‘Smile 2’ is worth a smirk as it illustrates celebrity stress
Movie review: Writer-director Parker Finn’s sequel is a middling entry among 2024’s horror films set in the world of pop stardom.
Horror Movies
If you like Gogol-inspired Soviet folk-horror, you’ll love ‘Viy’ (1967)
Frightening Friday (Movie review): This Russian-language classic concerns a brave student and a very beautiful, very dead girl in what’s been called the first Soviet horror film.
‘Creature with the Atom Brain’ (1955) a surprisingly brainy film
Frightening Friday (Movie review): This snappy camp classic delivers more than it promises – at least insofar as the quantity of creatures sporting atom brains.
‘The Fury’ (1978) is weirder than ‘Carrie,’ but also worse
Frightening Friday (Movie review): You’d think a re-team of De Palma and extra-sensory abilities would be a winner. You’d be wrong.
In ‘The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy’ (1964), babes beat a bandaged bloke
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Not quite horror, not quite horrible, the film’s standout feature is the wrestling action.
De Palma breaks out with Hitchcock mashup ‘Sisters’ (1972)
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The director’s first horror film is a ridiculous but undeniably watchable romp.
In ‘Terrifier 3,’ Art is a psycho for all seasons
Movie review: Leone does not limit himself to Halloween, as he successfully expands the “Terrifier” saga to Christmas.
‘Terrifier’ films introduce Art the Clown, reintroduce practical gore effects
‘Terrifier’ Tuesday (Movie reviews): As “Terrifier 3” hits theaters, here’s a look at Damien Leone’s “All Hallows’ Eve,” “Terrifier” and “Terrifier 2.”
‘The Tenant’ (1976) the weakest, but also wildest, of Polanski’s Apartment Trilogy
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The director takes the lead role as he follows in the footsteps of “Repulsion” and “Rosemary’s Baby.”
Bloody romp ‘Abigail’ could’ve used sharper stakes
Movie review: These directors make slick but forgettable horror movies. Let’s give them a great script for their next project, huh?
