrutiny. After all, in the trailer the phantasm doesn’t appear in pitch darkness-which the title implies–but when there’s a nearby light source. This is an important distinction because my scariest moments tend to happen […]
