The psychological horror soon turns surreal, with the imprisoned psychopath murdering through others. He uses dreams and hypnosis to do this. Danny may be a good guy, but he's a moron, so when he spots Laura, the Sleeping Beauty, in the hospital and hears that she's about to become an experimental subject, he decides…

There's a monster killing in the city, and the first massacres convinced me that a xenomorph had jumped in. Too bad they showed its form afterwards. It had a leaky tongue instead of a second set of jaws, but otherwise the inspiration, including the slime, was clear, and I quite like it. Also, there's one nice…

Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patelliére are two French dudes working on the classics of Alexandre Dumas classics, and after The Three Musketeers, they excel again! Next time, then, “The Man with the Iron Mask”? The Count of Monte-Cristo is unknown for me, I'm not familiar with the book, so I'm glad I enjoyed…

An excellent sultry and unpleasant drama from the Balkans! The protagonist is Blaga, a 70 year old Bulgarian respected teacher whose husband has recently died. She unfortunately also loses all her life savings because she is the victim of a phone scam and pays cruelly because of her stupidity. No one will give her a…

Exotic Paraguay tries it with a spooky found footage flick and it's not all bad. We have two unlikeable influencers who go where they shouldn't for likes – a haunted monastery – and of course things go wrong. I liked that there's not the kind of shaky camera with distracting images that bothers me, but there's a nice…

The individual episodes are very unbalanced, but the bizarreness is not lacking. Unlike the original series, it is black humour, which will probably be laughed at more by the Japanese. I did find a few things amusing though - an exploding baby's head, vomit in an egg, angry poop or a feast of human flesh and entrails.…

There's a problem with Edgar Allan Poe. The title of the film refers to his short story "The Premature Burial", but it has nothing to do with it. The ubiquitous cat would suggest that it is inspired by the short story “The Black Cat”, but there is a dead body in it. It is therefore closest to the short story “The Cask…

An incredibly raw and cynical film where everyone hurts everyone. Two young men, one of whom hits his mother over the head with a shovel because she wanted to call the police and the other shoots his wife because she won't give him the car keys, go on a spree. After an incident with another young man in the car, they…

Corman's opening credits suggest that fantasy will play an important role. Well, there's a severed head at the very beginning... An ancient house towering above the seashore is inhabited by a housekeeper, her nephew and the daughter of the owner who died at sea. An escaped criminal, Pascal (Fernando Sancho, here fat…

A gothic horror film using most of the clichés as a true fan should expect. Black and white cinematography, more than enough fog, cobwebs in the branches, an underground laboratory, secret passages and the popular view of the characters through the flames of a fireplace. The Count, king of the vampires, uses his…
