A Scary Movie That Made Me Jump
This morning I was reading an excellent article by a very good writer friend of mine, Akos Peterbencze, and he set me back thinking quite a lot really. You see, I studied film at university and ended up teaching the subject. I also went into acting in film and television as an actor.

Movie Review: 'The Amusement Park' Lost George Romero Movie Found and Restored
I was perhaps a little too excited when I got word that a new George A. Romero movie from the early 1970s had been uncovered and fully restored. I, like so many others, am a huge fan of Romero from all of the Living Dead movies. He’s a storied figure in the history of horror and the notion that a piece of his work had been found and was fully restored, it captured my imagination and made me think that I was about to have a profound experience.

Honeydew Movie Review
If you’re a big fan of folk horror, then Devereux Milburn’s feature debut Honeydew just might appeal to you. It’s got the heavy atmosphere of The Witch, disturbing rural characters that might remind you of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and plenty of grotesque details to tempt gore lovers. It stars Sawyer Spielberg (yes, as in the son of Steven), Malin Barr, Barbara Kingsley, and Stephen D’Ambrose, among others. Milburn also co-wrote the film alongside talented cinematographer-producer Dan Kennedy.

Top 5 Psychological Horror Movies You Should Watch in 2021
Whether you're an avid watcher or are occasionally compelled into watching one with your friends, horror movies always manage to send chills down the spine with their unanticipated jump scares, eerie sound effects, and not so normal- well rather paranormal plot. The horror genre is considered to be imperfect without the inclusion of jump scares but really, horror, in general, is much more than Mr. Dummy Doll pouncing right at your screen.

Italy has given birth to some of the most influential horror movie trends in history. In particular I would like to highlight the sub genre known as Giallo that became popular in the 70's, as well as the Grindhouse gore flicks that followed in the 80's.

‘Army of the Dead’: A (Mostly) Earned Victory Shamble for Zack Snyder
It’s safe to say that no American filmmaker working today is quite as polarizing as Zack Snyder. Detractors renounce the Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel et al. director as the hack creator of one dour, bloated action epic after another. His fans either adore him unreservedly or appreciate his films as the work of a cynical vulgar auteur with an unflappable so-uncool-it’s-actually-cool aesthetic. Some claim he’s perversely patriotic; others argue he unearths the twisted, destructive core of American patriotism.

Movie Review: 'A Quiet Place: Part 2' is EXHAUSTING
I didn’t enjoy A Quiet Place Part 2, I endured it. John Krasinski’s budding horror franchise is utterly exhausting. I understand that tension is the bread and butter of this premise but at a certain point my excitement during A Quiet Place Part 2 morphed into the kind of feeling one has during a rigorous workout with a tyrannical trainer, I appreciate the necessity but I just want this to be over as soon as possible. Some will call it effective, I don’t entirely disagree with that notion. But I don’t think a feeling of weary relief that I can now go home is what the movie is intending.
