Dashcam (2021) From the director of Host (2020), this is grosser than it needed to be, the camera is all over the place and the central character is tough to watch. (I'm not talking about her conservative politics, it's her general attitude towards everything that's aggressively off-putting.) On th...

La Bruja (1954) ★ ★ ½ Mexican Horror that's interesting for not being what you might expect. The hideous witch is transformed into a beautiful woman and learns that ugliness is something that comes from within. Fairy Tale story takes a dark turn when a tribunal of outcasts come in, calling the natu...

Long Pigs (2007) ★ ★ ★ - Okay There's a sizable run of pseudo-documentary Horror, attempting to erase the line of safety and show you how serial killers 'really' operate. The idea here isn't new and can easily be described as parts ofcHenry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Behind the Mask, Man Bites D...

I've seen 19 Cronenberg films and Crimes of the Future (1970) is ranked at the bottom. Student filmmaking and narrated instead of dramatized. Still, it does look like a film from Cronenberg's early period and there are a number of shots that would make you believe this person has a cinematic eye.

Now Chuck, you gonna just watch all these older than dirt movies, or are you gonna jump into the Movie of the Month and watch something a little less dusty with us? A flick that doesn't have the Model T rolling around in it, I think it would do you well. Old wine and cheese is tasty and all but you...

Unearthly Stranger (1963) One of those short British sci-fy thriller that can make big, dumb ideas seem brainy and the horror comes from unusual camerawork, often too close to the actors face. It's a technique that ages far better than monster makeup America was doing at the time. A small group of ...

Dark Intruder (1965) Originally filmed as a TV pilot but ultimately released as a feature, this is a swift monster mystery that blends unoriginal ideas into a fairly satisfying whole. Leslie Nielsen - young, studly and serious - stars as an occult expert on the trail of a serial killer. The plot co...

Big fan of Baskervilles 59. With more chances, Peter Cushing could've topped Rathbone as the superior Sherlock Holmes. Looking for some short Horror, I unintentionally watched three 1973 films by Serbian director Djordje Kadijevic. Sticenik is the best of the three. Not great, plays like a low-budge...

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021) ★ ½ Easily the most popular title in this post, it's a bit of a Catfish. A portrait of living alone online disguised as a Horror movie. (It's more Horror than the documentary Catfish, but not by much.) I was mostly okay with the extremely minimal presentat...

Manichithrathazhu (1993) aka. The Ornate Lock ★ ★ The problem with Bollywood recommendations is they over-rate their films on IMDB and Letterboxd. So, while looking for a hidden gem, I'm frequently recommended something from India like this: 8.7 on IMDB and 4.1 on Letterboxd. The closest I've come ...

I've been noticing these daily posts. Is there something you'd like us to post here? Our plans for the day, Horror or otherwise?

I grew up during the 80s where there was a new slasher film every week and many were just more of the same. That's why I especially enjoy looking for a treasure I overlooked back in the day, like Sweet Sixteen or the gloriously trashy Dead End Drive-In. Tracking Horror, it seems to be the last genre...

With Sardonicus Castle trades the fun for a slow, gothic folktale with uncharismatic actors and a terrible gimmick. House on Haunted Hill is one of the most popular choices and I've watched it 3 times, but it's overrated. That by itself isn't a good excuse, but combined with his much less discussed ...

William Castle is a favorite of mine. Not what I would call a 'great' director, but he can be very entertaining and rarely wastes my time. 1. The Tingler 2. Hollywood Story 3. Strait-Jacket 4. Homicidal 5. Johnny Stool Pigeon 6. When Strangers Marry 7. I Saw What You Did 8. The Mark of The Whistler ...

I hadn't realized until I was writing down the years how much of my recent viewings were new movies. I am cliche in thinking that Horror really took off after 1960, but I've seen plenty of good ones from before that point, going as far back as Silent gems like Fear/Furcht (1917) and The Bells (1926)...

Hello everyone, my name is Chuck. We don't know each other yet, but I love movies and devour them with a tremendous appetite. I have almost 16000 checks on ICheckMovies. I love Westerns, Musicals and Film noir, but my favorite genre is Horror. Inspired by They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? and its list...
