Since Smile 2 has just been released in theaters I thought I’d review the first one which came out in September 2022 from Paramount Pictures and Parker Finn made his directorial debut. This film isn’t for everyone as it deals with suicide. However, there’s a twist like a lot of horror movies do as it’s…

I decided to review The Skeleton Key in honor of the recent passing of Gena Rowlands who is one of the main characters of the film; which first came to theaters back in 2005 from Universal Pictures and was directed by Iain Softley (Curve [2015]) with screenwriter Ehren Kruger (The Ring [2002]). I decided to…

Folk horror is an interesting subgenre in horror, and The Moor incorporates a few of those elements into a sorrowful story from Paul Thomas’ script which was directed by Chris Cronin, it has a slow-burn plot that builds on the bleakness of its surroundings and the vacant landscape creating a thick unknowing haunting atmosphere.

As some might recall from the Kolchak Television Series article, I stated I would be taking the time to review individual episodes of this series, and no better way to start than with the first show entitled The Ripper which aired on Friday, September 13, 1974 directed by Allen Baron (who would go on to…

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966) – By Baron Craze

December 31, 2023
Other Worldly Cinema

A film like this might seem very strange to be reviewed on a horror website, however there’s an important trope that is used countless times in our beloved genre; that the Old Dark House, a fearful place embodied with checkered past, almost everyone’s hometown has a house with this reputation. Therefore, this film is a…

Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) – By Baron Craze

December 31, 2023
Film Reviews

This movie is more of a detective’s tale than a horror film especially by today’s standards. It does layer in plenty of atmosphere and a storytelling that audiences of the 1930s would find appealing and a bit bizarre. Another important element that likely is lost upon the modern audiences is when the film was released,…

The Private Eyes (1980) – By Baron Craze

Film Reviews

Why did I review this film? It’s clearly not horror, nor a thriller, though it falls squarely into the subgenre of mystery-comedy, hence the reason. Well in a year where I am reflecting on those films that influence my love and dedication to the horror genre, it is time to explore everything that got me…

Film Reviews

Sometimes a film will amass quite a bit, a box office smash, and even have sequels, but it is panned and considered a wretched creation without an original conceptual design and a poor story arc, this is just that sort of film. Horror fans in general disliked this film when initially released though it earned…
