The Conjuring 2 – James Wan is Back (Movie Review)
James Wan’s The Conjuring film franchise in its second installment seems pretty good when you anticipate horror movies with typical jump-scares.

The Witch (2016) – When the Devil Tricks a Devout
Debutant writer-director Robert Eggers hits the right punch at the right time with the film The Witch when the horror genre is challenging filmmakers to live up to the high expectations in terms of subject matter, narration, and elements of scare that should no way be cliché.

The Boy (2016) – More a Thriller than a Horror

Pay the Ghost – Movie Review
After watching Pay the Ghost, I’m simply wondering why an Oscar-winning actor like Nicolas Cage is over and again picking up such mediocre projects. Based on Tim Lebbon’s short story, the movie has little to offer, keep aside the genre clichés or any sort of horror or suspense or even an ounce of thrill. Cage […]
