Insidious (2010) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

I thought I would review Insidious since a new film in the franchise is being released later this year. This first film in the Insidious franchise which first came to theaters through FilmDistrict and directed by James Wan, known for  Saw [2004], Dead Silence [2007], The Conjuring [2013] and many more and is working again…

The Ghost Breakers (1940) – By Baron Craze

*NOTE:  Cinematic lovers and fans of The Horror Times, this review deals a few disgusting habits of the late 30s and early 40s mainly regarding race; however, the film is a horror-comedy spoof, that in life avoidance is never good sometimes you need to face disrespectful attitudes head on and note the era in which…


The Monsters Are Out in “Sorority of the Damned”

Prepare for a practical effects masterclass as Joe Davison’s horror-comedy hit, Sorority of the Damned, officially brings its “elemental” carnage to Amazon Prime Video. Co-directed by Stranger Things alum Joe Davison and special makeup veteran Roy Knyrim of SOTA FX, the film celebrates the golden era of creature features with mind-bending practical designs. The Four Elemental Witches The film’s central…


Stormswept (1995) – By Vix

I had been wanting to return to do reviews but honestly unsure if I should repeat a performance like that from Basic Instinct, however with encouragement from Baron who just told me to explore the genre of films that I enjoy, I had a close girlfriend of mine randomly choose for me something from the…


The Nun (2018) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

The Nun is the 5th film in the Conjuring Universe and is considered a prequel to The Conjuring [2013] and The Conjuring 2 [2016]; the character of the Nun is introduced and used in the story of the second film so it’s understandable that the producers especially James Wan (Saw [2004]) would want to visit…


Cult Classic “Phenomena” Now Available on MoviVue

Dario Argento’s Cult Classic Phenomena is now streaming on MoviVue. The young Jennifer Corvino (played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly) is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a killer is on the loose, brutally murdering students. Jennifer is a “gifted” girl with the strange ability to communicate with insects, and Dr. McGregor (Donald Pleasence,…


The Fog (2005) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

This film is the remake of the iconic The Fog  [1980] and like most remakes, critics crucified it; because reimagining a movie from John Carpenter and Debra Hill is difficult. The owner of The Horror Times requested that I do this review as the film makes a 20th-anniversay as opposed to Baron who would rip…


Smile (2022) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

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…


The Skeleton Key (2005) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

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…
