PEARL | ©2022 A24

Rating: R Stars: Mia Goth, David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, Emma Jenkins-Purro, Alistair Sewell Writers: Ti West & Mia Goth, based on characters created by Ti West Director: Ti West Distributor: A24 Release Date: September 16, 2022 We’re in 1918 Texas. Pearl (Mia Goth) is a young woman a certain amount of accurate self-awareness. She suspects there’s something wrong with her, and not just because her fiercely disapproving mother (Tandi Wright) keeps telling her so. Is Pearl’s problem that she isn’t as perfect as the silent film performers she idolizes? Is it that she’s not content with her lot […]Read On »

OF THE DEVIL Movie Poster | ©2022 Uncork’d Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jonathan Stoddard, Dani Palavecino, Lucas Sequeira, Robert LaSardo, Vernon Wells, Devanny Pinn, Eileen Dietz, Roslyn Gentle, Vicki Gunvalson, Annabel Barrett, Tarina Pouncy, Colin Koth, Lauren Louis, Clint Carney, Kelton Jones Writer: Kelton Jones, story by James Cullen Bressack Director: Kelton Jones Distributor: Uncork’d Entertainment Release Date: August 9, 2022 OF THE DEVIL is less than the sum of its initially intriguing parts. The more its tale of a malevolent force progresses, the more we start questioning how it’s all meant to fit together. At the outset, we see people partying. A young woman is lured downstairs, […]Read On »

THE DEAD GIRL IN APARTMENT 03 | ©2022 Wild Eye Releasing

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Laura Dooling, Frank Wihbey, Bryan Manley Davis, Michael Schantz, Adrienne King Writer: Kurtis M. Spieler Director: Kurtis M. Spieler Distributor: Wild Eye Releasing Release Date: August 9, 2022 THE DEAD GIRL IN APARTMENT 03 feels a little like one of those movie-of-the-week horror films that used to crop up on network television in the 1970s. It has a small cast, contained sets, a short running time of 72 minutes, and the sort of plot twists that were terrifying way back when. Indeed, apart from the use of mobile phones and more sophisticated makeup effects, THE DEAD […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Portia Chellelynn, Michelle Morris, Julie Anne Prescott, Erin Trimble, Shonda Laverty, Andie Noir, John Johnson, Joe Padgett, Solon Tsangaras Writers: Bobby Easley & Ken Wallace Director: Bobby Easley Distributor: Horror Wasteland Pictures International Release Date: July 5, 2022 (digital/DVD) Fun fact: H.P. Lovecraft’s 1932 short story “The Dreams in the Witch House” really is partly about geometry. Lovecraft’s protagonist, Walter Gilman, is a mathematician trying to prove that certain shapes and planes, in relation to one another, can create gateways to other universes. That angle (pardon the pun) has been adopted in H.P. LOVECRAFT’S WITCH HOUSE, […]Read On »

Movie Review: ABANDONED

ABANDONED movie poster | ©2022 Vertical Entertainment

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Emma Roberts, John Gallagher Jr., Michael Shannon Writers: Erik Patterson & Jessica Scott Director: Spencer Squire Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: June 17, 2022 ABANDONED is a very particular kind of haunted house story. It begins outside an isolated home at night. The porch light is on. We hear a bloodcurdling scream, a crying baby, a young woman pleading, then gunshots. Forty years later, we see the same house in daylight, at the end of a tree-lined dirt road. We still hear a baby crying. This turns out to be little Liam, son of Sarah (Emma Roberts) […]Read On »

Originally released in 2010, SCARE ZONE is now being distributed on VOD and digital by Terror Films, which also hosts the movie on its own channel. SCARE ZONE has the advantage, like 2006’s DARK RIDE, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ramiro Blas, Cecilia Suárez, Paula Gallego, Cristina Alcázar Writer: Luis Sánchez-Polack, developed by Asier Guerricaechebarria & Javier Enchánez, story by Raúl Cerezo Directors: Fernando González Gómez & Raúl Cerezo Distributor: Dark Star Pictures Release Date: June 3, 2022 THE PASSENGER (LA PASAJERA) has publicity that makes it sound more interesting than most of us will find it. “Don’t sit next to her,” the tag line warns. Sounds potentially intriguing, right? Well, never mind that, because that’s not exactly what’s going on here in the first place. In the prologue, two lost hikers make it through the woods […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Jordan Claire Robbins, Theo Rossi, Tahirah Sharif, Julian Feder, Elena Juatco, Shane West Writers: Emerson Moore and Joshua Dobkin & Sean Wathen Director: Emerson Moore Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: May 6, 2022 ESCAPE THE FIELD takes the notion of an escape room – strangers trying to work out clues – and stages it in a huge cornfield. For starters, we have to admire the budgetary ingenuity of director Emerson Moore, his co-writers Joshua Dobkin & Sean Wathen, and their filmmaking team. The settings in ESCAPE THE FIELD consist of the cornfield, some dirt paths between the huge […]Read On »

Movie Review: CHILDREN OF SIN

CHILDREN OF SIN movie poster | ©2022 CWM Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Meredith Mohler, Lewis Hines, Jo-Ann Robinson, Keni Bounds, Jeff Buchwald, Christopher Wesley Moore, Ana-Claire Henley, Cami Roebuck, Jacob Thomas, George Mayronne Writer: Christopher Wesley Moore Director: Christopher Wesley Moore Distributor: CWM Entertainment Release Date: April 22, 2022 CHILDREN OF SIN lives up to the ‘70s/’80s indie horror vibe suggested by the style of its poster. It’s got some good (if predictable) jump scares, at least one scene of profound weirdness, blunt statements, inexpensive production values, and a certain lack of plot logic. However, it’s unlikely that, in the ‘70s or ‘80s, we’d see an indie horror […]Read On »
