I've been a fan of Hitchcock for less than a decade. I had already seen Psycho and The Birds when I was younger, but I didn't truly begin to experience his extensive filmography until my late-20s after seeing James Rolfe's list of his top 10 Hitchcock movies. That was my jumping off point. I've now … Continue reading My Favourite Characters in Horror: Hitchcock – Top 10
Category: Mystery & Suspense
Similar to crime and whodunnits, mystery and suspense can be closely linked with the films of Hitchcock. While also focusing on some crime elements, the main priority is to confuse the audience and build tension towards a (mostly) satisfying twist ending.
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 … Continue reading Dial M for Murder (1954) Review
My Thoughts While Watching… Midsommar (2019) [Trigger Warning: Topics of Suicide]
I've seen plenty of Buzzfeed posts floating around where people write a list of thoughts while watching a movie. I read one years ago where someone watched all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time while live tweeting and writing a post per movie. I still quote a lot of what he said … Continue reading My Thoughts While Watching… Midsommar (2019) [Trigger Warning: Topics of Suicide]

The Village (2004) Review
Here is a movie that was a failure, but I like it. I personally liked the twist. In a small isolated village in Pennsylvania during the late 19th century, a funeral is held for the son of August Nicholson, one of the town Elders. This prompts Lucius Hunt, son of another Elder, Alice Hunt, to … Continue reading The Village (2004) Review
The Boy (2016) Review
It's October 6th and today we're looking at the 2016 horror that got a lot of negative reviews. That makes me a little bit sad because I enjoyed it, but then again I'm not as picky as most people when it comes to horrors and thrillers. Greta Evans is a young girl from America, who … Continue reading The Boy (2016) Review
The Wicker Man (1973) Review *WARNING: SPOILERS*
I originally saw this movie a few years ago after watching Channel 4's "100 Greatest Scary Moments". This was featured at number 34. After that I was determined to see it. When I eventually did, all I could say was... what the hell did I just watch? In all honestly I had no idea. Even … Continue reading The Wicker Man (1973) Review *WARNING: SPOILERS*
