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.
Psycho (1960)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

Film Review: Doctor Sleep
People have a real love/hate relationship with sequels in general, but horror fans can be tougher sells than most. That goes double when you’re talking about a sequel to a masterpiece like Kubrick’s The Shining. However, it’s hard for even diehard sequel haters to deny that Dr. Sleep looks promising on paper. It’s directed by the talented Mike Flanagan (Hush, Gerald’s Game), based on a hit novel by Stephen King, and stars the consistently great Ewan McGregor (Nightwatch), but does it actually deliver or are you better off simply re-watching The Shining instead?

My Review of "Brightburn"
Brightburn is a movie that came out back in 2019 and I'm surprised as to how it isn't as popular as it should be. Seeing as the Superman franchise is so popular it should have been a shoe in for this movie to make it big because it is basically a retelling of the origin story of Superman but with a big twist. Instead of a good Superman we get an evil Superman, plus the movie is changed to a horror movie.

The Birds - A Movie Review
Birds are not aggressive to the world, they are beautiful creatures - so you believe. The Birds flew into theaters in 1963. Upon following a man to Bodega Bay, California, strange situations arise. Attacking people for no reason. Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner fight to protect each other during these terrifying attacks.

6-Headed Shark Attack Movie Review
As any die-hard Jaws fan can tell you, it’s just not summer without at least one good (or better yet, not so good) shark movie to take in over a six pack and some popcorn. This year brought us 6-Headed Shark Attack, the latest of Asylum’s campy sequels to 2012’s low-budget 2-Headed Shark Attack.

Stephen King Hates "The Shining". Why?
We all know it. We all love it. The Halloween season is upon us and, appropriately, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is playing on many of our televisions. Some consider it to be the epitome of horror films. Seriously. Look up any list of the greatest horror films of all time, and this one is likely to be on the list, if not at the very top. It's an adaptation of a book written by the master of horror himself, Stephen King. So why is it that King has never been fond of the film?
