Must-watch Bollywood Horror Films: PARI and TUMBBAD
While we don’t really find many good Hindi horror films, two films released last year (2018): PARI and TUMBBAD are perfect examples of what we can expect from modern-day filmmakers. Indian filmmakers often find criticism for their substandard stories full of clichés, but these two are different. These two films are deep-rooted in terms of […]

YOUR SON (Tu hijo), Spanish Movie (Review)
Spanish movie YOUR SON (original title: Tu hijo) is a gripping thriller with a tightly written story about the bonding between a father and son, the sadness of losing someone, and the anger when one sees that justice is not always served by the legal system. While the film is a mixture of suspense and […]
LUPT – Yet Another Forgettable Bollywood Horror Film
After watching the Jaaved Jaffery-starrer Bollywood horror film LUPT, most of us would be disappointed with the fact that there is no genuine effort to come up with an original story that can generate scare on its own.

THE SILENCE (Review) – Netflix’s ‘A Quiet Place’
With the latest Netflix thriller, THE SILENCE, we might wonder why the makers are trying hard to overexpose an idea that’s already been explored by others. Yes, we have watched films like “A Quiet Place” and “Bird Box“, but this one from the director John R. Leonetti (“Annabelle”) has no originality. THE SILENCE is yet […]
Winchester (2018) – Fun to watch but not scary
Based on the Winchester Mystery House, one of the most haunted mansions in North America, the film ‘Winchester’ directed by the Spierig Brothers is fairly entertaining but doesn’t have a compelling script to make it scary. It is more like a drama that is fun to watch but doesn’t have enough substance we usually look […]
‘Tiger House’ (2015) – A Fast-Paced Home-Invasion Action Thriller
Thomas Daley directed “Tiger House,” a fast-paced home-invasion film that is entertaining, even though it is generic and predictable. Kaya Scodelario stars in this low-profile yet sufficiently engaging film for a DVD release. One thing we must appreciate about the film is its plotline, performances, and some attempt at character development. “Tiger House” follows Kelly, […]

Directed by Jang Hang-ju, the South Korean mystery thriller film ‘FORGOTTEN’ (original title – Gi-eok-ui bam) follows the bonding between two brothers that starts to break after one gets kidnapped – and returns with no memory of the past 19 days. FORGOTTEN is probably one of the finest movies I have watched recently. Such a […]

‘Diablero’ Netflix Season 1 – Review
Mexican web series ‘Diablero’ (means a demon hunter) is a good one to watch if you enjoy horror shows with all those supernatural elements like demons and angels. The show is about the fight between some brave humans and evil forces but has enough drama, humor, and horror. Jose Manuel Cravioto directed this eight-episode long […]
