  Credit to Netflix I know that Velvet Buzzsaw wasn’t a huge hit when it was released on Netflix, but I was still interested in watching the movie, due to the unique horror concept.  But I made the mistake of watching the trailer first.  This was also around the time where I started to hate watching trailers before checking out a horror movie.  The trailer literally gives away the main plot points of the film, and it was so irritating that got ruined for me. And you know what? I actually enjoyed the film’s concept, but it wasn’t as exciting for me when I watched the stupid trailer.  We follow the story of a crew of asshole artists who are cursed by a dead man’s art.  Credit to Velvet Buzzsaw’s Flimsy Art World (and Who’s Done It Better) | Glasstire A group of artists are determined to find the next best thing in the art world, and one of them gets the bright idea to take away a dead man’s paintings and put them in their own art exhibit. This becomes a ...

  Credit to  The Plot is Heavenly in 'Hazbin Hotel' Season 2 - The Cornell Daily Sun Hazbin Hotel is one of the few horror shows that continues to surprise me in the best way. Season 2 has been a fantastic ride so far, revealing a lot of unexpected turns through the main three villains of the show.  I love how the main villain, named Vox, is seen as the media demon. The way they have played with the media in the second season is a stroke of genius, because in my opinion, the media tends to twist the truth. Vox is literally the image of media, since his character is an actual television, and everyone in Hell practically worships his character.  He has now become one of the most evil villains in animation history, due to how far he is willing to go to make sure his dream of domination and ruling over Hell comes true. His character is extremely well written, and while he is a powerful figure in Hell, I believe his downfall will be through his own insecurities and emotio...

  Credit to https://crimereads.com/gothic-vs-horror-its-time-to-settle-the-debate/ Gothic horror is a whole new level of horror in the genre. This kind of horror holds a special place in my heart, because of how dark this horror can be. Gothic horror is associated with the darkest forms of disturbing stories, mixed with romance and death. I really do admire this kind of storytelling, because of how incredible the stories can be. I've seen so many kinds of gothic horror, and it's awesome to see the dark setting come to life with its characters, as we watch these poor people try to navigate the world they live in. One of my favorite movies and examples is the recent remake of Nosferatu.   Credit to https://mubi.com/en/us/films/nosferatu-391740 I could not get over how messed up the story was to this film. We follow the story of a young woman named Ellen, who becomes the main obsession of a powerful vampire that is determined to do whatever it takes to have her. This beast kills ...

  Credit to  Why the Maria Ending in Silent Hill 2 is Pretty Special - Rely on Horror I think that Maria has the saddest backstory in the entirety of the Silent Hill franchise. And yes, Angela from Silent Hill 2 is also beyond tragic, but what makes Maria even more heartbreaking, is that she actually doesn't exist.  She was born from a wish, from the mind of James Sunderland. She resembles his dead wife, Mary, and is there to only torment James, her only purpose from the town of Silent Hill. I don't blame Maria for her frustration in both the original and the remake when it comes to the ending of both games.  She was hoping for James to accept her, because she wanted to feel like she existed, like she was a person. But even though James does show some emotion for having to let her go, he knows that he must defeat her, in order for him to move on from his pain of murdering his wife.  Once James makes his decision, Maria realizes that her fate has been sealed. She...

  Credit to https://bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3858660/dark-fantasy-five-great-recent-fantasy-video-games-for-horror-fans/ Fantasy and horror combined together can create these amazing and beautiful tales into something grisly and dark. These kind of fantasy tales are defined as “dark urban fantasy,’ their story now focusing on a grotesque environment with their characters and setting. There are six elements that can create a dark fantasy tale: - Supernatural creatures - they are practically in every fantasy horror story. - Ambiguous characters - we always need those strange and mysterious characters. - A creepy tone - I think every fantasy horror tale has this eerie setting. - Fear - supernatural creatures would definitely bring in the fear factor. - Terrible deaths - these deaths are always so freaking brutal. - Pure evil - of course we need some evil bastards for the main heroes to battle. - Dark magic - the evil or strange characters need some kind of dark magic to m...

  Credit to Smile 2 Review | Put on a Happy Face | The GATE After watching the first film, I knew I couldn't wait to watch the sequel. I was not expecting the ridiculous number of twists and turns, and somehow, the movie made it all work, and everything came together in a fantastic way.  The execution of the horror was perfect, this script needed a great director and a good crew of writers to pull off a horror concept this intense. I was vastly entertained throughout the movie until the very end, and I could not get over how BATSHIT this movie was.  Before I begin to talk about the sequel, there is one fate that I wasn't expecting to see. Right before we are introduced to our new main character, we see the fate of the cop from the first film, who had witnessed Rose's death. He attempts to kill someone to pass on the curse to someone else, but he screws everything up.  He kills two people by accident, and the wrong person is the one who gets the curse next. He tries t...
