When I was born they screamed

Peter's parents aren't what they seem, they've a sinister secret no-one knows about. Cobweb is not a desperately bad a horror flick, but senselessly confusing shit on the same token. Good scares and spooky vibes, creepy little fucker, but eventually ruined by a bad, awkwardly rushed, ending.

Don't let your tragedy define you

Barry Allen aka The Flash is such a fast Superhero that he can run back in time! But, according to the laws of the good old butterfly effect, changing even a minuscule detail in the past can have disastrous consequences in the future. It can break the universe as we know it. The Flash, the movie directed by Andy Muschietti, sometimes hits the mark, oftentimes not

Surgery is the new sex

We've passed the point where David Cronenberg's body horror no longer is found disgusting. Or entertaining for that matter. Crimes of the Future is about humankind trying to adapt to its synthetic surroundings and thence is in a constant state of metamorphosis. The shit is not morbid and discomforting, it's just dull and pointless.

That was death and it is coming

It seems to be a great horror story. Hopefully they find a way to end it properly. Reminiscences of Lost (2004-2010). It takes its time to get where it's going and you are still puzzled as every answer you get leads to more questions. There's a town somewhere that traps those who enter and they are plagued by vile nocturnal creatures. Everything is wrapped in puzzles and secrets. Season # 1 is a proper nightmarish mystery.

Once it's dark, it can't get any darker

Onibaba is a 1964 Japanese horror film by Kaneto Shindô. However, by today’s standards never in a million years it would be tagged as a horror flick. Not that it wasn’t creepy and atmospheric enough. Set in somewhere in Kyoto region, in the mid-fourteenth century. Midst a civil war, a woman and her daughter-in-law ambush soldiers in a field of tall reeds, kill them, loot them, drop their bodies in a pit hidden in the field and trade their armor and weapons the next day. After a while, jealousy and sexual tension cut between the ladies’ perfectly sinister business venture. Call it horror or not, Onibaba is a striking feature of cinematic poetry.

Hit and run one more time

Written and directed by Dolph Lundgren. It's kind of cringeworthy all the time and the dialogue is, if not the worst, the most clichéd witnessed the whole year. But still, Wanted Man is quite fun to watch, something's done right.

It's always darkest before the dawn

A boy develops a taste for human blood, but luckily her mom is a nurse who can snatch a few bags of plasma from work. But not for too long. They need an alternate source. And motherly love calls for desperate measures. Pointless and boring horror drivel.

Evil goes away

Almost uncomfortable to watch. A kindergarten teacher is wrongly accused of exposing himself. And in this day and age, an innocent little lie can trigger a witch hunt and ruin someone’s life completely. A brilliant movie (courtesy of Thomas Vinterberg) propelled by dazzling performances of Mads Mikkelsen and Thomas Bo Larsen.
