The Babadook

A troubled family encounters a book which harbors an entity.

 For the most part, “The Babadook” is a solid story.

The film features loss, depression, anxiety and even an evil presence.  Overall, this kinda puts me in an evil-ish “Home Alone”.    Not bad for a 1-timer.

In the Mouth of Madness

An insurance investigator sets off in search of missing horror writer, Sutter Cane, but finds much more.

“In the Mouth of Madness” is a good mix of weird, spook, and creeping dread. I like this movie and I think that any fan of Lovecraft would as well. Kick back with your favorite Old One and watch it.

Sinister

A crime author moves into a house and discovers a box of film for which he is unprepared.


“Sinister” is worthy of multiple viewings and delivers creepiness and atmosphere. I rather enjoyed the suspense throughout the film. The main baddie is a bit goofy looking, but in the right light can be spooky. Watch it.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Two coroners attempt to discover the secret of an unexplained body, but what they discover is far more terrifying.


When I found this movie, I wasn’t expecting much. To my enjoyment, “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” turned out to be quite a gem. It makes excellent use of atmosphere and is definitely recommended.

The Lord of Tears

An Irish teacher inherits a house from his mother that harbors a secret.

“The Lord of Tears” is the story of a man plagued by the multiple estates his mother leaves him and oh, also by an Owlman.  That’s right. Honestly this was a confusing film. There was however an Epic Mustache Man though.  Throughout the film, scenes would flash to EMM doing various things like: holding marbles, sharpening an axe, and taking baths.  Let that sink in. Also, the 5 minute dancing scene is something to behold.

I didn’t really care for “The Lord of Tears”, but I can’t help but feel that I missed some deeper meaning.  Watch it and wonder as well.

Creep

A freelance cameraman accepts an assignment with a very odd character.


“Creep” is not the classical horror with ghouls, ghosts, and goblins, but it does establish the horror possible within us. As its name suggests, “Creep” will fill you with general unease as you follow this story to completion. Watch it.

Don’t be Afraid of the Dark

An architect buys a mansion to refurbish, but some things are better left undiscovered.


This is a decent film with good atmosphere and a brood of charming little critters. A good first film for those new to horror and a decent palate cleanser for those who aren’t. Good for a watch.
