Smile - Movie Review
Smile begins strong, it has a creepy setting and story which begins with our main character, Dr. Rose Cotter (played by Sosie Bacon) Visiting mental patient of hers, as she is a psychiatrist. This first patient of hers, he believes a monster is following him, and what I like about this is how ambiguous Smile is, for he is not the one who passes curse onto Rose, it is actually her second patient, Laura Weaver (played by Caitlin Stasey) who is haunted by the demon. So it leaves us wondering whether or not Rose's first patient is just crazy, or if he too is cursed by the demon, this and many other questions are never answered, leaving us in the dark with only the fear of the unknown to comfort us! After Laura's suicide in front of Rose, whilst under possession of the demon, this triggers the demon to attach itself to her and soon a bizarre series of hauntings begin to take place!

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul!
At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul! Is reputedly the first "horror film" produced in Brazil ( beyond maybe some snuff porno loops produced by organized crime and bandied about in urban legends). It's the product of one José Mojica Marins, a.k.a., the legendary "Coffin Joe," a horror filmmaker of no small repute in his homeland, who has been the subject of countless films, television programs, comic books, songs, you name it.

‘Halloween Ends’ Movie Review
Rounding out David Gordon Green’s Halloween sequel trilogy, Halloween Ends picks up four years after the previous two films. Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) has seemingly vanished without a trace, following his prior massacre of the angry mob in Haddonfield. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and working on her memoir. But when Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), a troubled young man with a tragic past, begins to take a liking to Allyson, Laurie senses a familiar darkness in him and worries that the boogeyman might still be here after all.

The Black Cat (1966)
One thing I'll say about the 1966 sleazoid film version of Poe's "The Black Cat" is that it doesn't deviate from the source material one iota. Since I dreamed last night of a woman transforming into said cat, and vice versa (I also dreamed I was eating rotten fish), I knew that, since I saw her transform and there seemed to be a movie poster behind her, that, well, I had to get right up and WATCH THAT MOVIE. And review. (Note: This is the kind of film, distributed by the same company, that Sandra Bernhard use to show, on her USA late-night extravaganza of monster, nudie, and cult film clips "Reel Wild Cinema." I'm not sure, but she may have even shown this particular film.)

The Top Creature Films You Need to See
"Frankenstein" (1931) (Gene pick) The Frankenstein monster is one of the most recognizable characters in all of horror, subject of countless cartoons, films, comic books, and films. This was not the first movie adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel, but it is the most imitated, and most successful, and it made actor Boris Karloff an instant star.
