Intensity 🩸🩸 for frequent but mild violence and gore
Slotherhouse has a silly and promising premise but squanders the potential by pulling its punches. This cautionary tale of chasing popularity and jealousy within a college sorority has a fun puppet monster but ceases to entertain with uninteresting characters and inconsequential kills. The puppet sloth is fun for a while, but after a while the movie becomes tedious.

🩸🩸🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 for copious amounts of bloodshed, dismemberments, beheadings, exploding bodies, the use of severed limbs as weapons, and eviscerations.
The Dracula tale has never been more fun to watch than in Chris McKay's Renfield. Nicholas Hoult is the remorseful and downtrodden manservant Renfield who struggles with how to escape servitude from his vile master. Nic Cage is perfectly cast as the dapper and ferocious Count Dracula, mixing a looming malevolence with goofy charm. Universal has found its footing again with its legendary roster of monster films. Renfield mixes full-theater belly laughs with spectacular gory action to create a movie destined to get repeat viewings. Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee would be proud.

This Icelandic horror comedy is guaranteed to be one of the most off-the wall films you'll see this year. I found it an absolute blast!

Messiah of Evil offers a deliciously confusing early 70s cross between art film and horror, setting the stage for horror tropes to come.

Reviews of three films from Romford Horror Festival.

An entertaining and showy movie with a great cast and great dialogue, but an all too familiar been-there-done-that plot.

Man Under Table is a surreal, darkly comic commentary on the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. It has an air of dread and bleakness of the horror-adjacent kind.

Lace up your hiking boots and grab your headlamp for a journey underground in It Came From Below.
★★★ out of ★★★★★ Umm what just happened? Was that a dream? Did I just have a stroke? Did my ego and id simultaneously implode? Unclear on all fronts. One thing is certain. This is a film like no other and it’s not something you can ever unsee.

Apparently, the long TV format suits Alien perfectly. Fox continues its remarkable rehabilitation of its two valuable action/horror IPs, with Alien Earth doing for the xenomorph franchise what Prey did for the Predator franchise. It has injected lyrical symbolism into a series that has waxed and waned in intellectual rigor.
Here are three reviews from South Korea's Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, for a highly artistic Spanish historical chiller, a moody Vietnamese horror based on Asian urban legends, and a fine Hong Kong psychological horror thriller.

Two great tastes that go great together: Teen coming-of-age movies and body horror. Blue my mind explores a Swiss girl's transformation into a mermaid while trying to win over the cool kids at her new school in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.

Obsession is the latest movie to apply the Monkey's Paw wish dilemma. Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it. This independent horror gem is the latest example of how original storytelling and great performances can launch a tiny-budget movie into the box-office stratosphere.
