The Exorcist (1973)

50 years old and still scary AF, M-E-E-ERRIN!!!!! Back in 2012 when promoting his movie “Killer Joe,” I told the recently departed William Friedkin that “The Exorcist” gave me the chills. I can’t provide you the evidence because it’s long… Read More ›

It Lives Inside

Another horror film you can worship. I like to compare “It Lives Inside” to “Smile.” That movie was about a young woman who has to not sleep, because she gets haunted by a sinister smile, which would eventually kill her…. Read More ›

A Haunting in Venice

The spirits within push this Branagh mystery franchise higher. Kenneth Branagh’s take on Hercule Poirot has transitioned from an Agatha Christie character to an iconic movie name, and I’m not insulting literature in any way. Three films have made and… Read More ›

Talk to Me

It’s all fun and games, until somebody gets possessed from the other side. You have to be idiotic teenager who does drugs and drinks to get in too deep, when it comes to a game. A game in which there… Read More ›

Haunted Mansion

Humor and heart get conjured up in this fun ride-to-film transition. 20 years ago, we had the Eddie Murphy film version of the popular Disneyland ride “The Haunted Mansion,” which didn’t work and ended up being forgettable. 20 years later,… Read More ›

Cobweb

A kid deals with awful parents, a hidden sibling, and a cliched script. “Cobweb” is a horror film that represents evil in characters, but its script is too cliched for its own good. The parents have to not believe their… Read More ›
