This movie was interesting… ...in the manner that I felt familiar with it despite experiencing it for the first time. I didn’t particularly take notes but I was watching the film intently and these are some genuine responses and questions about this “found footage” film but it is done in a unique way which I'm...

The Hype of Re-Animator: Is it valid?
A few weeks ago, Comet TV was showing a film with a familiar face: Jeffrey Combs. Granted, I recognized the other two actors alongside him (Ken Foree, Barbara Crampton) and it was the film From Beyond. It then reminded me, fuck, I had never seen Re-Animator. Yes, I am one of those people who take... Continue Reading →

Children & Horror: The Loss of Innocence
There is something inherently off putting when children are the main focus in a horror film. We see children as a source of innocence, naivety, we want to protect them and shield them from all the evil in the world as much as we can. But what horror (or the other sub genres like thrillers,... Continue Reading →
SoH Reviews: Carnival of Souls (1962)

Today’s review is a film that is available on Shudder, and beware... Continue Reading →
SoH Reviews: The House of Seven Corpses
The first five minutes had me. The opening credits looking like spoilers and I thought, oh, they are going this route? And then, the scene breaks a wall and it’s… a movie? WHAT. I’m talking about 1973’s (released in 74) The House of Seven Corpses. Not to be confused with House of 1000 Corpses (Zombie)... Continue Reading →
Favorites Series: Supernatural Horror
I thought about how there’s so little you know of me or my tastes. From tumblr to here, I was more focused on showcasing cinematography in horror and all the beautiful shots and lighting and yet never expressed what are my favorites.
