Review – ‘Host’
Shudder’s newest original ‘Host’ takes this pandemic to new horrifying heights when a group of friends summon an unknown evil to join their call after a seance doesn’t go exactly as planned.

Review – ‘Blood Vessel’
‘Blood Vessel’ – what a terrific title! Not a first in its kind when it comes to ghost ships nor Nazi-horror, it tries to combine the two for a rather original but unsatisfying take on this horror sub-genre. Near the end of World War II, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship cling to life …

Review – ‘Color Out of Space’
Cult director Richard Stanley (who once famously got fired as the director of ‘The Island of Dr. Moreau’) directs H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic nightmare Color Out of Space. The story follows Nathan Gardner (Nicolas Cage continuing his Cage-aissance) and his family, whose recent retreat to rural life gets interrupted when a meteorite crashes into their front …
Review – ‘The Lighthouse’
Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse could’ve easily been perceived a classic film from about a century ago. It isn’t just disturbingly strange and undeniably tense, this original fantasy gothic horror also has some pitch-black comedy blended in. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before – and that in 2020? Two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their …
