The Transfiguration is either a vampire film or a serial killer movie and the fact that you never quite know which one is what makes it so hard to shake. The film certainly points to the grimmer, less fantastical reality but writer/director Michael O’Shea never calls it a case closed for the audience. Either way, The Transfiguration is a riveting, ...
Tightly-wound and intricately paced, A Dark Song is a tale of grief and forgiveness told in the confines of one hellish magic ritual. The film stars Catherine Walker as Sophia, a woman stuck in the pits of vengeance-fuelled grief after the murder of her son. Desperate and furious, she hires Joseph Soloman (Steve Oram), a bad-tempered occultist with...
They may not have the cultural cache of some of the other slasher greats, but the Child’s Play films have endured over the decades, resistant to remakes and reboots, consistently evolving in fun, fearless ways. The latest direct-to-video entry doesn’t have the big-budget polish of the theatrical release days, but it has franchise shepherd Don Manci...
After making his stunning feature debut with his ferociously fucked up 2009 film The Loved Ones, Sean Byrne finally deliverd his directorial follow up with this year’s entrancing satanist serial killer yarn,The Devil’s Candy. The set-up is simple; a tight-knit family moves into a country home for a steal, but the realtor fails to warn them that the...
I hope you saw this one in a crowded theater full of people who love movies, because listening to the audience meltdown at the film's final scene (and maybe doing a little shocked shouting of your own), is a highlight moviegoing experience. While Split‘s ending is the stuff of legend, it's not exactly a twist in the way we've come to expect fromM. ...
The directorial debut from Oz Perkins (though his sophomore feature I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House was released first), The Blackcoat’s Daughteris a searing, bleak tale of Satanism and murder set against stunning snowy backdrops that seem to muffle each burst of terror in a suppressed, anguished scream. And when the sound finally bre...
Australian filmmakers have carved out a gruesome niche in horror as the destination for bleak, ghastly, and all too human horrors. In the tradition of Wolf Creek andSnowtown—hell, it was even a pair of Aussies that gave us the first Saw film—Hounds of Love delivers an unflinching look at violence through the sparsest lens, with nary a narrative con...
A good PG-13 horror movie is a rare bird, and Christopher Landon’s slasher movie by way of Groundhog’s Day is easily one of the best. Happy Death Day stars Jessica Rothe as Tree (a very stupid name for such a smart movie), a self-obsessed sorority girl who finds herself trapped in a personal hell where she is forced to relive the day of her murder ...
It Comes at Night is not a monster movie. It’s not interested in world-building. It’s not interested in easy answers. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a horror movie, and startlingly effective one if you can buy into the film itself instead of the movie the marketing campaign sold you. Set in a threadbare post-apocalypse ravaged by a deadly disease, ...
Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass team again for another sociopath surprise with Creep 2, which sees the return of Duplass’ disarming serial killer who likes to form friendships with his victims before he sends them to his grave. The thrills and scares in Creep were born out of the utter uncertainty of what Josef—who adopts the name Aaron in the seque...
