I have yet to see Dark, but I’ve heard good things about it and intend to soon though having completed the followup, 1899 – review forthcoming! – if it’s half as good it’s going to be remarkable. And I have no intention of talking about what happens – beyond the obvious, which is to say […]
According the The Hollywood Reporter, Bryan Fuller is developing a series that will serve as a prequel to Friday the 13th, called ‘Crystal Lake,’ which begs the question: How is that supposed to work when the drowning of Mrs. Voorhees’ (Betsy Palmer) son triggered all the murder (because, unlike what most people probably think, initially […]
The last two episodes of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities are wonderful for entirely different reasons. Panos Cosmatos’ The Viewing – by my reckoning – revolves primarily around a very atypical alien invasion, though it so strongly embodies the stylistic flourishes he brought to movies like Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010) and Mandy (2018) […]
I thought the first two episodes of Cabinet of Curiosities were strong, but not outstanding. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not to imply that I didn’t like them on any level, though the first, Lot 36, didn’t quite come together as well as it could have. And in doing so, while it didn’t spoil the […]
I took a look at the first two episodes of Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and it’s a great looking show, perhaps the most ambitious anthology series made for television. Which should be expected with Del Toro executive producing and having directors like Guillermo Navarro (a renown cinematographer who has worked on 50 feature […]
I really wanted to love Hulu’s reboot/relaunch/continuation of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser and while there were many pleasures to be found – for instance, Ben Lovett’s music and Eli Born’s cinematography – there was one problem that I found to be unforgivable, virtually a cardinal sin as far as relaunching anything goes. And that’s knowing when […]
Earlier today the official trailer for Hulu’s Hellraiser dropped, and it features a FEMALE Pinhead! I emphasize that because that’s what the trailer does and I find it confusing because there never been anything intrinsically male about Pinhead – beyond being played by a male actor – in that I could see the character easily […]
As you’re probably aware, Netlfix’s has already canceled Resident Evil after a single season. And that really cheeses me off because Sony somehow managed to keep making Resident Evil movies even when every movie after the first sucked (now that I think about it even the first wasn’t that great though it was at least […]
Is Millie Bobby Brown British? I’m reasonably certain with a name like that that she isn’t, but in her interview with The Wrap she definitely sounds like she’s ‘putting on airs’ though that’s not what I’m writing about today. What I’m referring to is Brown calling the Duffer Brothers ‘Sensitive Sallies’ over their reluctance to […]
Visually I really enjoyed David Blue Garcia’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre for it’s retro approach to horror, which is to say the movie offered ample amounts of gore, most of which looked practical. It’s not something you often see these days, so it’s always welcome when you do. What I didn’t particularly like is that the […]
