‘We Are Still Here’ (2015): A Tense, Frightening & Haunting Ghost Story
After watching quite a few independent horror movies in the last couple of years, I can safely say that there are few filmmakers who can actually come up with an impressive story and concept. Even though ‘We Are Still Here’ is not an independent production, it nowhere tries to overdo things with any usual ghost […]
‘Indigenous’ (2014) – Horror – Tries Too Heard to Meet Genre Expectations
Ever since Paranormal Activity is released, the found-footage style of filmmaking has become a norm in the horror genre. Of course, the whole style of filmmaking where one or more characters in the film record the happenings while being an integral part of the story makes the whole experience interesting. However, one needs to be particular about […]
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2015)
The first reason I wanted to watch The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is that it’s the sequel to 2012 Daniel Radcliffe starrer supernatural horror film. And the second but the most intriguing reason for me to be driven by is some amazing horror films such as The Babadook, Annabelle, Jessabelle and a […]

Grace: The Possession (DVD release, 2014)
Talking about the film Grace: The Possession writer-director Jeff Chan tries to make it a bit different by capturing the horror and trauma from the very eye of the possessed. Many of us have watched the likes of Exorcist and The Last Exorcism, where the demonic act and the exorcism rituals were in the center stage. […]
The Appearing (2014) – More Surprises, Less Horror
Don’t know if this is only my view, but these days there are very few horror films that can scare you to death. In fact, horror films with not-so-convincing storylines make those very boring to watch. Nevertheless, films like “The Conjuring”, “Insidious: Chapter 2” and “Mama” are some of the finest horror films of recent […]
‘Lights Out’ (Short Film) – Provokes Fear Inside You
Unlike most of my friends and siblings, I like horror films a lot. I just want the whole idea behind any horror movie although there are very few impressive ones. One more thing is that other than traditional horror films in cinemas around the world, these days; YouTube has opened an avenue for new filmmakers […]
The Conjuring (2013) – All in Terror and Horror
Last night I was forced to watch the film “The Conjuring” by a friend who is very much interested in exploring the kind of horror elements used in the movie. Well for me, as a big time horror movie fan I was only expecting this one as yet another ghostly occurrence or haunted house story. […]
'The Tunnel' (2011) – Less Scary But More Engaging
Have you heard about the 135K Project? Well, it’s an alternative film financing model. It is the frame-selling, crowd-funding free internet movie release model behind the smash hit ‘The Tunnel’. Overall, the movie The Tunnel is a good experience for a low budget and fan-funded horror project. What’s interesting about the film is that it very aptly used […]
