Reviewing horror movies every week, both classic and modern films!

  1. 5. Juni

    Impetigore

    We talk about how the film’s Jakarta-to-remote-village setup builds atmosphere, the boldness of its dialogue and staging, and the gorgeous candlelit cinematography inspired by shadow puppetry. Along the way we unpack the twisty mystery, the curse at the heart of the village, and the film’s disturbing violence, including the skinning and the chilling connection between human skin and puppet-making. We also debate the movie’s big exposition dumps, its cultural specificity, and why—subtitles and all—it’s still a compelling, well-made horror story worth seeking out.

    Mausoleum

    We talk about how hard it is to find, why it feels more like late-’70s TV horror than an ’80s theatrical release, and how its “so bad it’s funny” charm makes it perfect for a group watch. Along the way we highlight the recognizable cast, the goofy demon-possession plot, the constant green-glowing mausoleum, and the over-the-top practical effects that go from silly to outrageous. Between awkward editing, absurd kill scenes, and tonal whiplash comedy moments, we end up with mixed feelings—but plenty to laugh about.

    Man's Best Friend

    After breaking into the Emax lab for a story, reporter Lori inadvertently rescues Max, a genetically engineered dog spliced with traits like speed, strength, climbing, camouflage, and even acid urine—then chaos follows as the mad scientist Dr. Jarrett and the police close in. We talk standout cast and effects, the surprisingly sitcom-like tone and Spielberg-ish score, and set pieces ranging from a swallowed cat to an escalating chase back to the lab. Max ultimately dies stopping Jarrett, but a final reveal hints his legacy lives on in a litter of puppies—including one that looks a lot like Max.

    The Slayer

    We dig into its standout Tybee Island, Georgia locations (including the fort ruins and the abandoned theater), the surprisingly gorgeous orchestral score, and how the film tries to blend standard slasher beats with surreal, dreamlike, potentially supernatural elements. Along the way we break down the small adult-couple cast dynamic, the slow soap-opera pacing, the shadowy killer presentation, and several kills (including a memorable pitchfork moment) while noting the heavy A Nightmare on Elm Street parallels. We also unpack the confusing, ambiguity-driven ending and why the movie feels ambitious even when it doesn’t fully land.

    Send Help

    We talk about Raimi’s signature style, the small-cast setup, and the power-dynamics story between office underdog Linda Little (Rachel McAdams) and her arrogant boss Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) after a plane crash strands them on an island. From the chaotic crash sequence to the boar hunt, shifting sympathies, and escalating psychological violence, we dig into the film’s twists, the mansion reveal, and that sharp final-year-later payoff. Along the way we hit the box office/streaming success, standout performances, and why the ending feels so satisfyingly wicked.

    Hatching

    We talk about why we finally picked it, its Sundance buzz and critical praise, and how its quiet pacing and gorgeous cinematography build tension. From the disturbing mommy-blogger facade and relentless pressure on young gymnast Tinja to the eerie egg she incubates and the practical-effects creature that emerges, we unpack the film’s doppelgänger angle, psychic connection, and escalating attacks. Along the way we explore the movie’s layers of metaphor—maternity, repression, puberty, body image, and parents vicariously living through kids—leading to an ending we found bleak, satisfying, and thematically sharp

    New York Ripper

    We talk through Fulci’s stylized approach, the gritty early ’80s New York locations, and how the film’s sleaze and eroticized violence make it a challenging watch, especially with its mean-spirited tone toward women. Along the way we unpack the duck-voiced killer calls, the procedural investigation, the disjointed plotting, and the extreme gore effects—particularly the razor-blade murder and eye trauma. We also cover the film’s reveal involving Peter, his hospitalized daughter, a dead-end suspect, and the bleak final moments that leave the story on a dark note.

    Happy Birthday To Me

    We talk about the movie’s iconic shish kebab kill, its giallo-inspired mystery setup, and the nonstop barrage of over-the-top red herrings that make the nearly two-hour runtime feel even longer. Along the way we dig into the prep school “Top 10,” the creative (and sometimes cut-down) kill scenes, Virginia’s traumatic flashbacks and experimental brain procedure, and the surprisingly stacked talent behind the production, including Glenn Ford. We break down the movie’s wildly convoluted twist ending, why it feels like a last-minute rewrite, and why—despite its flaws—we ultimately had a fun time with it.
