SoH Reviews: The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972)

I’ve got a latest obsession; films prior to the 1980s. That decade is quite oversaturated, big franchises come from that decade and I think we kind of ignore anything prior to that decade or we don’t give it enough love. We enjoy Black Christmas, Alien and Halloween and then… that’s it. That’s kind of sad, … Continue reading SoH Reviews: The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972)

SoH Reviews: A Bay of Blood (1971)

Sundays tend to be movie watching days, I’ve noticed. Not sure why I pick Sundays to watch but maybe because it’s a “relaxing, chill” kind of day. I wasn’t planning on watching this specific movie, I was looking towards something else. But thankfully, having Shudder provides you with different options.However this movie and watching is … Continue reading SoH Reviews: A Bay of Blood (1971)

SoH Reviews: Black Sabbath (1963)

We’re continuing the Bava train with another review! Prior to watching 1960’s Black Sunday (or The Mask of Satan), I was super excited to see Bava’s collection on Shudder and I was a little overwhelmed about what to watch. So, we have talked about Shock, Blood and Black Lace, Black Sunday and now we are … Continue reading SoH Reviews: Black Sabbath (1963)

SoH Reviews: Black Sunday (1960)

I have waited so long to watch this movie… whenever I could find it. Magically, Shudder has acquired some Mario Bava films, including two that I will be reviewing this week. I saw one on Sunday (11/29) and one the previous week which will be talked about on Saturday’s post but today, we will discuss … Continue reading SoH Reviews: Black Sunday (1960)

Foreign Horror + Recs

Foreign horror is essential for ALL film lovers, not just horror. It’s a great way to see what is going on in other markets of the world, what is current and relevant in their culture. I can’t speak for how these branches look at American or western films/horror but I have garnered a huge love … Continue reading Foreign Horror + Recs

Top 10 Scariest/Creepiest Horror Movies (imo)

This post is partially inspired by the youtuber/channel Drumdums. I’ve just recently started following him on there and I like the content and he did a top 10 scariest horror movies (to him) and that got me thinking, have I done anything like that?  I’ve done favorites but nothing about movies actually affecting me and … Continue reading Top 10 Scariest/Creepiest Horror Movies (imo)

SoH Reviews: Dario Argento’s Opera

Another day, another Dario Argento film. This week, I sat down to watch Opera, a 1987 horror/thriller about a young woman, in the lead role of a production of Macbeth, being stalked by someone who literally forces her to watch her friends and close ones get murdered. Now seeing that I’ve watched quite a few … Continue reading SoH Reviews: Dario Argento’s Opera

2019 Horror Watchlist!

2019 was the year of first watching for me. Movies you have heard of but never saw, releases of new, older classics, I pushed myself out of a “comfort zone” and watched films I never thought I’d get the chance to see. Thanks to Prime, Shudder, my ever growing collection in horror media (dvds, vhs), … Continue reading 2019 Horror Watchlist!

The Beauty behind Giallo: A Visual Journey into Italian Horror

2019 is the year that I dove into the deep end of Italian horror, especially older films. I've swam in the shallow pool, only seen Suspiria, Demons and Demons 2. But nothing prepared me for what Italian or "giallo" horror is really about, the depths of how unique it is and at the opposite end … Continue reading The Beauty behind Giallo: A Visual Journey into Italian Horror
