- DirectorÁngel Gómez HernándezStarsRodolfo SanchoAna FernándezRamón BareaDaniel and Sara have a 9-year-old son, Eric, and they've just moved to a new home not knowing the neighbours call it "the house of the voices". Eric is the first one to notice the odd noises behind each door.Very good horror/drama that works best in its first hour or so, balancing the thrills and the plight of grief-stricken people very well. For the last 30 minutes it goes into a kind of a rut, with too much of the same of what we have seen in a gazillion other movies, only to be redeemed in the last five minutes where it surprised me. The mid-credits scene is not necessary for the story, it seemed as if it only sets up an (unrelated) sequel.
- CreatorTea LindeburgStarsDanica CurcicLars BrygmannKaroline HammAstrid was traumatized by the mysterious disappearance of a school class in 1999. Twenty years later, when she finds out that the only survivor from 1999 mysteriously died, Astrid sets off to discover what really happened.I don't know what's happening to me, but it's yet another Danish show that I like
An intriguing story with tension, and hints of horror. You're not spoon-fed the answers, but with a little attention you can figure out quite a bit for yourself. - DirectorJoachim HedénStarsMoa GammelMadeleine MartinTrine WiggenA winter diving trip in Norway turns into a desperate race against time for two sisters when one of them becomes trapped at the bottom of the ocean by falling rocks.At a lean 79 minutes it doesn't waste time, but the non-stuck sister makes so many goddamn frustratingly stupid decisions that I yelled at the TV. I get that she was under stress, but jeeeez.
It was okay-ish, no biggie. - DirectorAlain DarborgStarsNanna BlondellAnastasios SoulisThomas HanzonWhen Nadja becomes pregnant, she and David make an attempt to rekindle their relationship by traveling to the north of Sweden for a hiking trip, but soon their romantic trip turns into a nightmare.Tense and relentless, stressed me the eff out.
- DirectorLorcan FinneganStarsImogen PootsDanielle RyanMolly McCannA young couple looking for the perfect home find themselves trapped in a mysterious labyrinth-like neighborhood of identical houses.Yes, I got the dark humour. It still creeped me the eff out.
- DirectorRob SavageStarsHaley BishopJemma MooreEmma Louise WebbSix friends hire a medium to hold a seance via Zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they bargained for as things quickly go wrong.Quite good for what it was.
- DirectorRose GlassStarsMorfydd ClarkCaoilfhionn DunneJennifer EhleA pious nurse becomes dangerously obsessed with saving the soul of her dying patient.Not as scary as I'd hoped, but a good study in religious fanatism/insanity, kinda like The VVitch.
- CreatorJac SchaefferStarsElizabeth OlsenPaul BettanyKathryn HahnBlends the style of classic sitcoms with the MCU, in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision - two super-powered beings living their ideal suburban lives - begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.Loved it. A really good set-up for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
- StarsAntonio DíazPaco PlazaAndrea Carrión SamaniegoIn this Spanish adaptation of "Magic for Humans," folks of all ages on the streets of Barcelona are amazed by tricks that inspire delight and wonder.The exact same as Magic for Humans, just in Spanish.
- StarsTroy DillingerL.A. JamesEbonie MarieMagician Drummond Money-Coutts travels the globe, sharing his infectious love of his craft and attempting feats that proved fatal to other magicians.In this one the magician/illusionist travels the world to find out more about magicians who lost their lives while doing their stunt, to try and replicate them. A lot of fun.
- CreatorMalcolm SpellmanStarsAnthony MackieSebastian StanWyatt RussellFollowing the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities -- and their patience.Loved it. All the MCU action with great characterization, bad guys with causes you could empathize with, and a good set-up if they want to continue the series. I hope they do.
- DirectorEgor AbramenkoStarsOksana AkinshinaFedor BondarchukPyotr FyodorovThe lone survivor of an enigmatic spaceship incident hasn't returned home alone - hiding inside his body is a dangerous creature.Sci-fi mixed with cold war thriller and a little bit of horror.
It was not at all what I expected. Went into it expecting an Alien-clone, but it was far from that. Which is neither good nor bad, just a fact.
Kept my interest throughout. - DirectorJoseph RubenStarsMacaulay CulkinElijah WoodWendy CrewsonA young boy stays with his aunt and uncle and becomes friends with his cousin, a boy of the same age who shows increasing signs of violent and psychopathic behavior.well, I wasn't bored and I didn't hate it or anything, but it was just very plain and predictable.
Kudos to the ending, though. - CreatorJoe PokaskiStarsOlivia HoltAubrey JosephGloria ReubenTwo teenagers from very different backgrounds find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while growing closer together every day.As much as I loved season 1 (a solid 8 for me), season 2 was an unfocused mess with only occasional glimpses of someting brilliant.
- DirectorMikael MarcimainStarsAllison WilliamsAlexander DreymonKeith DavidA couple flying on a small plane to attend a tropical island wedding must fight for their lives after their pilot suffers a heart attack.No biggie, but was entertained for 90 minutes.
- CreatorStephanie SavageJosh SchwartzStarsRhenzy FelizLyrica OkanoVirginia GardnerAfter discovering a dark secret about their parents, a group of teenagers band together to run away from their homes in order to atone for their parents' actions and to discover the secrets of their origins.I loved the first two seasons, but as with Cloak & Dagger season 2, season 3 became an unfocused mess.
- DirectorCharlie SteedsStarsReece ConnollyTim CartwrightNatalie MartinsA Parish Councillor and criminal take refuge at a remote countryside Inn, unaware that flesh-hungry werewolves inhabit the surrounding woodlands and are ready to feed.Super stupid but especially the first half is a lot of fun, even hilarious at times. Second half is a little all over the place.
First half also visually and storywise pays homage to the old Universal horror movies like Dracula, but in colour, and with more nudity. Also urine and feces. - DirectorCate ShortlandStarsScarlett JohanssonFlorence PughDavid HarbourNatasha Romanoff confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises.So. Good. To. Be. Back. In. The. Cinema!
Very good, very different Marvel-movie. None of the same frentic pacing or big fights. - CreatorMichael WaldronStarsTom HiddlestonOwen WilsonSophia Di MartinoThe mercurial villain Loki resumes his role as the God of Mischief in a new series that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”Mostly a fun ride, but not as amazing as we collectively had hyped it up to be.
Especially the final episode took a nose-dive. It was 80% exposition, with only something interesting happening in the final 90 seconds. - DirectorMichael ChavesStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRuairi O'ConnorArne Cheyenne Johnson stabs and murders his landlord, claiming to be under demonic possession while Ed and Lorraine Warren investigate the case and try to prove his innocence.I liked it. It wasn't amazing, but it had some creepy and visceral moments. Wasn't as "glossy" as the other movies, and despite curses, possessions, and exorcisms it felt more grounded.
- CreatorCraig MazinStarsJessie BuckleyJared HarrisStellan SkarsgårdIn April 1986, the city of Chernobyl in the Soviet Union suffers one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of mankind. Consequently, many heroes put their lives on the line in the following days, weeks and months.Sad, rage-inducing, and anxiety-inducing.
I especially wanted to punch Dyatlov in the throat.
Also, petition to have Jared Harris in everything. - CreatorIsaac AptakerElizabeth BergerStarsMichael CiminoRachel HilsonAnthony TurpelVictor is a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city, and struggling with his sexual orientation.Love it.
- DirectorFrançois OzonStarsFélix LefebvreBenjamin VoisinPhilippine VelgeWhen 16-year-old Alexis capsizes off the coast of Normandy, 18-year-old David heroically saves him. Alexis has just met the friend of his dreams, who opens his eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art and sexual bliss.Good little movie.
- CreatorMike FlanaganStarsKate SiegelZach GilfordKristin LehmanAn isolated island community experiences miraculous events - and frightening omens - after the arrival of a charismatic, mysterious young priest.Not Flanagan's best work, sometimes it's a little all over the place, and although there's a lot of horrific stuff in it it mostly feels like a supernatural, religious drama - nothing wrong with that. Good acting and a lot of great monologues and dialogues.
- DirectorKen CunninghamStarsA.J. LoCascioBarbara GoodsonChristian SlaterDean, Poe and BB-8 must face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.Cute, that's about it, though there was one creepy visual.
- DirectorSantiago MenghiniStarsPhil RobertsonJoana BorjaVictoria AlcockAfter being forced to take a room in a boardinghouse, an immigrant in search of the American Dream finds herself in a nightmare she can't escape.Kind of like a spiritual cousin to His House, as they both deal with hauntings and immigrants' problems, but the similarities stop there. There were stuff I didn't quite get, but overall it was a decent movie, atmospheric and bleak.
- DirectorKirk R. ThatcherStarsWill ArnettTaraji P. HensonDarren CrissOn Halloween night, Gonzo is challenged to spend one night in The Haunted Mansion.A lot of fun.
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntMillicent SimmondsCillian MurphyFollowing the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats lurking beyond the sand path.Not quite as good as the first one. Still, it had its tense moments and wasn't just a rehash. More talking, more action.
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisJudy GreerAndi MatichakSurviving victims of Michael Myers form a vigilante mob and vow to end his reign of terror.The first half was a bit messy in parts, but it definitely kicked into gear after that.
Some brutal kills, and of course it ends on a cliffhanger, since we all know the "ending" will come next year. Overall a fun time - and, as a first, it features a gay couple :O - StarsEli RothAlan MaxsonGreg NicoteroAn in-depth look at the history and pop cultural significance of horror films.Okay fun, but nothing in-depth, and nothing ground-breaking.
Felt there was a severe lack of non-US horror movies discussed, and in true, American fashion they bleeped out the "f---s" and blurred the nudity, while showing eye-gouging and dismemberment :D - CreatorFede AlvarezStarsAubrey PlazaClancy BrownNika FuttermanTold through a series of interconnected phone conversations, it chronicles the mysterious story of a group of strangers whose lives are thrown into disarray in the lead-up to an apocalyptic event.Literally anxiety inducing, occasionally heartbreaking.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsElizabeth ReaserLulu WilsonAnnalise BassoIn 1967 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business by inviting an evil presence into their home, not realizing how dangerous it is.I mean, it was better than the first one, of which I remember literally nothing, not even after watching the trailer to jog my memory before watching the second one.
Some creepy effects, some subtle, effective jumpscares, but not much more. Not necessarily boring, just bland.
I prefer Mike Flanagan's shows to his movies. - DirectorChloé ZhaoStarsGemma ChanRichard MaddenAngelina JolieThe saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations.I don't get the releatively bad reviews it has gotten. I liked how they tied it in to the myths and legends of our world, and how it only mentioned stuff from other MCU movies very briefly and very few times.
Maybe most people had a diversity issue? - CreatorDon ManciniStarsZackary ArthurBjorgvin ArnarsonAlyvia Alyn LindAfter a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town's hypocrisies and secrets.The first two episodes were promising, but the further we got, the more you had to suspend your disbelief. Yes, I know it's a supernatural slasher, but soooo much stupidity. Also, the final episode was very cheesy at some (many) points.
- DirectorJon WattsStarsTom HollandZendayaBenedict CumberbatchWith Spider-Man's identity now revealed, Peter asks Doctor Strange for help. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear, forcing Peter to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.Lots of fun, everybody is in it, and it's a bit bonkers.
- StarsJeremy RennerHailee SteinfeldFlorence PughSeries based on the Marvel Comics superhero Hawkeye, centering on the adventures of Young Avenger, Kate Bishop, who took on the role after the original Avenger, Clint Barton.
Not the best Marvel show, but still a lot of fun, and it actually got better towars the end. Also, it does a decent job of bringing a Marvel/Netflix show into the fold, like a recent movie did ;) - DirectorAlbert PintóStarsBegoña VargasIván MarcosBea SeguraA family moving to a new house to live the dream of the big city. A house where dreams turn in nightmares.Not bad per se, just very middle of the road.
