“Goodboy: A Dog-Centric Horror That Struggles to Connect
Some films may seem promising in theory and on paper but require additional depth to truly resonate on a lasting level. Unfortunately, despite the hype surrounding the 2025 horror film Goodboy, it ultimately failed to live up to expectations. Cinematic Context “Goodboy” is a project by Ben Loneberg.

Blood, Tension, Zombies—The Elixir Hits Different
“The Elixir” is one of those films that quietly sneaks up on you—unassuming at first glance. It found its way onto my watchlist during a casual scroll through Netflix’s latest horror releases. The simplicity of its title and the intriguing promise of “zombie horror” were reason enough to press play. The Fountain Of Fatality The…

Horror films often fail to deliver the scares their genre promises. Some rely entirely on brand recognition, hoping audiences will show up based on a familiar title alone. These low-budget, poorly marketed franchise extensions are always gambles. For my month-long horror movie marathon—one film and review per day for twenty-eight days—I selected “Amityville: Uprising” (2022),…
