Horror movies and scary stories.
El Conde is a visionary vampire film, a new experience with a subject that continues to revive from exhaustion. It is a historical fiction rocket ship that takes its setting and story to the stratosphere of strangeness, an unlikely mix of satire, sentiment and macabre imagination. #horrorsky #horror

Heretic is a contemplative consternation, a meditative musing that loses its mind. Mostly a cerebral haunt, it digs its nails in and draws bloods at opportune moments. It raises eternal questions and approaches deep topics from different angles, impossibly juggling religious and existential debates.

Untitled Horror Movie is a beyond low budget, found footage, pandemic production that manages to land a few laughs. A few more scary scenes would have gone a long way, as it isn’t quite funny enough to stand on its own, but it works with what it has to stay entertaining until the end. #horrorsky

The Pyramid victimizes itself, tripping over basic things and squandering a lot of what could have worked. It separates from the pack of big studio horror with a now novel flavor but fumbles the fundamentals too many times. #horrorsky #horrormovies

Dampyr is a throwback to an era of leather clad vampires and anime style action sequences. There are entertaining elements in its derivative, 2000s energy but it’s repeatedly far too cheesy to register as anything more than a niche tribute. #horrorsky #vampires

Slayers is embarrassing. It is as shallow as its phony influencer vibe and holds no production solidity or style. There is a stench of undisciplined filmmaking in every facet of its construction.

Host is an impressive demonstration of the enduring relevance of horror in any situation and the resilient creativity of its crafters. Filmed entirely with Zoom during the pandemic, it utilizes a new visual language to conjure old feelings of fear, isolation, and confinement. #horrorsky #horror

In the Tall Grass is cosmic psychology, a hedge maze of fate and regret. The concept innately leads to circular situations and it does end up feeling worn thin by the end but there’s enough in it that works to sustain it to the finish. #horrorsky #stephenking

The Love Witch coasts on style but can’t avoid being somewhat superfluous. Shot on 35mm film and performed like a 1960s period piece, it is a love letter to technicolor cinema. Stewing witchcraft and conversations about gender together, it at once feels entirely Sixties and decidedly modern. #horror

Stake Land is a Walking Dead prototype with vampires. It follows the tropes of that brand of horror-action; it’s an odyssey across a crumbling America overrun with savage former-humans and even more barbaric remnants of humanity. There’s some magic in its world but it’s overly familiar. #horrorsky

Immaculate is a shock jock of a horror movie, a film that spends most of its energy trying to push the audience’s buttons. It mostly lands its punches, especially in a brutal ending, but is one-dimensional and, at points, just a little boring. #horrorsky #horror

Night Swim is an altogether stupid but still enjoyable fling. It splashes around in the shallow end, every bit as juvenile and fun as a story about a haunted swimming pool seems like it would be. #horrorsky #horror

Blink Twice is a cannonball of female rage, an all too real horror of sex trafficking and oligarchic power. It is a twist on the rape-revenge fantasy that refreshingly doesn’t sensationalize the assault. For awhile it plays almost as a party movie with sinister suspense bubbling underneath. #horror

It Lives Inside feels like it is working from a template for recent supernatural films. There has been a string of myth and monster movies from different cultures recently. It Lives Inside may have hit harder a few years ago; it’s solid but can’t shake a sense of deja vu. #horrorsky #horror

The Parenting is wasteful and shallow. It squanders a decent budget and recognizable cast with forgettable material that fails to excite in any manner. As is often the case in uninspired horror-comedies, it is just neither scary nor funny, so it exists in a dull inertia without any purpose #horror

Imaginary has some scares for a casual audience and a big enough budget that it doesn’t fall apart at the seams but it’s more disconnected from reality than its teddy bear killer. Every aspect of it feels ungrounded and detached; it’s flashy but stunningly out-of-touch and ineffective. #horrorsky

It Comes At Night is an abyss of paranoia and decay, a rotting dystopia of ambiguous fear. Patiently peeled back and delicately captured with measured performances and careful cinematography, the vision it presents is calculated yet combustible. It’s a powder keg of tension and tragedy. #horrorsky

Nocturne is a crescendo of suspense, a cacophony of dread that inevitably builds to tragedy. It can turn towards melodrama at points; with its young cast and academia setting, there is almost a teen movie aspect to it. #horrorsky #horror

Under Paris is a fin-filled bloodbath and that’s all it really needs to be to deliver on its hook. While it’s nice that the main character is something more of a real person than most of the cartoonish supporting cast, the emotional stakes it strives for are out of its reach. #horrorsky

Bones and All is a twisted travel movie, a cannibal love story that is as bleak as it is starry-eyed. It’s a demented sort of Americana, a depressing tale of small towns, the open road, and sunsets. It revels in the darkness of a hopeless road trip and love gone wrong. #horrorsky #horror

The Manor is an empty vessel, a straw house without much inside. It is refreshing to have a predominantly senior cast and the film approaches some difficult themes around aging but the scares are boilerplate and the presentation is paper thin. #horrorsky #horror

Dark Harvest is a haphazard hodgepodge, a wannabe classic creature slasher with no real soul of its own. It abandons any sense of reality in its opening pitch and a 1960s period piece setting is unconvincing and anachronistic. #horrorsky

A Quiet Place: Day One is heartfelt, tight, and explosive. It’s another triumph for the blossoming brand, delivering its signature style of thrills. While it’s not quite as unique or unforgettable the third time around, there are few series that are as consistently solid. #horrorsky #horror

There’s Something Wrong with the Children is an adequate, somewhat workaday creepfest that gets by on its simplicity and traditional premise. It is a timeless type of horror that could be a scary story around a campfire and the Blumhouse production value keeps it afloat. #horrorsky #horror 🎥👻

MaXXXine jerks the wheel of Ti West’s eclectic series and delivers an 80s overdose of grainy gore and flippancy. It leans in on giallo elements and adult action films of the era and successfully captures the gritty video store treasure spirit it emulates. #horrorsky #horror
