From Calm to Carnage: High Tension’s Unrelenting Horror
Few things are more chilling than a serial killer—especially one who kills without any motive. That kind of senseless violence has always been one of horror’s most unsettling fascinations.

Tusk: A Morally Twisted Fable with Visceral, Body-Horror
I’ve reviewed quite a few horror-themed works this season, but my most recent watch took me back to the early-mid 2000s—a film that’s often spoken of in horror circles as one of the most grotesque and unsettling experiences out there.

The Morality of Healing: Wayward Challenges the Limits of Good Intentions
’Tis the season for horror—for chills, thrills, and everything in between. The kind that doesn’t just make you jump but seeps into the mind, nestles uneasily beneath the skin, and leaves you teetering between recoil and curiosity—unsettled, but compelled to keep watching.

Brand Name, No Backbone: Amityville: Uprising Review
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),…

When the Suit Becomes The Man: A Dive into Clown’s Grotesque World
Clowns have always occupied a peculiar space in cultural mythology—teetering between whimsy and dread. In cinema, they are often stripped of their playful veneer and reimagined as avatars of evil. When a film leans into this archetype, it either succeeds in burrowing into a viewer’s subconscious fear or collapses under the weight of cliché. With…
