movie review
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.
According to our assessment, 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' is a Terrifically Moody ARG Horror Movie.
One of my favorite YouTube rabbit holes is Alternate Reality Games, or ARGs. ARGs are a sort of interactive online mystery in which viewers and players track and record clues to a central mystery. These stories usually include elements of true crime, such as a murder or an urban legend, suspects and clues, and new uses of YouTube, Reddit, and other forms of social media to enhance the mystery. The stories are filled with information, and it's easy to lose track of time when reading them.

'Morbius' Movie Review
In Sony's latest non-MCU Marvel villain origin movie, Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) attempts to cure his unspecified blood disease, as well as that of his childhood friend Milo (Matt Smith), by mixing his DNA with bat DNA. The serum he creates succeeds in restoring his strength, but it also turns Morbius into a real-life vampire, and he must continue to consume blood in order to maintain his newly regained strength. But FBI agents Stroud (Tyrese Gibson) and Rodriguez (Al Madrigal) are hunting him down, and his only true ally is his associate, Dr. Martine Bancroft (Adria Arjona).

Movie Review: 'Room 203' Hopes You Are Afraid of the Dark
Room 203 is yet another horror movie that mistakes darkness for atmosphere. This by the numbers exercise in haunted house and demon possession tropes is, at times, so dark, in terms of what you can see, that trying to follow the story is impossible. Perhaps the movie might look better on a big screen, but watching on a professionally set up HD Television, I felt like I was staring into a dark room while stock music played.

Movie Review: 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' is a Terrifically Moody ARG Horror Movie. Top Story - April 2022.
One of my favorite YouTube rabbit holes to fall into is Alternate Reality Games or ARG’s. An ARG is an interactive online mystery that invites people watching and participating to keep track of and document clues to a central mystery. These stories often involve elements of true crime, they begin with a murder or an urban legend, they have suspects and clues and make use of YouTube, Reddit and various other forms of social media to expand the mystery in unique ways. The stories are densely packed and easy to get lost in for a few hours.

Movie Review: 'Kicking Blood' is a Nice Twist on the Vampire Genre
Kicking Blood stars Alanna Bale as Anna, a vampire. Anna has a taste for blood and while she is a murderer, she tends to enact her need for blood on bad people who deserve to have their life force sucked out by a vampire. Her first kill, that we see, is that of a man who works at the same library where Anna works. First, Anna witnesses this jerk breaking the heart of her elderly co-worker all while also acting creepy toward Anna.

Movie Review: 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is Haunting and Tense
The Yellow Wallpaper opens on a shocking sight. A family of three is in a carriage on their way to a country home for the summer. A mother, a father, and a small baby that will not stop crying. After the husband demands that the wife do something about the crying baby, she picks up the child and hurls it out of the window of the movie carriage. It’s a striking scene, one deeply symbolic of the rest of the movie which takes on postpartum depression through the lens of a horror movie.

‘Vampire’s Kiss’ - A Misunderstood Stroke of Genius. Top Story - March 2022.
In 1988, director Robert Bierman, writer Joseph Minion, and star Nicolas Cage brought to a life a little movie called Vampire’s Kiss. It was the story of a pretentious publishing executive named Peter Loew who, following a one-night stand with a biter played by Jennifer Beals, believes himself to be a vampire. Over the course of the film, he spirals further and further into insanity, and by the end, the audience is still not quite sure what all was real or simply in his head. The movie provides Cage with the opportunity to show just how far he’s willing to go for a role, and his 100% unhinged performance has become rather infamous. This has led to a lot of people seemingly misinterpreting the film, both tonally and thematically. As one who loves both the movie and its star, I really wanted to give my thoughts on this oddly divisive curiosity of a film.

An Experimental Review: "Jack's Back"
Hi All! In this post, I will be discussing the film "Jack's Back" as I watch it again, for what is likely the 7th or 8th time. I made some YouTube videos referencing my experience(s) watching it before, but this time around, it will be the main and complete focus of one.

Movie Review: 'Godforsaken' is a Wild Ride of a Horror Movie
Godforsaken looks as if it was made on cellphone cameras on a budget of maybe two bucks. And yet, despite the low budget aesthetic, it’s as bracing and terrifying as any horror movie released in the last several years. This extremely DIY zombie movie crosses horror subgenres and aesthetics and through ingenuity and gusto manages to craft some of the most genuine scares that I have experienced since I became a cynical, seen-it-all before film critic.
