Poor Agnes played here in Chicago at the Cinepocalypse Film Fest. Admittedly, I’ve never heard of director, Navin Ramaswaran before. Maybe because he hasn’t made a straight-up horror feature before (as far as I can tell). Whatever the reason, I had zero expectations going into Poor Agnes. I pretty much knew it was playing the … More Poor Agnes (2017) – REVIEW
Shyamalan has given us some great films and some turds. So with each new film, we roll the dice (or we give up and ignore his output altogether). When Split hit theaters, I figured I’d check it out eventually but I was in no big rush to see it. Sure, I liked his last film, … More Split (2016) – REVIEW
My final, final review from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival this year is for Tragedy Girls. It’s been fun and I hope to cover the fest next year. McKayla and Sadie are hellbent on building their social media brand by any means necessary. Their brand is murder and the means is killing people. They’re … More Tragedy Girls – REVIEW
My penultimate review from my remote coverage of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is for Clementina, a film from Argentina by Jimena Monteoliva. I mention her, not because I expect you to know her work offhand, but because she shows the potential to be someone whose work you will know offhand. After a (presumed) … More Clementina (2017) – REVIEW
The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still talk about some of the films that played there! For example, I’m about to talk about the Mexican film, Veronica. All you have to do is read! Let’s get into it! A retired psychologist living in seclusion in … More Veronica (2017) – REVIEW
Next up in my suite of reviews for the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is the Canadian film, The Crescent. Let’s get into it shall we. (yes, i am aware that my intros for festival reviews are pretty weak. if it upsets you to miss out on my rambling about things like ‘i thought The Crescent … More The Crescent (2017) – REVIEW
Next up in my suite of reviews for the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is the German (Austrian?) film, Hagazussa (aka: Hagazussa: A Heathen’s Curse). Let’s get into it shall we. Albrun has always been an outsider in her tiny mountain region. She has lived in the same cabin outside of the village her whole life. … More Hagazussa (2017) – REVIEW
Mexico Barbaro II (barbarous Mexico 2) is a horror anthology successor to Mexico Barbaro (also a horror anthology , but that’s probably obvious) And it played the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Which, I am covering remotely (because i am a shut in). As with the last MB, I will review each segment individually. Let’s get … More Mexico Barbaro II (2017) – REVIEW
The Fantasia Int’l Film Festival hits just keep on coming, folks! It was an impressive fest this year with several world and / or regional premieres from all over the world. I feel pretty lucky to have been given access to these fest films. So… you know – yay for me. Anyway, this is my … More House of the Disappeared (2017) – REVIEW
The end of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival is behind us. But that doesn’t mean my reviews have to be! Here’s my review for Indiana. IMDB says it’s from 2015, but I’m putting this year in the title anyway. Enjoy! Michael is a “spirit doctor” who specializes in removing “demonic attachments, human ghosts, and UFO … More Indiana (2017) – REVIEW
