Enrico Colantoni is an underrated treasure of an actor. He has great range, a unique look (for an actor), and a solid track record of shining in whatever part he plays – large or small. So, when I saw that he was in Caitlin Cronenberg’s Humane, that was enough to convince me it was worth … More Humane (2024) – REVIEW
Back in my day (yes – i’m grumpy and old enough to start a story with that), you could count on an A24 movie being a decent watch. And you could also count on an A24 horror movie being a decent arthouse scare. I don’t think their track record has held up though. But as … More Bring Her Back (2025) – REVIEW
I caught Julia Ducournau’s Raw at the Chicago International Film Festival (I say “siff”, but apparently that’s not the preferred nomenclature) in October.

I know … More Raw (2016) – REVIEW

(just in case you thought i was claiming so) Some people challenge themselves to watch a film a day. I just try to average one a day. Some people challenge themselves … More Possession (1981) – REVIEW
I’ve discussed some of the issues that I have with the overwhelming majority of found footage horror films before. They tend to have glaring logical and common sense flaws. They are typically edited into a clear narrative (by whom? the cops?). They often have sound effects and a soundtrack/score (FOUND footage?) And so on. There … More Lake Mungo (2008) – REVIEW
One of the great things about horror is that I end up watching films from all over the world. I will eagerly watch a story told from a perspective (cultural, aesthetic, etc) different from my own, even if that story is old and familiar. I can’t imagine watching a retelling of You’ve Got Mail just … More Goran (2016) – REVIEW
