Spoiler Free Movie Review: All Fun And Games

From directors Eren Celeboglu and Ari Costa (interview) comes the brutal supernatural horror film All Fun and Games. All Fun and Games explores the elements of the cruelty inherent in children’s games – Flashlight Tag, Hangman, Hide & Seek – and what happens when the games go too far. When a group of teens finds a cursed knife in the woods, they unleash an evil demon that will not rest until it’s claimed all of their lives and souls in a terrifying death match. Children’s games are a huge part of the movie, furthering the deaths and the movie’s high body count. It is a comment on how the games of our childhood hide the darkness of their origin. One example is the game “Ring Around the Roses,” which is actually about people dying from the Black Plague. It also feels like they are a sort of commentary about the loss of innocence. The movie serves as a coming-of-age story,

Movie Review: Tenebrae (1982) – Synapse 4K UHD

Horror scribe Peter Neal (American television mainstay Anthony Franciosa) has just released his newest novel, the eponymous Tenebrae, and is all set to promote the living shit out of it down Italy way. No sooner does he set foot on solid ground (okay, slightly after) when he’s grilled by mystery novel super-duper fan Detective Germani (Giuliano Gemma) and his partner, Inspector Altieri (Carola Stagnaro), about a recent murder of a young woman… a murder inspired by (and physically utilizing) the pages of Neal’s novel… along with a big ol’ straight razor; a real case of shave and a haircut, two tits… Much like potato chips, our mysterious madman can’t stop at just one, and before long the list of extinct lovely ladies murdered in various and sundry ways (all inspired by Neal’s wicked words, natch) gets rather lengthy indeed. This all makes Neal absolutely bonkers to solve the mystery himself… which leads to red herrings and head trauma… but doesn’t

Spoiler-Free Reviews: THE BANALITY and WATCHDOG (Popcorn Frights)

THE BANALITY (2023) The Banality (AKA Death Letter Blues) is a moving meditation on the mysteries of life peppered with supernatural elements, set in rural Mississippi and rich in southern gothic atmosphere. A young feral boy is found in the area and town priest Father Moss (Sherman Augustus) persuades a childless couple to adopt him. Eleven years later, the boy has adapted well to life in the small town but is harassed by some of his classmates. When he turns up dead after a nighttime outdoor party, Father Moss, the parents, and practically every other local in the small community is affected by his demise one way or another. Gorgeous looking and wonderfully acted, this unique offering from cowriters/codirectors Strack Azar and Michael Stevantoni is contemplative, existential horror on the quiet side that asks viewers to consider how dark choices can lead to consequences years later, and even how such actions may affect people after their passing, whether or not
