  Credit to  Deep Red – IFC Center I have spoken about Giallo in the past, explaining why I love these films so damn much. I love how artistic these films portray themselves, including the kills that can be pretty brutal at times.  Dario Argento’s Deep Red is still my favorite Giallo film of all time. I recently watched the film again this week, and I still love how the mystery of the killer is slowly building up to the reveal. The kills are absolutely delightful, and I know that makes me sound crazy, but these kills are pretty gory and tough to watch.  I think these kills have to be Dario Argento’s most violent deaths that made me cringe from watching them onscreen. This is how bad each death was: A psychic is stabbed with a cleaver, and she is shoved against a glass window that breaks, and she impales herself on the blades.  A man is beaten, his mouth and teeth are based against rough surfaces, and then he is stabbed through the neck to finish the job.  ...

  Credit to  "The Outsider" Fish in a Barrel (TV Episode 2020) - IMDb The Outsider is one of the few Stephen King stories that makes me feel sick to my stomach. The story is both a horror and detective crime story, when it comes to the terrifying case of a child who is murdered. People claim that they saw a man named Terry Maitland, covered in the blood of the kid he killed. He is immediately arrested for this crime, but the case only gets stranger when the detective realizes that Terry was in two places at once.  This discovery leads to something far darker, to the possible existence of a monster that is a shapeshifter, taking on the appearance of anyone to commit his sick crimes.  I struggled to get through this story, due to how horrific the crimes were. This is one of the few Stephen King books I would not recommend to anyone. Viewer discretion is strongly advised for anyone interested in checking out this book.  I had to take a two week break while reading ...

  Credit to  Elijah Wood-Starring 'Come to Daddy' Promises a Crazy and Unpredictable Crowd-Pleaser [Trailer] - Bloody Disgusting I can’t believe I forgot about the majority of this film. I had purchased this film years ago when I was in college, and all I could remember was that some guy named Norval came to visit his shady dad. In the beginning of the film, you learn that Norval is a privileged rich kid who has a dad that abandoned him years ago. He writes a letter to his son, asking Norval to come visit him. Norval finds out the hard way that his dad kinda sucks. He breaks his phone. 2. He calls him the worst kind of names. 3. He isn’t impressed by his lifestyle. 4. He taunts Norval with his past ‘drinking problem.’ 5. And he makes rude comments about Norval’s mother. So, it appears that the relationship between Norval and his father is off to a bad start. In other words, his dad is a total asshole. The father and son duo eventually reach their breaking point, and they get i...

  Credit to  The Woman in the Castello: A Gripping Historical Novel Perfect for Book Clubs: James, Kelsey: 9781496742919: Amazon.com: Books I’m a huge fan of Giallo films, that follow a particular kind of formula when it comes to slasher films. Giallo likes to focus on making death appear like you’re staring at a beautiful, grotesque painting, while adding psychological tension and hints of erotism throughout the plot.  I never thought in a million years I would find a book that follows the Giallo formula, and I found it by accident while navigating a store that was selling books at $1.25. ( That price made me so happy, since I was able to easily afford this book lol ). Once I read the summary of The Woman in the Castello , I was immediately hooked.  The story follows a young woman named Silvia Whitford, who is going to star in a horror movie as her debut acting career. During production, things go wrong, and dark secrets start to appear as she is desperate to figure...

  Credit to  Darren Aronofsky May Remake Stephen King’s CUJO for Netflix | Yardbarker I have no idea how to feel about this remake announcement.  I think everyone has the same worry with this film.  We’re all hoping CGI will not be involved.  I feel that the majority of horror films out there would rather stick to CGI than going all out with practical effects. That is what makes a horror film special, like if the Terrifier franchise could pull it off, then any horror movie out there can! I’m also hoping this is not a cash grab. If we are going to get a remake, I hope the writers don’t dare go over the top with the dog attacks, or have the dog be CGI in some scenes. We horror fans want the real thing! I guess we’ll find out later on what sort of ‘dog’ we’re going to see…

  Credit to  'Saw XI' gets shaky update, writer says 'it may or may not be made' I couldn't believe my eyes when I first discovered that Saw XI has been cancelled. One of my most anticipated horror movies of 2025 has now just faded away. This is a huge disappointment for all horror fans out there!  I never thought I would fall in love again with the franchise after Saw X , and now that potential is now just gone. There was reportedly an ongoing argument between two producers behind the next installment, that led to the cancellation of the next film. I'm so sad that we won't get to see John Kramer, Amanda, and Hoffman in action working together as a team. Man, there goes my villain dream team.  This is a huge loss for us horror fans!

  Credit to  Speak No Evil - Official Trailer [HD] | A Shudder Original I did mention in the past that I would make sure to watch the original  Speak No Evil  before watching the remake. I actually regret watching the original, because I felt so broken after watching the film.  Speak No Evil 2022  follows the story of Bjorn, his wife, Louise, and their daughter, Agnes. During a trip, they run into a ‘friendly family,’ who ask them to come visit them during the summer. The couple decides to visit, instantly regretting their decision as time goes on during the weekend. The other family is quite strange, the couple, Patrick and Karin are downright weird, while their son never speaks. What follows is a cycle of endless mistakes, that lead to one of the most disturbing endings I have ever seen in a horror film. Bjorn and his family are aware that Patrick and Karin are strange, yet they make the mistake of continuing to stay with them. Credit to  S...

  Credit to An Anonymous Girl: A Novel: Hendricks, Greer, Pekkanen, Sarah: 9781250133731: Amazon.com: Books I was not expecting this book to bother me so much.  And it was all due to the villain in this book. Man, she pissed me off in ways that no villain in a thriller novel has ever had before.  The story centers on a young woman named Jessica Farris, who decides to participate in a study with a psychologist named Dr. Lydia Shields. Jessica is a makeup artist who is in dire need of money, in order to support herself, and her family, who are now in a terrible financial situation.  Jessica harbors guilt for her sister, who endured a horrible accident at a young age, and now must be cared for by her parents, due to her head injury. Jessica blames herself for not looking after her that day, because her sister ended up falling out of a window.  And she also found herself in a terrifying situation with a man named Gene French in the past, a professor who took advanta...

  Credit to  Amazon.com: The Good Daughter: A Novel: 9780062430243: Slaughter, Karin: Books This is by far Karin Slaughter’s best work. I was not expecting the story to leave me feeling so broken as I progressed through the journey of two sisters who endured horrible trauma at the hands of two men. The story follows two sisters named Charlie and Sam Quinn, who fell apart after what they went through in their past. Charlie is currently close with her father, is stuck in a failing marriage with her husband, Ben, and is a bit of an asshole to everyone she runs into. Charlie is working with her father, known as Rusty, who is a lawyer. Sam Quinn is just as successful as Rusty with her own business as a lawyer, but even she isn’t happy with her life. She lost her husband to an illness, she has to use a cane to walk, and she her vision is a bit hazy, after what she went through as a child. The sisters reunite when Rusty ends up injured. They work together to solve a current crime tak...
