Skinamarink (2022) – Short Review

I decided to put on Shudder to find something to put on in the background while I was working on article research. I had looked for Skinamarink on there a while back, but strangely found that it wasn't there, even though it's a Shudder movie. It may have just come out later in the UK …

Halloween H20 (1998) Review

Let's ignore the previous trilogy, like the writers did, and skip straight to 20 years after Halloween II. Laurie Strode, now Keri Tate, is living in California as the headmaster of a private boarding school after faking her death to prevent Michael from coming back for her. When Michael tracks down Loomis' former nurse, he …

The Birds (1963) Review

I think The Birds is one of the best-known movies in Hitchcock's filmography and one of the few that is thought of as an actual horror movie. After a chance encounter with a man named Mitch at a pet store, Melanie travels to Bodega Bay to deliver a pair of lovebirds to him. During her …

Dial M for Murder (1954) Review

This is my second favourite film with Grace Kelly, who was a frequent collaborator with Hitchcock, appearing in 3 consecutive movies: Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955). An ex-tennis pro named Tony invites an old acquaintance under the pretence that he is interested in buying a car …

Onibaba (1964) Review *SPOILERS*

At this point in time I have no electricity on the lower floor of my house. Unfortunately this is my main haunt, where my laptop and ps4 reside. Luckily there is electricity upstairs and I possess a long extension cable. There are a limited number of plug sockets (2), but it means I can use …

Midnight Mass TV Review – Book VII: Revelation *SPOILERS*

And now we've reached the end of the story. A lot of the village have become vampires who are going to feed on the rest, turning the ones who didn't attend church to take the sacrament. Milly wakes up outside the now empty church, aside from a somber Father Paul. Now the town has erupted …

Midnight Mass TV Review – Book VI: Acts of the Apostles *SPOILERS*

So we left off on a massive DAMN moment. We're now picking back up with the aftermath. Erin is still in the boat, just staring at Riley's ashes, which she kind of wipes away in order to sit on that side to row the boat back to the island. I can't even imagine what's going …

Midnight Mass TV Review – Book V: Gospel *SPOILERS*

So since the last episode ended with Riley being tackled by a vamp, he has failed to appear the following morning, which worries Erin since he never showed up the previous night when he said he would. His family doesn't seem quite so worried as they just assume that he's with Erin and has spent …

Midnight Mass TV Review – Book IV: Lamentations *SPOILERS*

Halfway there... Unfortunately. We start with Erin getting a regular check-up with Dr. Sarah. Things get awkward real fast when Sarah doesn't hear the heartbeat. Then the sonogram screen shows nothing in Erin's womb, leading Sarah to believe that she has miscarried. After Father Paul's "death", Bev has taken it upon herself to cancel mass. …

Midnight Mass TV Review – Book III: Proverbs *SPOILERS*

The episode begins with Father Paul in confession where he talks to God about how he's going to sin by not telling the truth about Monsignor Pruitt. The scene swaps between him in the confessional booth and Pruitt in the Holy Land. We are then taken back to where the last episode left off. The …
