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.

The 2018 Horror/Mystery Film 'The Nun'
The Nun (2018), a prequel in the Conjuring Universe, is visually stunning with its Gothic setting and eerie atmosphere. Taissa Farmiga's performance as Sister Irene is a highlight, but the film's reliance on jump scares and a disjointed plot weakens its impact. While the movie effectively creates a sense of dread, it lacks the depth and genuine terror found in earlier Conjuring films. Ultimately, The Nun offers a decent, though not exceptional, horror experience, appealing mainly to fans of the franchise.

The Time Loop
The alarm clock buzzed at 7:00 AM, its grating sound dragging Sarah from her restless sleep. She groggily slapped the off button and sat up, her mind fuzzy. Today was the anniversary of her parents' deaths, a day she dreaded every year. She dressed mechanically, the weight of grief pressing down on her. Little did she know, this day would soon become an unending nightmare.

The Phantom Train
Every year on November 13th, the small town of Ashwood was gripped by a chilling legend. The tale spoke of a ghostly train that appeared at the abandoned station on the outskirts of town, a spectral echo of a tragic accident that had occurred a century ago. Locals warned that anyone who boarded the train was never seen again.

The Night Shift at the Morgue
David Michaels had just started his new job as an attendant at the Riverdale Morgue. It wasn’t his dream job, but in the struggling economy, he was grateful for any work he could get. His first shift was a night shift, starting at midnight. The building was old, its walls yellowed with age, and the fluorescent lights flickered ominously.

The Echoing Woods

Nestled deep in the heart of the Pinewood National Forest, Echoing Woods was known for its serene beauty and peaceful trails. Mike and Sarah Johnson, along with their two children, Emily and Jake, were eager to escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a weekend of nature and bonding.

House on Haunted Hill
Not one of sleaze producer/director William Castle's better productions (Castle was infamous for his gimmick pictures wherein audience members' seats might be wired with joy buzzers, or "life insurance" might be sold to anyone in the lobby who happened to die of fright during the picture), this unclassic is a staple on cheap DVD collections from the Dollar Store, so it has its el cheapo charm. So, of course, I had to finally sit down and watch all 117 minutes or so of it. It's pretty much as you would expect. The only saving grace is the presence (no pun) of Vincent Price, and the redoubtable old character actor Elisha Cook Jr., playing Elisha Cook Jr. obsessed with ghosts and wandering around mumbling about how "the spirits are active tonight," and other such tommy-rot as if he were going for cheap laugh-track induced chortles on some bad sitcom from the mid-Eighties, perhaps.

The hospital, once a state-of-the-art facility, had been closed for decades after a series of mysterious deaths. Whispers of medical malpractice and ghostly retribution had kept most people away, but Amanda’s curiosity and desire for thrilling content for her YouTube channel drove her to visit.
