Frozen (2010) - A Movie Review
Trust me, very bad things will happen if you get stuck on a chairlift. Frozen is a 2010 film. Three friends bribe the lift operator for one last run when it is closing time. Unfortunately, the trio gets trapped on the chairlift fifty feet above the ground in treacherous freezing weather. Survival is thin as they try to work out a plan.

‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’ Review—Formulaic Scares
As amazing as horror movies are, there comes a time when we get tired of the endless flickering lights, objects moving by themselves, and bumps in the night. This film offers a prime example of that fatigue.

A Quiet Place Part 2 - Movie Review
A Post Apocalyptic Drama with plenty of Horror! A Quiet Place Part 2 starts off strong, as we see the beginnings of this horrifying apocalypse. I originally thought this film was going to be a prequel as the first 20 minutes show our characters trying to survive the start of the alien invasion, in a small American town. This gave off a War of The World's vibe, and to be honest I really would've loved it, if the whole film was like this, but unfortunately this segment is a flashback, as it skips to the present timeline shortly after; continuing where the first film ended. However, there were a few scenes here that I thought were pretty bad. For example: the father character (John Krasinski) kept bumping into random people in the street trying to escape, but the acting was so awkward it looked like he was purposely bumping into people, grabbing their hands when he could have easily avoided them, it was a bad take and they left it in. Then later in this segment: a monster breaks into a room full of people cowering (easy prey) yet, it decides to run after the father and his daughter, Regan (Millicent Simmonds) leaving all of the cowering people behind, as the two of them run into the street. It just seemed dumb that a monster like this would leave loads of prey behind to bother chasing two people, when it has an all you can eat buffet right there. However, I feel like I am nitpicking here, as the rest of this opening was pretty cool.

A Scary Movie That Made Me Jump
This morning I was reading an excellent article by a very good writer friend of mine, Akos Peterbencze, and he set me back thinking quite a lot really. You see, I studied film at university and ended up teaching the subject. I also went into acting in film and television as an actor.

Movie Review: 'The Amusement Park' Lost George Romero Movie Found and Restored
I was perhaps a little too excited when I got word that a new George A. Romero movie from the early 1970s had been uncovered and fully restored. I, like so many others, am a huge fan of Romero from all of the Living Dead movies. He’s a storied figure in the history of horror and the notion that a piece of his work had been found and was fully restored, it captured my imagination and made me think that I was about to have a profound experience.

Honeydew Movie Review
If you’re a big fan of folk horror, then Devereux Milburn’s feature debut Honeydew just might appeal to you. It’s got the heavy atmosphere of The Witch, disturbing rural characters that might remind you of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and plenty of grotesque details to tempt gore lovers. It stars Sawyer Spielberg (yes, as in the son of Steven), Malin Barr, Barbara Kingsley, and Stephen D’Ambrose, among others. Milburn also co-wrote the film alongside talented cinematographer-producer Dan Kennedy.

Top 5 Psychological Horror Movies You Should Watch in 2021
Whether you're an avid watcher or are occasionally compelled into watching one with your friends, horror movies always manage to send chills down the spine with their unanticipated jump scares, eerie sound effects, and not so normal- well rather paranormal plot. The horror genre is considered to be imperfect without the inclusion of jump scares but really, horror, in general, is much more than Mr. Dummy Doll pouncing right at your screen.

‘Army of the Dead’: A (Mostly) Earned Victory Shamble for Zack Snyder
It’s safe to say that no American filmmaker working today is quite as polarizing as Zack Snyder. Detractors renounce the Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel et al. director as the hack creator of one dour, bloated action epic after another. His fans either adore him unreservedly or appreciate his films as the work of a cynical vulgar auteur with an unflappable so-uncool-it’s-actually-cool aesthetic. Some claim he’s perversely patriotic; others argue he unearths the twisted, destructive core of American patriotism.
