So Kas had seen this one and I hadn’t. Midsommar is a weird cult story that makes me wish my people (white vaguely Scottish/Irish people) had more culture and legend (or at least that I knew our mythology better). At least I have mental illnesses and queerness to enrich my perspective (hooray?). There are a […]

A masterpiece. A Quiet Place has always been about the intersection between horror stories and stories about humanity and how we connect and communicate. This one does not disappoint. A Quiet Place tells the story of a terminally ill woman trying to make it through New York on, literally, day one of the invasion. She

If you like the original Scream, odds are you’ll like this. An absolute blast from start to finish. A classic who-dun-it with every flair typical to a Scream Movie, including a few directly matching shots. Everything from the plot, to the killers, to the cameos, exactly mirrors Scream as direct commentaries on current horror. The

Immaculate was one of the creepiest so far. The movie successfully balanced a lot of unsettling elements while intentionally refusing to prove something was definitely wrong. Her not knowing the language, the dreary settling, the one girl that didn’t like her for no reason: you know something is wrong with this place, but not what

Nicolas Cage gives a masterful performance as Longlegs. You read that right. Nicolas freakin’ CAAAGE, MAN!! I couldn’t take my eyes off of him anytime he was onscreen. Maika Monroe delivered in her performance as Lee Harker, the detective and main character, and so does Alicia Witt, Lee’s somewhat waifish mother. Nic Cage’s prosthetics were

No One Gets Out Alive is a truly modern horror movie…because it’s about the horrors of millennial housing. The movie is centered around Ambar (sic), an undocumented immigrant from an unnamed country, being paid under the table. When trouble comes knocking she has virtually no one she can turn to. The movie definitely is from

First of all, breathtaking shots. A horror movie this pretty is refreshing. Nell Tiger Free shines as the Margaret, particularly in a long shot in the third act of a horrifying transformation. There were obviously a lot of young women, and every single one of them held their own. Also, Bill Nighy made a surprise

WTF did I just watch? How did they pay for the bus? Where is John? Why don’t the changelings look like people? What does “follow the birds” mean? Why did she name him “Darwin”? Why are the birds both harbingers of ruin and salvation? Are they all murderers? How did the old lady learn the

The Visit was a weird one. It fails where you’d think it would succeed, and succeeds where you think it would fail. One of the biggest problems with The Visit is it doesn’t fully commit to the medium. For instance, the girl’s relationship with her documentary, her art, is never made clear. How does she
