“Wolf Man” Stumbles in the Shadow of “The Invisible Man”

After the big hit of 2020’s The Invisible Man, Leigh Whannell seemed ready to bring another classic Universal Monster back to life with Wolf Man. Sadly, this effort to reconnect with the creature’s roots lacks impact, resulting in a movie that feels more like a missed opportunity than a spine-chiller. … Read This Story

Blood Bride

“Blood Bride” (1980) Review: A Tedious, Lethargic Horror Thriller

“Blood Bride” (1980) Review “Blood Bride,” also known as “Death of a Nun,” is a forgettable 1980 horror thriller that fails to deliver on its promising premise. Writer-director Robert J. Avrech’s film follows a pious Catholic girl who uncovers her boyfriend’s dark secrets, but the execution is marred by a ludicrous script and listless direction. The film’s visuals are reminiscent of 1970s horror, with underexposed colors, minimal lighting, and slow motion. However, even the commendable … Read This Story
The Curse of King Tut's Tomb

Uncovering the Legend: “The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb (1980)” Review

The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb (1980) Review I devoured “The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb” with eagerness, and I wasn’t disappointed. This 1980 made-for-TV movie is a hidden gem that effectively blends historical intrigue with supernatural terror. From the opening scenes, I was hooked by the eerie atmosphere and the sense of foreboding that permeates the film. Director Philip Leacock masterfully crafts tension, using the ancient Egyptian setting to create an unsettling sense of … Read This Story
Contamination (1980)

Contamination (1980) Review: A Campy, Alien-Inspired Cult Classic

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: “Contamination” is a campy, over-the-top sci-fi horror film that’s perfect for fans of B-movies and Italian exploitation cinema. Directed by Luigi Cozzi, this 1980 film is often referred to as an unauthorized sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Alien,” given its striking similarities in plot and aesthetic. The film follows NYPD Detective Tony Aris (Marino Masé) and scientist Stella Holmes (Louise Marleau) as they investigate a mysterious cargo ship carrying alien eggs that threaten … Read This Story
City of the Living Dead

The Timeless Terror of “City of the Living Dead” (1980)

Released in 1980, Lucio Fulci’s “City of the Living Dead” (also known as “The Gates of Hell”) has stood the test of time, remaining a staple of Italian horror cinema. This surreal, nightmarish masterpiece has aged remarkably well, its eerie atmosphere and graphic violence still unsettling audiences today, 44 years after its initial release. “City of the Living Dead” was a pioneering force in the supernatural horror subgenre, predating other iconic films like “Poltergeist” (1982) … Read This Story
