For a horror lover like myself, the downside of seeing as many scary movies as possible — from slashers to the supernatural, from the gory to the psychological — is that it's easy to become somewhat immune to the predictable scares that most thrillers offer. In many cases, the biggest impact that horror movies have … Continue reading Skinamarink (2022) Movie Review

Abbott and Costello Go to Mars; Meet Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde; Meet the Mummy | Review
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are comic legends, presenting a unique blend of zingy word-play and razor-sharp slapstick. They brought these honed sensibilities to the silver screen in 36 films between 1940 and 1955. Their appearances in radio and television, likenesses in several Looney Tunes, and creation of perhaps the greatest comedy sketch of all … Continue reading Abbott and Costello Go to Mars; Meet Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde; Meet the Mummy | Review

Under the Skin | Review
The human body is a ravishing enigma in Under the Skin (2013)—a landscape concealing a vast multitude of secrets.

Werewolf by Night (2022) Movie Review: Offers Just Enough Bite
While technically a Marvel property (and therefore another entry in the MCU), the creative team behind Werewolf by Night refreshingly chooses to downplay overt connections to that larger tapestry. MCU fans will no doubt delight in what connections there are, but Michael Giachhino's werewolf movie is unburdened by needing the prior knowledge that can inhibit … Continue reading Werewolf by Night (2022) Movie Review: Offers Just Enough Bite

How ‘Frankenstein Conquers the World’ Confronts the Monstrous Legacy of Hiroshima & Nagasaki | Movie Review
Frankenstein Conquers the World marks a departure from Honda's usual kaiju-fare of the mid '60s; however, it also marks a welcomed return to his horror aesthetic. Frankenstein features many graphic images that are intentionally brief and bloody, thereby leaving a lasting impression. The same is true for Honda's use of close-ups, especially on the titular … Continue reading How ‘Frankenstein Conquers the World’ Confronts the Monstrous Legacy of Hiroshima & Nagasaki | Movie Review
